Here’s What’s Funky, Atlanta
Spring appears to finally be arriving, no thanks to that lying groundhog, and plenty of great shows are on tap in the coming weeks. Local acts such as Ruby Velle and Noot d’ Noot, some bigger names like Quincy Jones and Shuggie Otis, and of course the cavalry of DJ’s such as Agent 45 and Cozy doing their regular things.
