SUMMARY:Lilac Wine
DESCRIPTION:Starting May 25th\, Lilac Wine will perform at Venkman’s every Thursday beginning at 7:30pm! Admission is FREE! Dinner reservations can be made at www.venkmans.com (see “Reservations”)\, or by calling 470-225-6162. \nLilac Wine is best described as a sweet and heady musical recipe. The main ingredients are unexpected song choices\, skillful musicianship and adventurous arrangements that magically combine into music that both alluring and hypnotic for the listener.  \nFor Rob Henson\, founding member and bassist\, Lilac Wine provides the ideal ensemble that can passionately play many musical genres other than the typical jazz and folk styles most commonly associated with acoustic groups.  \nAs one of Atlanta’s most versatile musicians\, Rob has played and/or recorded as a bass player with a wide array of musical groups including the Yacht Rock Revue\, the Atlanta Symphony\, Telegram\, the Atlanta Opera Orchestra\, Jukebox Fiasco\, the Atlanta Ballet\, and numerous singer-songwriters such as Shawn Mullins\, David Ryan Harris and Vince Gill. From 2006 – 2012 Rob recorded and toured the United States with singer/songwriter Corey Smith\, playing over 150 shows a year\, as well as recording five studio albums\, and opening for legendary acts such as ZZ Top\, Willie Nelson\, Cheap Trick\, Snoop Dog\, and Eric Church.  \nIn late 2013\, Rob recruited first-call guitarist\, singer\, arranger\, and multi-instrumentalist Grant Reynolds to be the Swiss army knife of the future Lilac Wine lineup. Relocating from LA to his hometown of Atlanta in 2008\, Grant has worked with many respected local music artists including Heather Luttrell\, Brian Collins Band\, Gareth Asher\, Davin McCoy\, Lefty Williams Band\, Francisco Vidal\, Sonia Leigh\, and Yacht Rock Schooner. Known for his technical proficiency\, adaptability\, and well-rounded musicality\, Grant also co-founded the electrifying Reynolds & Williams Band with Joel Williams (former Zac Brown Band guitarist)\, and has most recently toured and recorded with Collective Soul frontman Ed Roland’s new endeavor\, “Ed Roland & the Sweet Tea Project.”  \nUnlike Grant and Rob\, Larissa Mia is new to the professional music scene and Lilac Wine is her first band. As recently as a year ago\, Mia did not sing in public\, only for herself at home. Then she made a personal leap to singing at open mic events\, which is where Henson and Reynolds found her. The two musicians were immediately taken with her voice that sounded so soulful it was like like mist on a cool damp night.  \nMark Gresham\, reviewing for on July 23\, 2014 at Lilac Wine’s debut concert at Steve’s Live Music commented\, “Her buoyant\, often sultry voice comes with a remarkable natural musicianship\, an ease of phrasing and infection with spot-on intonation\, meshing beautifully with the playing of her seasoned colleagues.” \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:Secondhand Swagger
DESCRIPTION:Secondhand Swagger is more than a name; it’s a lifestyle. We’re an Atlanta-based band with a passion for vintage sounds and style\, disciples of soul music from the 1960s and 70s. Our mission is to keep this music alive and people dancing\, taking it back to a time when lyrics and melodies came from the heart with a wink and a laugh.  \nSecondhand Swagger was just a dream when Abby Wren (vocals) and Scott Bryan (drums and vocals) got together in 2008\, spending every Sunday for a year in a song-writing sojourn. Secondhand grew member by member and the family no includes Tiffany White (keys\, vocals)\, Rob Lane (guitar\, vocals) and Jairaj Swann (bass\, hot peppers). \nWe believe we’re soulmates brought together to keep this vintage sound alive. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT!

SUMMARY:Yacht Rock Revue UNPLUGGED
DESCRIPTION:You’re welcome! The Yacht Rock Revue™ is the Greatest Show on Surf and the finest tribute to ‘70s light rock to ever perform anywhere.  Ever.  Their spot-on renditions of Hall & Oates\, Michael McDonald\, Steely Dan\, and the rest of the Time-Life Infomercial Catalog have enthralled fans across the United States.  It goes without saying they have taken their act to the high seas\, performing showcase sets on music cruises with Weezer\, Kid Rock\, Train\, Zac Brown Band\, Sister Hazel\, and fitness guru Jillian Michaels.  \nBy blurring the lines between a tribute\, an original act\, and a comedic troupe\, the Yacht Rock Revue™ has forged a unique niche market and a special bond with their fans.  The band attacks each song as if it were their own\, and the energy exchanged between the band and the crowd has more in common with a stadium U2 show than that of a typical bar band.  \nThe band has won accolades ranging from “Best Place to Get Drunk With Your Dad” to “Best Overall Music Act in Atlanta” to “Best Place to Start an Extramarital Affair\,” and has been name-dropped by the New York Times\, Pitchfork\, the Guardian UK\, Spin\, TimeOut New York\, Billboard\, MTV.com\, and (probably) your mom at her last cocktail party.  \nSpeaking of name-dropping\, members of the band have played on-stage with members of Weezer\, Billy Joel\, Walter Egan\, .38 Special\, John Mayer\, Zac Brown Band\, Little River Band\, Sheryl Crow\, Noel Gallagher\, Starbuck\, Sarah McLachlan\, Don Henley\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Neil Finn\, Jellyfish\, Devo\, Nine Inch Nails\, Joan Jett\, Wet Willie\, Bon Jovi\, Skid Row\, and the Saturday Night Live Band.  (None of those were a joke.) \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nPurchasing a General Admission ticket does not guarantee a seat/table. Bar area seating is reserved on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \nAdditional reservations are not required if a table\, booth\, or banquette has been purchased via Ticketfly. \nReservations for the Captain’s Room (semi-private dining room) can be reserved for parties of 12-20 guests. For more info call 470-225-6162\, or email info@venkmans.com

SUMMARY:ILLin-N-CHILIn – the music of the Beastie Boys & the Red Hot Chili Peppers\, ILL Communication\, Behind The Sun
DESCRIPTION:ILLin-N-CHILIn – The Ultimate Tribute PARTY! Featuring the music of the Beastie Boys and the Red Hot Chili Peppers \nBorn in New Orleans but conceived in Atlanta\, it’s a collaboration that just HAD to happen. \nThe catalyst though was the legendary band 311. Every March these NOLA natives bring the music back to the home folks with “311 Days Bourbon Street Takeover”. Headlining two nights of music and debauchery\, 311 brings in the highest energy tribute acts they can find to carry the party on into the wee hours and thus they reached out to ATL for ILL Communication and Behind the Sun. \nRockin’ the best of the Beastie Boys and Red Hot Chili Peppers like only ILL Comm and BTS can\, playing back-to-back on consecutive nights was not only a perfectly spiced-up recipe for a party\, it was also a natural thang for the bands to team up on stage for a Big Finale… and Bourbon Street’s been bouncin’ ever since!\nNow the guys have taken this show out on the road\, but they haven’t forgotten the home folks in the ATL. Behind the Sun will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of RHCP’s seminal “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” album and ILL Comm will be rockin’ classic Beasties in their trademark non-stop throw-down. But the party ain’t done til the bands take the stage together for their mash-up Finale!\nILL Communication – Fronted by 3 of ATL’s most versatile performers\, ILL COMM  brings back the glory days and one-of-a-kind party vibe of Ad-Rock\, MCA and Mike D with their high energy tribute to the Beastie Boys. \nBehind the Sun – Touring with their new frontman\, who just happens to be a dead ringer for Anthony Kiedis\, and nailing the legendary musical chops of Flea\, Frusciante and Smith\, BTS has asserted themselves as the nation’s ultimate Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute act. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nPurchasing a General Admission ticket does not guarantee a seat/table. \nBar area seating is first-come\, first-serve. \nAdditional reservations are not required if a booth\, table\, or banquette has been purchased via Ticketfly. \nPLEASE NOTE: If earlier dinner reservations are made\, your seats are not guaranteed for the show. For instance\, reserving a table at 8:00pm and keeping it for a 10:00pm show is unlikely. The only way to guarantee a seat for the show is to purchase table\, booth or banquette tickets. \nReservations for the Captain’s Room (private dining room) can be reserved for parties of 12-20 guests. For more info call 470-225-6162. \nILL CommunicationILL Communication emerged from the Atlanta music scene in 2011.  Recognizing a need for high-energy\, extremely authentic performances of Beastie Boys favorites\, ILL Communication blasted off on Christmas Day\, as a tribute to three white Jewish kids from Brooklyn\, and has continued to fight for your right to party ever since! They will excite you and reunite you to the world of the Beastie Boys.  Whether you are screaming your voice away to Sabotage or jamming to every beat of Paul Revere\, ILL Communication has one goal and that is to make sure that YOU feel the legendary passion and soul that will always be the Beastie Boys. \nILL Communication – it’s time to get ILL! \nBehind The SunBehind the Sun\, Red Hot Chili Pepper tribute band\, put on an amazing performance at the 40 Watt Club in Athens\, GA. It was an awesome experience working with them during the planning and execution of the benefit concert! People are still talking about how awesome and faithful they are to the original band. Their stage presence is fun and everyone attending the concert was rocking out while they played our favorite songs. I am always impressed with their musical abilities every time I see them perform. I recommend Behind the Sun for any occasion and I hope to work with them again in the future!
