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.

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!!!

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!
