MARK IT: Kickin' A.S.S. - Athens Songwriter Showcase
I have an eclectic taste in music, but one of my favorite kinds of artists are singer/songwriters.The songwriters featured in this showcase are an established part of the Athens music scene. Fester Hagood, Ty Manning III, Betsy Franck, and Ken Will Morton are taking their talents to Decatur on July 20th.
For only $8, you get 4 solo sets (about 20 min. long) of each artist's performance, followed by a collaborative set where all 4 artists join together on stage and cover each other's original songs.
What an awesome way to experience intimately the creative talents of these singer/songwriters! Better mark your calendars! The showcase is less than a month away! No doubt, it will certainly...kick ass! ;-)

FEST: Hijacking Music Festival - 07.17 in ATL
I found out about this festival from Parker Newell, the guitarist for the band Odist - an AWESOME band who are playing at the event. Odist is pretty bad-ass to catch live. I know. I've been to their shows in Athens! The music is intense, and watching them play LIVE only intensifies that. I'm not very familiar with all the other bands playing, but heck...$10 for all of these performers? Sounds like a deal to me. Don't miss it!The lineup consists of:
- Arablak
- Jungol
- ODIST
- Miles From Pangea
- Pschedubasaurus REX
- The Humboldt Trio
- Bodegas Brovas
- DT of Clan Destined
- Sneaky Hand
- Before the Solstice
- Holy Ghost
- Paperwork
- Relapse
- Tricil
- Uprise Dub
