August 20, 2020 by No Comments

The music world has been turned on its head in 2020 and that is no exception for great non-profit community organizations like Amplify My Community. But their cause has not gone away, and so they have had to be creative in finding new ways to raise money – hence, the twice-monthly streaming show supporting its mission to fight poverty in the community. Fortunately, Amplify has great friends in the Atlanta music scene including area favorites The Bitteroots who are debuting their new recording “Time To Spare” live on Thursday August 20 on Amplify’s Summer Streaming Series. The single is available on all major streaming platforms.

August 10, 2020 by No Comments

As a founding member of The Bitteroots, Mike Davis has been half the rhythm section of the band throughout its 12-year history, playing stages around the Southeast and performing on each of the group’s half-dozen recording projects. He has also drummed for other artists, including making regular onstage appearances behind Decatur-based singer-songwriter Mike Killeen.

This summer Mike has stepped out from behind the kit and released an entirely solo EP under the alias The Howling Tourists.

Mike Killeen’s ‘Ghost’: No Busters Needed Here

December 2, 2019 by No Comments

Mike Killeen’s latest album ‘Ghost’ is filled with nine fresh, heartfelt, instantly-likeable songs. There is no haunting specter lurking here. Mike says “The title is not directly linked to the songs, even though many of them are about memories. ‘Ghost’ just seemed like an interesting word. I certainly thought of it as looking forward, not backwards – like something that always will be, not simply something that used to be.”

Couched In Variety, Papa Jack Impresses With ‘Witness Tree’

October 11, 2019 by No Comments

DISCLAIMER: At AMGV we have not done any true record reviews. Good, objective record reviewing is a rare skill, not unlike that of a spirits reviewer who can tell me there are hints of crème brulee, bacon bits, and peach cobbler with a peppercorn finish when all I taste is bourbon that I either like or do not like so much.

However, we like to make readers aware of new art from the fine folks we have featured in the Grapevine, and if we cannot offer up donnish descriptors or grandiose expositions, we can at least give you some of our impressions.

In August, we profiled Papa Jack Couch as he was preparing a listening party for his new album Witness Tree (click here for story). The album is out now, and the record release party is October 12 at 8:30 P.M. at The Alamo, 19 W Court Square, in Newnan.

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.
