Funkalendar is What’s Up
Lot’s of good shows coming up in and around the A-town, as usual. Not that you hippy-hop heads need reminding, but the A3C is going on this weekend, and it’s kind of a big deal. On the funky tip however, here’s What’s Up with What’s Going Down:
- Martans – Northside Tavern – Fri – 10/7/11
- Etowah River Music Fest II (Vertigo Jazz Project, Uncle Joe’s Medicine Show, Georgia Soul Council, etc.) – Etowah River Campgrounds – Fri/Sat. 10/7/11-10/8/11
- Jason Allbright and Friends – The Nest – Sun 10/9/11 (and every Sunday)
- Dr. John (opening for Cyndi Lauper, ew!) – Cobb Energy Center – Wed 10/12/11
- Trombone Shorty – Center Stage – Sat. 10/15/11
- A Night In Treme (feat. Soul Rebels Brass Band, Kermit Ruffins & Glen David Andrews) – Rialto Center – Sat. 10/22/11
- Medeski, Martin, & Wood – Variety Playhouse – Thur. 11/10/11
- Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Orgone, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band – Masquerade – Thur. 11/10/11
- New Mastersounds – Masquerade – Fri. 11/11/11
- Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band – The Five Spot – Fri. 12/9/11
I haven’t personally been out to the Nest for a Sunday yet, and that is my bad but don’t let it be yours. It’s going to be a regular dealio for the forseeable future with Jason on guitar, joined by Kevin Scott (Soulphonics, Col. Bruce, Atl. Funk Society) on bass and Duane Trucks (Atl Funk Societey, among others) on drums and a host of other cats.
Git it while it’s hawt y’all, and don’t be caught in the wrong place and/or time!
