SUMMARY:Atlanta Funk Society
DESCRIPTION:Atlanta Funk Society is a Funk band from Atlanta\, GA\, playing classic hits from the ’60s\, ’70s and ’80s\, including everything from “Superbad” by James Brown\, to “Whatcha Gonna Do For Me” by Chaka Kahn.  \nStarted in the summer of 2010\, the Atlanta Funk Society brought together a collection of some of the best musicians Atlanta had to offer. Founding members guitarist and vocalist Rob Lane (the Apostles) and bass player Kevin Scott (Col. Bruce Hampton\, and others too numerous to mention) wanted to fill the need for a hard hitting funk band playing classic hits from the 60’s\, 70’s and 80’s.  \nTheir first call was to Jonathan Lloyd(Cadillac Jones\, Lloyds Rocksteady Review)\, local trombone player and vocalist to put together the horn section which has included Deniz Felder\, Jason Collier\, Jon Marett (Willie Nelson\, Waylon Jennings\, OutKast\, Goodie Mob)\, Prof. Eric Fontaine (just about every great band in Atlanta)\, and Taylor Kennedy (Soulphonics\, Blair Crimmins). Next to join were guitarist Nick Johnson(Last Waltz Ensemble\, Pharoh Gummitt) and drummer Duane Trucks(Derek Trucks\, Pharoh Gummit) lending their unrivaled musicianship to the group. The keyboards were manned by Florida transplant and first call pianist Nick Rosen. Scotty Bryan (Cinetrope\, 3052 dub Collective) stepped up the bands’ vibe with the addition of percussion.  \nThe next critical piece was a female vocalist\, and after a long search\, Michelle Marshall came into the fold and showed what was up. The last piece was additional percussionist Yaya Brown to provide the perfect complement to Scotty Bryan and complete the driving rhythms of AFS. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nPurchasing a General Admission ticket does not guarantee a seat/table. Bar and patio area seating is first-come\, first-serve. \nAdditional reservations are not required if a booth\, banquette\, or communal seat has been purchased via Ticketfly. \nPLEASE NOTE: If earlier dinner reservations are made\, your seats are not guaranteed for the show. For example\, it is unlikely to keep a table reserved at 7:30pm for a 9:30pm show. \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.

SUMMARY:EARLY SHOW: Michael Magno
DESCRIPTION:Magno – derived from the Latin adjective magna\, meaning “of greatness”…
Somewhere in the definition\, Michael Magno inherited the drive to become a serious singer/songwriter. Spoon-fed his influences by radio-loving parents\, Michael wrote his first song at age 14 and never looked back. By today’s standards\, you can compare him to such contemporaries as Bruno Mars and OneRepublic\, with a smooth vocal reminiscent of Sting or Marvin Gaye. In 1998\, the Florida native transplanted to Atlanta and began performing his originals solo acoustic or with the his band\, MAGNO. He quickly gained popularity at such venues as Eddie’s Attic\, Smith’s Olde Bar and other music rooms around Atlanta. His sound is an organic blend of rock and soul\, with an undeniable pop sensibility. Drawing inspiration from coffee and 80’s radio\, Magno’s songs are a personal invite into familiarity. His songs convey broad takes on love and hope\, while letting his listeners embrace the lyrics in their own singularity. Live performances showcase Magno’s natural abilities: lucid vocals\, comfort on guitar and piano\, an alluring demeanor and boy-next-door smile. With every show\, Magno continues to draw a growing fan base\, validating his stride as a serious songwriter and performer. Find him on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram @mrmagnomusic \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:City Winery presents… DONNA THE BUFFALO
DESCRIPTION:Distinctive\, groove-heavy\, and danceable\, Donna the Buffalo is a band for the people \nOne of the most dynamic and determined bands continuously touring America for since 1989\, Donna the Buffalo has created a community environment at their shows through their distinctive\, groove-heavy\, and danceable music. Donna the Buffalo is a band for the people that is accessible\, positive\, and memorable. With roots in old time fiddle music that evolved into a soulful electric American mix infused with elements of cajun/ zydeco\, rock\, folk\, reggae\, and country\, Donna’s music often contains social and moral responsibility as core beliefs\, and they are just simply fun to get out and celebrate life with. \n“For the dizzying array of styles and genres with which they work\, Donna The Buffalo maintain a surprising level of consistency… over the course of their 25-year career\, they retain a sharp focus that has helped them create some truly lasting music…” writes Elmore. “Few groups are this comfortable as performers\, and even fewer would take as many risks.” \nDonna the Buffalo announced The Stampede: A tour to raise awareness to the inappropriate use of corporate money in politics. They’ve joined forces with Ben Cohen\, Co-Founder of Ben & Jerry’s\, who has started stamping slogans on currency in protest (stampstampede.org). “As a band\, we have made a long term commitment to join this burgeoning movement\,” says Jeb Puryear. “It is clear to us that we will never get significant government action on issues like healthcare\, student debt\, wall street banks\, the environment\, and corporate tax evasion until we outlaw legalized corporate bribery of our politicians.” \nDonna the Buffalo is Jeb Puryear (vocals\, electric guitar) and Tara Nevins (vocals\, guitar\, fiddle\, accordion\, scrubboard) joined by David McCracken (Hammond organ\, Honer Clavinet & piano)\, Kyle Spark (bass) and Mark Raudabaugh (drums). “It’s been really fun with this lineup\,” Puryear says. “You get to the point where you’re playing on a really high level\, things are clicking and it’s like turning on the key to a really good car. It just goes.” \n“You have to do just what you want to do\, and everyone likes different things\,” Nevins says. “Both Jeb and I come from this background of old-time fiddle music\, which is very natural\, very real\, very under-produced\, and all about coming from the gut—flying by the seat of your pants. So we have that in us\, too.” \nAll Music Guide says their most recent album\, Tonight\, Tomorrow and Yesterday (2013 Sugar Hill Records)\, “highlights everything this consistent band does\, and it has a warm\, live-sounding production… This is what 21st century Americana sounds like\, a little bit of this and that from anywhere wrapped up into a poignant\, jamming dance reel\, a place where the past and history meet easily in the immediate now and everybody feels like dancing.” \nDonna the Buffalo drew it’s original inspiration from a cherished part of the American heritage: the old-time music festivals of the south that drew entire towns and counties together. Not only was it playing music at these events\, it was the vibe and the togetherness that bonded the people that attended. \n“Those festivals were so explosive\, and the community and the feeling of people being with each other\, that’s the feeling we were shooting for in our music\,” Puryear says. “Donna the Buffalo is an extension of the joy we’ve found.” \nThis type of bond is what Donna the Buffalo’s fans\, self-titled The Herd\, connect to and why they travel around to see them at shows and festivals throughout the year\, including a family of GrassRoots Festivals that DtB started and is still the driving force behind. \n“It’s a great feeling to promote such a feeling of community\, like you’re really part of something that’s happening\, like a movement or a positive force…” Nevins says\, “All those people that come and follow you and you recognize them and you become friends with them — you’re all moving along for the same purpose. It is powerful. It’s very powerful\, actually.”
