We’ve almost made it to the weekend, Atlanta! Reward yourself with a night out at one of the many concerts happening tonight!
Jared & Amber at Eddie’s Attic
Jared & Amber are in love with each other and with music. So naturally, they started making music together. They play their own brand of jazzy-gypsy-Americana, and look to stand out from other rootsy duos with their soaring harmonies and intricate arrangements. Along for the ride are Audrey & Autumn (the twins!), their adorable puppy Ramona, a lot of coffee, and some fantastic family and friends.
Old Crow Medicine Show at The Classic Center
The band got its’ start busking on street corners in New York state and up through Canada, winning audiences along the way with their boundless energy and spirit. They eventually found themselves in Boone, North Carolina where they caught the attention of folk icon Doc Watson while playing in front of a pharmacy. He immediately invited the band to play at his MerleFest, helping to launch their career. Shortly thereafter the band relocated to Nashville for a residency at the Grand Ole Opry, where they entertained the crowd between shows. It’s been nearly fifteen years since these humble beginnings, and the band has gone on to tour the world, sell over 800,000 albums, become frequent guests on A Prairie Home Companion, and play renowned festivals like Bonnaroo, Coachella, and the Newport Folk Festival.
Ticket prices are as follows: Pit and Orchestra Seating: $39.50; Parterre, Loge and Mezzanine (Rows A-H): $34.50; Mezzanine (Rows J-M): $29.50. Doors open at 7pm.
Dustin Wong and Takako Minekawa at The EARL

Blonde Redhead w/ People Get Ready at Terminal West
Blonde Redhead has always been a band that innovates with each album. They challenge themselves with each recording situation, and the results have been stunning every time. Their music is always inspired by the same emotions, but their tastes and ways they choose to execute those emotions are constantly evolving. It was the early conversations about how to make this record that led the band to work with the up and coming Swedish duo Van Rivers and The Subliminal Kid (Henrik von Sivers and Peder Mannerfelt) as producers on the record. Drew Brown (Radiohead, Beck) also came on board to record the tracks that would eventually be used in Stockholm.
Tickets are $18-20. Doors open at 7pm.
