Concert Lineup

Sunday, April 13: 5 to 8 p.m. Bird City Revolutionaries blend reggae, dub, Afro-funk, Ethiopian jazz, and psychedelic grooves to create a sound as dynamic and diverse as their members. Formed in October 2011, the band brings together veteran musicians from some of Atlanta’s most beloved reggae, dub and jazz projects, resulting in a genre-defying musical experience.

Sunday, May 18: 5 to 8 p.m. Tire Fire: an electric thunderclap of burning bluegrass sound, witnessing a Tire Fire performance is like grabbing onto a live wire of musical energy. Tire Fire will take you on a journey from the foothills of the Appalachians to the heights of your imagination, featuring a fast-paced, psychedelic use of acoustic instrumentation alongside Americana and Newgrass songwriting.

Sunday, June 29 (rescheduled from June 8): 6 to 9 p.m. The Jesse Williams Band, recognized in Creative Loafing as one of Atlanta’s most notable women in the blues and in Guitar.com as a “young bluesbreaker making the blues fun again.” Count on a night with old-school, down-home blues, tinged with southern influences from this self-described mountain mama grounded in sultry blues and soul. 

Sunday, Sept. 14: 5 to 8 pm (Hispanic Heritage Month) COT Band, Atlanta’s favorite Latin band with a musical fusion of Caribbean Rhythms with elements of funk, pop and Brazilian beats, will be back to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month. Get ready to dance – salsa lessons included.

Sunday, Oct. 12: 5 to 8 pm The Bonaventure Quartet, an Atlanta-based acoustic jazz band combines gypsy jazz and American swing into original tunes. With the sultry, silky voice of former Lost Continentals frontwoman Amy Pike and the gypsy-jazz flavored guitar of Charles Williams, Bonaventure is a marvelous melting pot of Southern sass and the smokey jazz of Parisian cabarets.

Sunday, Nov. 9: 3:30 to 6:30 pm The Squirrelheads have been carrying the flag for New Orleans funk, boogie-woogie, and Mardi Gras music in Atlanta and North Georgia since 2001. Their signature sound – built on the funk, that second-line beat, and the undeniable Big Easy groove – creates unforgettable nights at clubs, festivals, and private events alike. The Squirrelheads bring authentic New Orleans energy every time they take the stage. 

Music will begin an hour after the event's start time.
