SUMMARY:Yacht Rock Revue (UNPLUGGED) Venkman's Birthday Month Kick-Off!
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sultans of Smooth\, acoustic-style\, for an evening of food\, frolicking and fresh ’70s and ’80s hits. Venkman’s turns 2 in October and to celebrate we’re bringing you special shows\, family fun and $2 Ecto Coolers all month long.  \nYou’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.  \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.)  \nThe Yacht Rock Revue™ has packed out shows at historic venues including the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta\, the Knitting Factory in New York City\, Athens’ famed Georgia Theatre\, Washington DC’s State Theatre\, and Nashville’s Mercy Lounge. They played at the finish line of the Peachtree Road Race for 50\,000+ two years running; played on Turner Field for 30\,000 fans on July 4; and sang the National Anthem at Braves Manager Bobby Cox’s last game.  \nThe Yacht Rock Revue™ goes beyond the smooth to perform under many aliases:  Please PleaseRock Me (Beatles)\, Reagan Rock (Smooth ’80s) Uno Dos Tres Catorce (U2)\, Dazed and Confused (’70s Stoner Rock)\, Rock Fight (Led Zeppelin vs. the Who\, Tom Petty vs. Fleetwood Mac\, etc.) and so forth.   \nYacht Rock Revue™ also performs many classic albums in their entirety\, including Michael Jackson’s Thriller\, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon\, Prince’s Purple Rain\, the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band\, XTC’s Black Sea\, and Led Zeppelin IV.

SUMMARY:Freekbass
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Cincinnati\, OH\, Freekbass was an only child who initially wanted to be a magician. He later developed his own obsession for cartoon superheroes and comic books\, relating to the underlying themes.\nLiving in Cincinnati exposed Freekbass to genres of music he may have missed otherwise. While most kids were listening to Nirvana and Green Day\, he connected with the bottom-heavy sounds coming out of the boom boxes like Zapp and Midnight Star. While working in a music shop to pay off his first electric bass he had in lay-away\, he began to study the classics of Larry Graham\, Sly Stone\, Stevie Wonder\, Parliament and Bootsy with a bass in one hand\, and an MPC2000 in the other. \nFreekbass has released six full-length CDs\, including “Concentrate” with guests Bootsy Collins\, DJ Spooky\, Adam Deitch\, and Steve Molitz\, and “Junkyard Waltz” which includes guest appearances by Phish bassist Mike Gordon\, guitarist Buckethead\, keyboard wizard from P-Funk/Talking Heads Bernie Worrell\, and is produced by funk legend Bootsy Collins.

In 2010 Freekbass connected with DJ Logic\, and Particle keyboardist Steve Molitz to form the funktronica trio\, Headtronics.  \nGoing into 2015 Freek has a lot of things on the table. He just released his next album \, “Everybody’s Feelin’ Real”\, which is produced by Duane Lundy (My Morning Jacket’s Jim James/Ben Sollee) and includes P-Funk/Rubberband keyboardist Razor Sharp Johnson\, horn man Skerik\, and Trey Anastasio Band vocalist/trumpet Jennifer Hartswick . Also\, he was a part of this year’s London Bass Guitar Show in the UK giving a master class and performing. Plus he will be doing extensive touring with his mainstay funk group\, “Freekbass & The Bump Assembly” which also includes funk legend Razor Sharp Johnson on keys/synths and George Clinton & P-Funk alumni Rico Lewis on drums. And recently\, he signed with the esteemed label Ropeadope Records.

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:ATL Collective relives Portishead's Dummy
DESCRIPTION:LINE UP:\nVIVIAN\, Adron\, Baby Rose\, Daniel DeWitt\, Lance Seymour\, Luis Gonzalez\, Tim Friesen\, and Jason Collier. \nATL Collective’s got one of the cooler albums they’ve ever tackled coming up at Venkman’s at 10pm on October 7th: Portishead’s darkly sublime debut Dummy. It’s really an astonishing debut from a then-completely unknown band. And though the sound has been copied time and time again\, when Dummy was released in 1994\, Portishead’s trip hop sound\, complete with its soft synth pads\, crystal drum tone\, down beat tempos\, and smoke-infused vocals was totally new. Prepare yourself to be mesmerized from first to last note. Very special guests\, The Deer\, join the Collective to bring this album to life.  \nMore about ATL Collective:\nDiscover your new favorite Atlanta artists while singing your old favorite songs. ATL Collective creates live music events that seek to replicate the intimate experience of listening to an album for the first time\, going track by track\, reading through the liner notes and turning over the record\, truly enjoying the music for what it is\, without distractions. Each month\, ATL Collective picks a classic album and collectively covers the track list in sequence – many times completing the event with themed refreshments for attendees. Previous albums have included The Beatles’ Abbey Road\, The Clash’s London Calling\, Neil Young’s Harvest Moon\, Van Morrison’s Tupelo Honey and the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds\, to name a few. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nPurchasing a General Admission ticket does not guarantee a seat/table. \nAdditional reservations are not required if a table\, booth or banquette have been purchased via Ticketfly. \nPLEASE NOTE: If earlier dinner reservations are made\, your seats are not guaranteed for the show.

SUMMARY:Yacht Rock Revue performs Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense Album
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.

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.
