Time: 8PM, parking spots available beginning 7PM

Be sure to jump on this one-time show featuring two of my favorite acts in TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny archives, Strung Like A Horse and The Ain’t Sisters! This is going one of the higher-energy rockin’ Americana shows you’re going to witness in a long time. I guarantee it!

Strung Like A Horse has been on a tear through this pandemic stricken time we’ve found ourselves in for a while now, and they’re gonna help you out of it! Their latest release, Whoa!, is a true gem and has been lodged in the Americana Charts Top 40 for quite a while now. Their performances at past Hootenannies have been of the legendary sort, and I’m excited to continue our tradition together!

The Aint Sisters have transcended their origins as outlaw street performers to grace the stages of the Southeast and beyond with their unique brand of funk-infused, blues-driven Indie Rock. 

The Ain’t Sisters are comprised of the power duo of Arrie Bozeman and Barb Carbon front the band blending tight harmonies and smart lyrics with soulful, booty-shakin’ melodies. Dynamic musicians and songwriters, they share an equal propensity for irony, humor, ferocity, and heart-on-sleeve authenticity. With the addition of Justin Boudreau on bass, The Aint Sisters have expanded the sonic experience, earning their place as one of Atlanta’s premier original acts.

Grizz Fest is truly going to be a musician’s celebration of Kevin Meaders the music man. There are quite a few surprises in store for this amazing event, so be sure to grab your tickets now to ensure your place!
Grapevine Talent has assembled an incredible lineup and folks continue to reach out who would like to be a part.

There have been quite a few passings that have occurred in many of my friends’ lives, some which have affected a few and some of which have affected many. To me, Grizz Fest is not only a celebration of the man they called Grizz, who touched so many and made so many special musical moments happen, but it is also an opportunity to remember our friends who have passed on from this realm.

Enjoy this classic footage (almost 90 minutes!) from 1993 at the Variety Playhouse. Derek Trucks Band OPENED for The Grapes and Derek sits in with them.

The 1st annual Grizz Fest is the brainchild of Grapevine Talent (Fortin, Davidson & Hurley) and talented musicians from all over the country who have been positively impacted by Robert Kevin Meaders (1961-2019), aka The Grizz.

Kevin was a key player in the L5P underground music scene in the ‘80s & ‘90’s, while playing in bands such as The KIND and YUR. He also was manager/sound man for The Grapes, and formed Odom/Meaders Music Business Management Company with Bunky Odom (The Allman Brothers Band). The roster included Derek Trucks, Col. Bruce Hampton, The Grapes, Dr. Dan, The Urban Shake Dancers, and many more. Grizz touched a whole new generation of Atlanta musicians by doing what he loved most – sound engineering, guiding careers & making tons of friends along the way.

Grizz Fest is a celebration of Kevin’s life, music, and friendships. Please come and help us celebrate the legendary life of Robert Kevin Meaders, aka Grizz.

This will be a very special concert for Grizz, and I want to send a heartfelt thanks to Terminal West for providing us a venue worthy of this jam! Enjoy the video featuring The Grapes from January 2014 at the Variety Playhouse. We’ll be feeling that wonderful healing energy in just about six weeks y’all!
