Bottomless Mimosa Brunch with Rodeo Twister
2020-03-14 12:30
Rodeo Twister play original rockabilly and honky-tonk music the way God intended it: without the use of them demon drums! But don’t worry your toes won’t tap or your hips won’t shake. The slap of the upright bass and the chugga-chugga of the rhythm guitar keep the beat just as good as the crack of snare – maybe even better. The three Twisters are veterans of Atlanta’s “Redneck Underground” roots music scene and have been members of so many “Best of Atlanta” lists they’ve lost count. Now all together for the first time, they’re bringing a huge crop of brand-new songs and choice covers plus a secret weapon – some of the sweetest two and three-part harmonies you’ve ever heard. And you can hear ‘em, too… without all that bangedy-bang of them demon drums!

The Breakfast Club
2020-03-13 21:30
The Breakfast Club® is the longest running, most recognized ’80’s tribute band in
the United States. Formed in 1993, the group was the first of it’s kind. The
mission was simple: create an entertainment group that embodied the enigmatic,
creative, and buoyant spirit of music and live performances of the original MTV
generation of the 1980’s. That mission remains today.
This is NOT some wig wearing, mall fashion version of an ‘80’s cover band, lip
syncing to tracks while pretending to play an unplugged guitar. This is real hair,
real 1980s clothes, real vocals, and real musical talent. The Breakfast Club® is
the real deal, performing live ‘80’s pop “better than the original artists” –
Wilmington Star News.
The guys of The Breakfast Club® have shared the stage with numerous music
legends, including but not limited to, Whitesnake, The Romantics, Poison,
Drivin’n’Cryin’, Hootie and The Blowfish, White Lion, The Smithereens, Edwin
McCain, and many others.
The Breakfast Club® has had the privilege of performing for rockstars, movie
stars, many of America’s top corporations, NASCAR legends, and millions of the
most amazing, fervent fans any band could ever hope for.

Friday Jr. at Venkman's
2020-03-08 18:00
Kai Martin has been singing and writing since she was little, heavily influenced by her parents and classic musicians like Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack. She has performed in school choirs and various cover bands, and has been a featured house music vocalist on projects with Solu Music and Ananda Project. She had the distinct honor of performing with ATL Collective at Venkman’s last September, and enjoys regular “guest appearances” at Ms. Miller’s #IheARTandSOUL shows at Kat’s Cafe. Kai’s debut solo EP ‘All My Life’ is available on CD and all digital platforms.
Darlene cut her teeth on piano stools and church pews in NE Mississippi, otherwise known as Elvis country. Her earliest influences were southern gospel quartets and country artists such as Merle Haggard, and she was later drawn toward the sounds of traditional and contemporary gospel, jazz, and blues. Despite holding a degree in piano and voice performance, she prefers to learn everything by ear. She is credited for playing piano on three albums, and is excited to play publicly again after many years away from music.
Jenny remembers well that fateful night at the Chinese restaurant in Lexington, South Carolina, when she consulted a fortune cookie for advice on whether to join the 5th grade band or orchestra. The cookie lied, but she made a solid choice, and her love of the viola stuck. Jenny played classical music dutifully until college, when she started venturing out into folk music and wearing really bad hippie clothes. Once she hit the Athens music scene, all bets were off, and she had a spectacular time deciphering a great many new and different things you can do with music, courtesy of playing with such cool cats as Flash to Bang Time, Audition with Max Reinhardt, and The Green Hornets. Friday JR is Jenny’s first gig where she gets to sing a lot.

Bottomless Mimosa Brunch with Dave Potter Trio
2020-03-08 12:00
Dave Potter is quickly becoming known as a formidable musician. He has performed with many well-known jazz artists and recorded 3 albums with Jason Marsalis. Following his graduation from Florida State University in 2005, he was chosen from a national pool of applicants to be a member of the Louis Armstrong Quintet at the University of New Orleans. Unfortunately, the tragedy of hurricane Katrina temporarily ended his hopes for a career in Louisiana. In the spring of 2006, Dave was awarded a full scholarship to the prestigious Julliard Jazz Program in New York City. However, after several days of intense meditation he declined the offer and returned to Florida State University, where he received his Master’s Degree in the winter of 2008 after further collaboration with his mentor Marcus Roberts. In 2010, Potter was featured in a novel entitled “The New Face of Jazz” about the younger generation of Jazz musicians making an impact in the current scene. Dave is now located in Atlanta where he maintains a busy teaching and performing schedule while also touring the globe as a member of The Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet.

Jerome Newton and the Band Who Fell to Earth play the Songs of Bowie
2020-03-07 21:30
With a name that’s an allusion to Bowie’s iconic role in The Man Who Fell to Earth, Jerome Newton and the Band Who Fell to Earth proudly claim their reputation as “the Bowie tribute for Bowie lovers”. They play music from his entire career – the hits and the deep cuts – with reverence and energy. They don’t try to “imitate” a particular phase – even Bowie himself brought a new persona to stage almost every year. Instead, they bring their own approach to the material – never straying far from the source, but never coming off as mere imitators either. Their music, their look, their lively stage show, all combine to create a memorable experience. Come see for yourself!
In 1978, Bowie “discovered” Devo and was instrumental in getting them a recoding contract. So it’s fitting to have Devomatix, Atlanta’s premier Devo tribute, as the opening act. Devomatix exists for one reason: to pay tribute to the iconic robotic-punk group from Akron. Since their formation in 2014, Devomatix have been performing throughout the Atlanta area, including participating in the Little Five Points Halloween Parade, and even being joined on stage by Devo founding member Gerry Casale for the 2015 DEVOtional convention.

Lauren Morrow at Venkman's
2020-03-06 21:30
“Top 10 Country Artists to Watch in 2020.” – Paste Magazine
“With her self-titled solo EP, Morrow has struck out on her own, debuting four songs that showcase her tender songwriting and inward-looking artistic vision.” – Rolling Stone
“Lauren Morrow—known best as one-half of Nashville-by-way-of-Atlanta duo Whiskey Gentry—puts lyrical fire behind a classic country sound on her four-song solo debut.” – Garden & Gun
“As she starts a new era of her career, she needs something to advantageously represent herself that isn’t The Whiskey Gentry, and this is what she accomplishes with these four songs. But most importantly, these four songs are really good.” – Saving Country Music
After over a decade as the centerpiece of popular Americana band The Whiskey Gentry, Lauren Morrow packed her bags, her dogs, her cats, and husband and moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a solo artist and grow her craft as a songwriter and performer. Within months, she released her first solo EP to widespread critical acclaim and landed on many Best of 2018 year ends lists from Rolling Stone to Garden & Gun, quickly launching her already budding career and sending it into hyperdrive. Over the next year, Morrow filmed an episode for PBS’ Bluegrass Underground and toured the US playing festivals such as Pickathon and Bristol Rhythm & Roots to name a few. In November 2019, Morrow began recording her first solo, full-length album at the legendary Nashville studio, Sound Emporium. Set to release in 2020, Morrow’s new album showcases her flawless vocals and intricate songwriting, but also her willingness to take risks — an edge that makes her stand out from the Nashville norm. Whether she’s singing an alternative/indie rock banger, a classic-country cooner, or a traditional lovesick ballad, there’s a unique impression she leaves that lingers and is unlike anything you’ve heard before.
