I can speak for a lot of folks whose lives have been touched greatly by the music of BGUG and the musicians involved.

The musicians who will be present as Blueground Undergrass on Sunday, December 21 include the following:
Rev. Jeff Mosier
Johnny Mosier
David Blackmon

Come on out Thursday night for a rockin’ evening of Southern-flavored funk n’ soul y’all! I have to say that Secondhand Swagger is one of my favorite new bands in the Atlanta area, and they are sure to bring the house down! Led by frontwoman Abby Wren, this group is gonna bring IT and will have you gettin’ down!
Their counterparts, Major & The Monbacks, are from Norfolk, VA, and are widely recognized as one of the top old-school style soul bands in the region. This is their first time in the ATL so come on out and see for yourselves why there is such a stir about them up around the Virginia Beach area! You’re gonna be hearing some mighty fine horns this night. Awwwwww yeah!
ADVANCE TICKETS are available for the Holiday Hoot! Please consider purchasing yours ahead of time. It truly helps an event out if you’re able and willing 😁. Tickets are $25 ADV ($30 door), and proceeds from the concert and silent auction will benefit Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.
ALSO, TDawg Presents is excited to announce that legendary fiddler David Blackmon (Widespread Panic, Blueground Undergrass) and mandolinist Bobby Miller have been added to the Holiday Hootenanny lineup! There will be only a couple of more additions, but this year’s edition promises to blow the proverbial roof off Terminal West!
PLEASE let your friends and family know – Spread the word far and wide! Enjoy the video below of Papa Mali performing two years ago at the Holiday Hootenanny!
TDawg Presents is thrilled to announce the initial lineup for the 4th edition of Atlanta’s Holiday Hootenanny! There will be just a handful of musicians added to this list in the next month or so, so stay tuned! This concert is for a great cause in Atlanta Habitat for Humanity. I personally have become more involved with Atlanta Habitat over the last few years indirectly through my catering work and very much feel the difference that this wonderful organization and the people involved make in a family’s life.
Stay tuned for more information coming soon – PLEASE spread the good word, round up your friends and family for an absolutely incredible evening of music and fun, and all the while supporting Atlanta Habitat! HOOT HOOT!!
Well, that Hootenanny sure was fun wasn’t it!? Funny how Hoots occur, without fail, exactly when you really need that energy the most. I know that I’m certainly still feeling the fresh grooves that WE created at the Hootenanny! The Hootenanny movement is unique in that it combines that festivaaal vibe with the feeling that you’re at an exclusive private party, and it works for everyone involved. HOOOOOTENANNY!!!

My how time flies! Here we are the week of the 17th edition of TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny y’all! The temperature will be just right for a big ol’ bonfire, and the music will keep you moving all day and all night!
If you’ve not had a chance yet to catch Col. Bruce Hampton, mark my words you’re in for a special treat. His shows seem to always fit the moment, never a weak link. The Zambi master will bring it on Saturday evening, you know that for certain. Below is a fun clip from last year’s 3rd Annual Atlanta’s Holiday Hootenanny in December (mark your calendars for SUN DEC 21 and the 4th Annual Holiday Hoot!)
Freddy’s Finest has evolved into quite the funk/jazz ensemble that can really tear it up. A perfect for the 6:30pm set on the Grateful Fred Stage, and an ideal band to directly precede Col. Bruce! Check out their Lettuce jam from the Moonshadow Tavern not too long ago. Let’s just say it’s a very involved jam where each participating musician brings it!
