John Driskell Hopkins’ Heavy Revelation With The Bloody Wolves Of Venice

March 4, 2019 by No Comments

You will also find him behind the board as an engineer and producer in his own studio, Brighter Shade Studios, leading the John Driskell Hopkins Band, and serving as a leader in the Atlanta chapter of National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Artist Off The Vine: Play Center’s Fun With Rock & Roll Toys

September 19, 2018 by No Comments

Sometimes it is important to remember that rock and roll ultimately is about having fun. Musicians with day jobs or even those consumed with tasks to manage their social media and other career steps know that the daytime has enough stressors of its own. Sometimes you want to just listen and have fun. Sometimes you just want to play.

Artist Off The Vine: Virginia Schenck/VA And The Uniting Appeal Of Jazz

September 13, 2018 by No Comments

Virginia Schenck – or VA – is a master of nuance – of bringing subtlety and beauty to the music she creates whether she is covering a classic or improvising an original. Her passion is listening – to silence, music, life sounds and finding a way to bring that into her world to create something special and enduring.

Artist Off The Vine: Peter Searcy And Friends Make Good Night Noises
August 23rd

August 17, 2018 by No Comments

Now that we have secured our advance purchase tickets, we are going to let you in on this: Peter Searcy is playing a show at Smith’s Olde Bar on August 23rd.

This is not the first time we will see Peter play. We have seen him play a packed house at the old Roxy and in front of 20,000 people at Music Midtown. So getting to hear him perform in the intimacy of Smith’s Atlanta Room feels like a U2 pop-up show at a Dublin pub.

Right before lunch I get in the car and turn on WABE. I hear a familiar voice and music behind it. I cannot believe what I am hearing out of the speakers and it catches me off guard a minute. “I have that record!” It is none other than Kyle Gordon of our favorite MammaBear in an interview on City Lights. Way to go Lois!
It is already time to start working for the weekend! The annual Summer Shade Festival is a wonderful kickoff to more pleasant weather outdoor entertainment. Among all the music and art are some of our favorite people including Lynx Deluxe Saturday at 3:20PM – they always deliver on stage with their batch of energetic tunes. Also check out Rare Birds Sunday at 4:00PM and James Hall & The Steady Wicked at 7:45PM. See the festival website for a full schedule!
Look at this sweet line up playing right now! It’s free!
This week marks the release of ‘Free Radical’, the fourth full-length studio album from MammaBear, the music project led by Kyle Gordon, who wrote and sings lead on all seven of the tunes, in addition to contributing drums and percussion, guitars, and bass. ‘Free Radical’ was originally recorded at Gordon’s home on an 8-track recorder during the pandemic and later finished in the studio, supported by renown local allies Benjamin J. Davidow (Gas Hound, Phantom Electric, The Buzzards of Fuzz), Josh Longino (Disapyramids, Gringo Star), and Tony W. Belser (Bloodplums), whose talents give this record a real band vibe.
There is so much good music happening all around Atlanta this holiday weekend. One show to which you should treat yourself is on Saturday September 4 as Smith’s Old Bar hosts The Ladies Of…
For a few years now we have enjoyed recordings by MammaBear, full of ear-grabbing buzzy licks and an easy, nonchalant hookiness and cool vibe.
