Summer Heat’s What’s Up
I remember when the Atlanta summer was something to fear, going outside and bearing the heat and sunshine. Well ol’ Mother Nature hasn’t kept up her end of the bargain to the benefit of all of our lawns and gardens. Things are bound to heat up though, and the coming weeks’ event schedule is no different. Let’s begin with this weekend where we’ll see Living Colour performing their classic Vivid from start to finish at the Variety Playhouse. Then Saturday, our good friends from the Georgia Soul Council celebrate their first LP (Thickens Upon Standing) as well as the moving on to the green pastures of Brooklyn by their keys player, Jeff Jeswald this Saturday at Elliott Street Pub. We’ll have ticket giveaways to both on tonight’s show, so tune in.
