By Jhoni Jackson The kids I see roaming around downtown Decatur after the nearby high school’s end-of-day bell rings look hipper than most 20-somethings I know.

But DiFranco’s instrument […]
As the Atlanta/Athens music community starts packing their bags and loading their iPods for the roadtrip (or flights) to SXSW, a couple of us holding down the fort in Atlanta want to know (so we can live vicariously) how our friends prep for, and who they’re hoping to see at, SXSW 2010. The AMG SXSW ’10 […]
The Judies The Judies Slush Fund Records By Eileen Tilson Picture it: 1970s, Max’s Kansas City in NYC, Warhol and Patti Smith debating what qualifies as true art, Bowie making out with some young thing, and The Velvet Undergound and Nico collaborating on one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

By Jhoni Jackson; photo by Kathleen Valpey Though she typically plays with a band behind her (an exceptionally talented group which includes Little Tybee’s Josh Martin and Ryan Gregory of Book of Colors, to be specific), Adrienne McCann is the primary mastermind behind the craft she calls Adron.
