SHAKY KNEES 2024
The mass of humanity crowding the mainstage proves Shaky Knees has become a major contender in the music festival competition around the country.
ANTMUSIC in the ATL
Asking his fans to, “Unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor,” Ant was clearly a beneficiary of lots of love and some serious cash flow at the merch table.
Madonna Ups Her Diva Status in Atlanta
Madge can be extolled for her longstanding support of the LGBTQ+ community. An entire act was dedicated to the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s with hundreds of floating pictures showcasing those affected by the virus.
Isbell is Saving the World (one show at a time)
Known for his outspoken views on politics and simply being a decent person, Isbell shined on “Save the World.” The song delves into the Uvalde school shooting and parents’ life mission to keep our children safe.
Shaw Evolves with False Corners
Imagine a songwriter pairing with four vocalists who bring their unique styles and personalities, creating a sort of Myers-Briggs personality types set of songs. This would be that.
Trizo 50 Celebrate Demo’s 50th
The band never really got off the ground outside of the small farming community of Norborne, Missouri about an hour east of Kansas City, but what a story DePugh weaves.
Gonzalez Smith Roll Up Solid Debut
“She’s My Girl” is a gem of a tune and definitely the antithesis of a DBT song, a prototypical, straightforward power pop gem, reminiscent of The Beatles’ “From Me To You.”
Strangers In A Strange Land Take Action
The band masters a 60s feel but succeeds in a 21st century sound, wonderfully produced. They simultaneously straddle the 20th and 21st centuries with no smoke or mirrors to be found.
Strangers In A Strange Land Drop Sharp New Single
The psychedelic popness on the single is evident and there are hooks aplenty. Make no mistake, this is no throwback sound, but a relevant 21st rock song.
The National Tour With Frankenstein
Berninger did acknowledge the band’s sadness as this was the final night touring with The Beths. He told fans, “We love The Beths and will miss touring with them.”
