FREE EARLY SHOW - Spoon Fed Radio Hits Acoustic Style by Michael Magno
2018-12-28 18:30 - 19:45 (America/New_York)
Please join us the The V for an acoustic evening of radio hits with Michael Magno. Reservations available at Venkmans.com.
Magno is a Florida native who transplanted to Atlanta in the late 90’s. He had already
established himself as a professional touring musician before landing onto the Atlanta music
scene. With an undeniable voice, Magno brought his style of soulful pop songwriting and an
extensive coverlist that allowed him to work immediately in the Atlanta market. He quickly
became an asset in various music circles, supporting many locals and lending his talents as a
utility sideman on keyboards, guitars and backing vocals. At present, Magno is splitting time
between several projects: keyboardist and tour manager for Brian Collins Band, singer for the
Atlanta-based rock group the Villains, and his own self-titled project Magno.

Bottomless Mimosa Brunch w/Ansley Stewart and Friends
2018-12-23 12:30 - 14:30
Whether singing one of her originals for an intimate audience, or a Hall & Oates song for a wedding crowd, Atlanta-based singer Ansley Stewart has been turning heads everywhere she goes and is poised to turn many more. Until recently, she was a part-time musician and a full-time academic advisor for The University of Georgia’s Music Business program in her hometown of Athens. She had been singing semi-professionally in her free time for over a decade but her love of music, her ambitions, and her voice were just too big for her old life to hold. The turning point from weekend warrior to full-time singer/songwriter came in 2015 and she isn’t looking back. A stack of original songs, a head full of influences like Aretha Franklin, Susan Tedeschi and Bonnie Raitt (“no shrinking violets”), and hundreds of donations to a successful Kickstarter campaign have culminated in the completion of her first record and CD release in March.
Although singing is not new to Ansley, the desire to write her own songs is a recent development. “It’s all pretty personal right now,” she says. “There are some really big stories and moments in my life that I feel like I need to get out through songwriting. But I still want to make it universal enough that someone else could say ‘Wow, I’ve been through that’ or ‘Damn, that’s catchy as hell.’”
Ansley had been involved in music since her late teens, singing in cover bands and doing session work for her friends’ original projects. She loved making music and felt an urge to do more, but was in the middle of a secure career and was hesitant to change course. In 2014, the Atlanta-based Emerald Empire Band began throwing gigs her way. The Emerald crew was taken by her savvy professionalism, positivity to spare, and voice to be reckoned with, and they soon began imploring her to move to Atlanta. Life in Athens wasn’t bad for Ansley; she had a good job and owned a house. But she knew music was her greatest joy and on her 30th birthday, made the decision to follow that path. She quit her job, sold her house, moved to Atlanta, and has been singing nonstop ever since.
The career change has resulted in a happier Ansley than ever before. The music she makes every day and especially the people she makes it with are fulfilling her in ways she only dreamed of. In addition to finding her voice as an original artist and her footing as a professional, she has found a supportive, creative and generous musical family in her new home. “I’ve always wanted to be around creative people—in the treehouse, as I say—and that’s what Atlanta has been. I didn’t even have to knock on the door. It was just open and everyone inside was like ‘Yo girl, c’mon in! We got cake!’”

FREE EARLY SHOW: Christmas Jams with Wet Jeans
2018-12-21 18:00 - 19:15
With a pleasantly eclectic background and a mutual love for music, Wet Jeans has quite the innovative yet powerful sound for a band consisting of just three members. The band was formed accidentally in 2013 when Caleb Little (lead vocals/guitar) thought his acoustic performance would be lot less boring with a rhythm section. He was not wrong. An invitation to the stage was sent to Neal Colledge (bass/vocals) and Brian Hekman (drums/vocals) whom, before that night, had never met.
The three men had such a great time performing together and not being boring that they decided right there on that very stage in the small town of Canton, GA that their quest of aural endeavors was only beginning. Their collective love for pop-turned-rock cover songs and influence from the sounds of 90’s rock and Motown with dashes of classic blues and pop led the trio into writing their own material as well. And with the amalgamation of meaningful lyrics, catchy melodies, and driving rhythms of their originals blended with high-energy performances of their guilty-pleasure, mega-fun covers, Wet Jeans dares you to not have a good time.
