SUMMARY:Chicken Pickin' Brunch w/ The Carmonas
DESCRIPTION:The Carmonas take their roots-bound sound to fresh melodic and lyrical regions with cut-above song crafting\, strong vocal choruses and ear-grabbing harmonies. The natural blend of the voices of primary members and siblings Chad\, Alison\, and Aaron Carmona is what really draws attention to the talent apparent in this Americana group. The band blends a wide range of musical styles into a cohesive\, original sound. With fiddle\, guitar\, mandolin\, banjo\, and upright bass\, one would expect a traditional bluegrass sound\, but what you hear is something much more complex. \nAs an up and coming band The Carmonas have had the chance to perform at a wide variety of venues across the country from New York to Nashville and California to the Dakotas. In addition to stateside touring they have had the chance to tour Europe\, South and Central America\, and the Middle East. They are currently promoting their recently released first full length studio album “The Carmonas”\, the follow-up to their debut EP\, “Oh\, Alice”. They have been given the opportunity to share the stage with Emmy Lou Harris\, Marty Stuart\, Dale Ann Bradley\, Band of Heathens\, and the Blind Boys of Alabama among others. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nTickets are not available for FREE shows. For seating at a FREE show\, please make reservations for the appropriate time at www.venkmans.com (see “Reservations”)\, or by calling 470-225-6162.

SUMMARY:Chicken Pickin' Brunch with Coyote Anyway
DESCRIPTION:A Coyote chorus howls against a fading summer swelter. The mellow jangle of rusty strings picked with a fierce intuition\, refreshing like a crisp cold brew on a hot day. Coyote Anyway makes music like that. Both fresh and familiar. With a tip of the hat to a hundred years of American music\, their sound is informed by classic wax from both sides of the tracks. A lazy country shuffle\, a touch Bo Diddley flavored mambo\, a  few barnburner blues romps. Maybe when the lights go lower and the bar is filling\,  they turn up a bit and this potent blend sounds a bit like Rock & Roll\, the way your grandpappy thought of it. \nThe story of Coyote Anyway is a long road with many forks. Comprised of Dave Kirslis \, Matt Garrison\, Zeke Sayer and Matthew Pendrick\, the group has roots that run deep. All born and raised in Georgia\, the members of this coyote collective have steeped in the rich music culture of the south\, and digested its potent tonic to heart. It’s the sound of old friends coming together to play what comes naturally and what feels good. Over the years they have shared a thousand stages with some of the best around. “A real appreciation for tradition doesn’t mean you must be tied to the past…really it’s freeing. To use those sounds and ideas as spring board to our own twist on it\, not unlike the way any one of our heroes did in their day.” \n“Every member of this group is doing really great things on their own and with other projects and such\,” says Pendrick. “I think that’s part of what makes it so fun. There’s a lot of mutual respect for each other as players and writers\, so when we have a chance to get together\, there’s a genuine excitement that comes from being in such good company.” Audiences around the South who have been privy to the band’s live set have said much the same. Toes get to tappin. Hearts get to bumping. Everybody have a real good time. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nTickets are not available for FREE shows. For seating at a FREE show\, please make reservations for the appropriate time at www.venkmans.com (see “Reservations”)\, or by calling 470-225-6162.

SUMMARY:Chicken Pickin' Brunch w/ Pickxen
DESCRIPTION:Pickxen hails from the foothills of North Ga and brings with it a sense of humor and a passion for good simple music.  Holding dear to the words spoken by American song-writer\, Harold Arlan: “All you need is 3 chords and the truth”\, Pickxen crafts songs that can melt your heart and then knock your socks off.  The trio\, made up of Dixie(Laura Monk) providing vocals\, rhythm guitar and ukelele\, Pixie (John Monk) on bass\, and Micksy (Micheal Garvey) adding lead guitar and harmony vocals builds their music around Laura’s strong\, yet sweet and soothing voice.  The instruments are present and easily heard\, but don’t step on the vocals.\nOfficially classified as Americana\, their music skips over genres and embraces many sounds.  Providing something for everyone has enabled them to  play festivals\, corporate events\, house concerts and wineries through out the Southeast.  Having released their first cd\, Picks ’n Vittles in 2016 they are currently working on album #2 and  they will be previewing some of those songs at the show at New Dawn.\n“Laura’s voice reminds me of a young Nanci Griffith at times\, but at other times Allison Krauss springs to mind and every now and then I think that I could be listening to a young sibling of Emmylou Harris….” review of Picks ’n Vittles cd by Rocking Magpie. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nTickets are not available for FREE shows.

SUMMARY:Chicken Pickin' Brunch with Sans Abri
DESCRIPTION:The literal translation of “Sans Abri” is “without shelter.”  The French use it as a term for “homeless”.  In late 2011\, Josh Erwin and Michael Paynter found themselves with a handful of new songs that didn’t have a home in The Packway Handle Band\, the acclaimed bluegrass-based group from Athens\, GA\, that they co-founded.  Using a cajon to loop live drum beats and alternately adding acoustic and electric guitar and mandolin\, the band creates a sound that steps away from their bluegrass roots and finds itself wading firmly into Americana waters. With only Erwin and Paynter at the helm\, the songs possess a sophisticated character with wide and transcendent appeal.  The songs on the duo’s first release\, Shelter (December 2013\, through Twin Cousins Records) often tackle the inevitable predicaments inherent in modern life. The songs range from dark to playful\, entailing both sad and funny themes\, and are performed with a professional and skilled musical sensibility that only comes with the years that Erwin and Paynter have spent playing music together.  Erwin’s “The Scientist” asks the difficult question\, “Are we someone’s experiment?”  It combines satire with genuine curiosity that has puzzled mankind for millennia.  In “One Pill A Day\,” a Paynter composition that progresses around a clutching mandolin riff that is doubled by the guitar\, one is led to believe that perseverance lies in the form of the pharmaceutical-induced peace of mind of a haunted person that can’t ever reach homeostasis without crashing back to the ground. Paynter’s “Winds Me Up\,” the more somber number that closes out the duo’s debut release\, showcases Erwin’s deftness on electric guitar and the duo’s tight-knit vocal harmonies.  Those who give Shelter a listen will surely be pleased that these songs have found a home and a fruitful place to grow and evolve. \nRESERVATION INFO: \nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT. Tickets are not available for FREE shows. For seating at a FREE show\, please make reservations for the appropriate time at www.venkmans.com (see “Reservations”)\, or by calling 470-225-6162.

SUMMARY:Chicken Pickin' Brunch with Dusty Roads
DESCRIPTION:Dusty Roads is a high-energy Georgia-grown Americana band\, formed by Atlanta based musician\, John Mickelson.  When you’re at a Dusty Roads show\, expect to hear influences of the legends of country and bluegrass music\, such as Merle Haggard\, Flatt & Scruggs\, Willie Nelson\, Buck Owens\, and Bill Monroe.  You can also expect sprinklings of songs and sounds of the great writers and musicians from across the globe and halls of time\, like Django Reinhardt\, Duke Ellington\, and Irving Berlin.  “Come take a trip\, down that long\, dusty road”.\n            Comprised of some of the Southeasts finest pickers and singers\, the band is ever evolving and growing.  “We’re all Georgia boys” says Mickelson of the band members\, which features Jared Lanham on mandolin and tabla – the traditional Indian hand-drum.  “Colt Bowen has one of the lightest touches of any drummer in town” says Mickelson of the Dusty Roads drummer.  Fiddlin’ phenom Danny Bermel joined the group in late 2016\, and adds an agile musical flare that pushes their musical crescendos to another level of fever-pitch.  Dusty Roads is constantly searching for that sound\, that lick\, that twangy hook that sinks deep into the listener’s soul and pulls them into the unfolding story of each song.  The group cherishes the purity of silvery strings ringing together harmoniously.  The band champions comradery\, respect for the craft of their instruments\, and finely constructed songs that feel as if they soar down from the mountaintop to resonate the listener’s heart-strings.\n            “We came here with one purpose\, to have a blast playing and performing live acoustic music”- says Mickelson\, singer/songwriter for Dusty Roads.   Growing up in Atlanta\, he was surrounded by a diverse world of cultures\, food\, and music.  “My great-grandfather was a mandolin player from Germany\, so I guess it just runs in the blood”\, says Mickelson of his musical lineage.  Like a rear-view mirror in a pick-up truck\, Dusty Roads looks back through the history of written and recorded music\, studying fervently to find just what made each of these classic songs so special and unique.  Just like ‘looking backwards to go forwards’\, Mickelson applies this approach to writing original material for the band.\n            During the Winter of 2017\, Dusty Roads went into the studio to begin recording its debut self-titled album.  The album will feature music inspired by life\, love\, and heartache.  “Life is heavy\, but music can make your bags a little lighter” – Dusty Roads \nTICKETING/RESERVATION INFO: \nTickets are not available for FREE shows.

SUMMARY:Chicken Pickin' Brunch w/ Caleb & the Gents
DESCRIPTION:Caleb Warren and the Perfect Gentlemen are indeed the “New wine in an old bottle” that fits the prescription for a new generation of revivalists. They bridge the gap between the music of the old-timey speakeasies and juke joints with the voice of a new generation by blending the timeless traditions of Americana and Western Swing with a uniquely hot and fresh flavor that transcends genre. Their acoustic brass ‘n’ brew-grass tunes include raucous barnburners and heart-breaking ballads that continue to intoxicate audiences with performances of the highest spirits. Whether on the river or on the rug\, Caleb & the Gents are here to serve and sweep you off your feet\, so drink ‘em down and get ready to dance! \nThey’re setting up their strings and glasses to toast what promises to be a year worth celebrating. Caleb and the Gents are excited to continue their travels on tours packed with performances at countless locations with equally energetic atmospheres. Caleb Warren and the Perfect Gentlemen is led by the compelling crooner Caleb Warren\, whose engaging lyrics and rhythm guitar keeps the audience swingin’ and swayin’. He’s accompanied by Colt Bowen (percussion)\, Dave Aitken (lead guitar and banjo)\, Jenna Mobley (fiddle)\, Robert Green (trumpet)\, and their newest member Ian Blanton (upright bass). \nCaleb Warren hails from Chattanooga\, TN while the rest of the band is based in Atlanta\, GA. A few of their influences include Django Reinhardt\, Jimmie Rodgers\, and Tampa Red. Their inspiring ability to communicate and stay in sync\, despite their technical complexity\, is only surpassed by their strong solos and independent personalities that come across in their performances as individuals and a lively unified organism with a truly organic sound. \nSo if you can swing it\, come early\, stay late\, and don your dancing shoes\, and spend a night of entertainment with this toe-tappin’\, foot-stompin’\, genre bendin’\, string strummin’ fusion band. They’re rough and rowdy\, technical and tight\, but never ever high-strung. These tunes will have you cutting a rug before you know it. Every chance they get to churn out tunes\, they’re always set up and ready to go. They’re a rare vintage ripped\, ready\, and rarin’ to exercise and celebrate the right to perform their craft. \nRESERVATION INFO: \nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT. Tickets are not available for FREE shows. For seating at a FREE show\, please make reservations for the appropriate time at www.venkmans.com (see “Reservations”)\, or by calling 470-225-6162.
