Dear Cabbagetown residents — past and present — it’s that wonderful, special, glorious time of year again! The first Saturday of June is almost upon us! In other words, clear next weekend’s schedule, grab a drink (or three), and snag a bag of tasty chips... Get ready, once again, to enjoy Cabbagetown’s annual summertime event, complete with the usual mix of music, games, and friendly faces!

On Saturday, June 6th, starting at 12:00pm, we — as proud members of the Cabbagetown community — get the honor of being the VIPs at one of Atlanta’s longest-running traditions:

The Cabbagetown Reunion Day Festival!

This year’s gonna be a little different. As much we’d like to, we can’t ignore the current state of affairs. The health and safety of our neighborhood and its residents are paramount. So, for the first time ever, The Reunion is NOT going to be held on the streets and in the parks of Cabbagetown. (This means: no porch music, no Artists’ Market, and no crowding around the front door of Little’s, y’all. Sorry.)

Instead, the creative minds from CNIA and The Patch Works have come up with a groovy alternative — a solution that will bring the fun directly into your homes. We’re calling it:

The Cabbagetown Zoomin’ Reunion, 2020!

We’ve already got several talented musicians lined up to perform: Kim Ware, Ross Pead, John McNicholas, The Cabbagetown Racketeers, Jess and the Boys, the Absinthe-Minded Professors (to name a few).

And games. Who doesn’t like Bingo???

And different Zoom Rooms for special topics. Like, y’all can gab about your favorite street in Street Talk; or remember loved ones who’ve passed away in the Remembrance Room. Or if
you want to learn more about Cabbagetown history or perhaps even share your own story, y’all can hang out in the Mill History Room or the Interview Room.

Different can be fun, which is what this Zoomin’ Reunion will definitely be!

CANCELED - Atlanta, GA - The Masquerade (Puregetory) - The Yum Yum Tree, Strange Ranger & Peaer

Strange Ranger

Philadelphia-based indie rockers Strange Ranger spent their first six years between Montana and Oregon, operating under the name Sioux Falls. A series of EPs paved the road to their 2016 debut, a dramatic post-punk double LP called Rot Forever. Adopting their current name and heading east, they softened their sound somewhat on 2017’s more atmospheric Daymoon, then expanded both their membership and sonic palette for 2019’s Remembering the Rockets.

The group began as the high school project of guitarist Isaac Eiger and bassist Fred Nixon. Inspired by bands like Modest Mouse and Pixies, the two friends began shaping their melodic post-punk sound and playing gigs around their hometown of Bozeman, Montana. By 2012, they had self-released an EP and relocated to Portland, Oregon, where they recruited drummer Ben Scott. Once established, they knocked out another pair of EPs in 2013’s Big Krackel and 2014’s Lights Off for Danger before hooking up with Pittsburgh-based indie Broken World Media. With a new label in place, Sioux Falls spent 2015 wrapping up their debut album, Rot Forever, an expansive and edgy double album that saw release in early 2016.

After changing their name to Strange Ranger at the end of the year, they pared down again to the core duo of Eiger and Nixon and headed in a less aggressive direction, releasing the lusher and more textural bedroom pop album Daymoon in 2017. It marked their first release for the Tiny Engines label, which also handled their 2019 follow-up, Remembering the Rockets. By this point, the group had relocated to Philadelphia and expanded into a quartet with the addition of singer Fiona Woodman and drummer Nathan Tucker. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi


Peaer

Started as a solo project in 2014 with the home-recorded and self-released The Eyes Sink Into the Skull, Peaer has grown into a sturdy power trio consisting of Peter Katz (guitar, vocals), Thom Lombardi (bass, vocals), and Jeremy Kinney (drums) since releasing Peaer in 2016. After three years of touring and writing, the Brooklyn, NY based band released A Healthy Earth in the late summer of 2019. Over 11 tracks, the band explores concepts of love, dynamics of relationships, climate change, and anxieties both grand and intimate, all the while maintaining excruciating attention to detail coupled with a fluid and dynamic live show. Peaer has been featured in publications such as Pitchfork, The Fader, Stereogum, Post-Trash, among others.

Atlanta, GA - Park Tavern - 5th Annual WRFG Americana in the Park - The Good Graces

86266854_10157790426042295_6896521908804648960_o.jpg

On Sunday, March 1 WRFG’s Americana in the Park festival will celebrate its fifth great year at the Park Tavern in Piedmont Park.

Americana in the Park spotlights Atlanta and Georgia bands that play Americana music. What is Americana? It’s a broad mix of folk, acoustic blues, rockabilly, western swing, singer-songwriter, country rock, folk-rock, gospel, roots rock, and pretty much everything in between.

We have four wonderful musical acts for your consideration:

The Ormewoods -Claire Pearson and Don McCollister combine the best of their musical histories to make music that is touted as "sexy, folk, pop, country" by fans of their lush harmonies & infectious vibe.

Unknown Lyric – Acoustic guitarist Jeremiah Turner and violist Kevin Grayson have a mission: To make instrumental music cool again.

The Good Graces – Led by Kim Ware, the Good Graces are a Indi-Rock/America collective. Immersive Atlanta says fans of Kim’s songs “have always been delighted by her keen eye for subtle images and toe-tapping arrangements.”

Celtic Company - A new group formed especially for Americana in the Park that includes some members of the The Buddy O'Reilly Band.

We have a special non-musical guest: The Candler Park Water Ballet on Land. A land-lovers version of the Candler Park Water Ballet Company, a sparkling synchronized swimming team that “has performed for presidents, parents, punks and patrons of the arts.”

This year, Americana in the Park honors Sharon Wiggins. Sharon produced WRFG’s pioneering Peach Blossom (bluegrass) Festival through its 40-year run. A longtime WRFG volunteer, Sharon remains the driving force behind My Own House, our Sunday morning Americana music show.

Come rain or come shine, Americana in the Park will take place under the canopy at the Park Tavern in Piedmont Park on Sunday, March 1, 2020.

The doors will open at noon with music from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Tickets are $15.00 in advance via WRFG.ORG or $20.00 at the door. Kids under 12 get in free.

The Park Tavern is located at 500 10th Street Northeast, Atlanta 30309. That’s the corner of Piedmont Park at 10th Street and Monroe Drive.

Proceeds benefit WRFG 89.3 FM, your independent community radio station for progressive information and handpicked, quality music.

KIM WARE AND THE GOOD GRACES / MERCY BELL / MOM FRIEND

Kim Ware and The Good Graces Drummer-turned-songwriter Kim Ware started the Good Graces on a whim in 2006, after purchasing a beat up, old acoustic guitar she named Buzzy at the Lakewood Antiques Market in Atlanta. The songs quickly poured out of her, melodic stories of heartache and hope, set to three chords that she often didn’t know the name of. Since then, Kim and tGG have toured the east coast multiple times, paid musical visits to Texas, over to California, and performed at such festivals as 30A, NXNE, and LEAF, where Kim was a finalist in the NewSong Singer-Songwriter Competition in 2019. In 2015, Kim's song "Cold in California" caught the attention of the Indigo Girls, who invited tGG to support some midwest and southeast shows during their summer tour. Shortly thereafter, Kim began work on tGG's 4th full-length album, "Set Your Sights," which received accolades from the likes of No Depression and Noisey. The follow-up LP, "Prose and Consciousness," was released on October 11, 2019.

Shortly thereafter, Kim and friends began work on their 4th full-length,Set Your Sights. Released in conjunction with the Chapel Hill/Durham, NC-based boutique label PotLuck Foundation, Set Your Sights places Kim's heart-on-her-sleeve songwriting and earnest lyrical delivery at the forefront of an atmospheric indie-folk expedition, led by producer / guitarist Jonny Daly and supported by a long list of players from around the southeast. Kim recently wrapped up work on a follow-up LP, Prose and Consciousness, to be released in October 2019.

Virginia Plane

Virginia Plane is an indie rock outfit from Atlanta, GA. The band's 2017 release, Fair Weather, showcases the group's artistic range, expressive arrangements, and lush vocal harmonies.

Lead singer and songwriter Mary O. Harrison formed the band in 2010 with bassist/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Tracy Clark. After several years of playing with various collaborators and friends, they were joined in 2016 by drummer Wayne Pelletier and a few month's later by guitarist Tim Pelletier. 

Mary O. has been a prolific songwriter since 1999 when she formed Atlanta indie pop group Charm School (1999 - 2004). She released a solo record, Factory of Days, in 2006.

Tracy is bassist for local heroes The Preakness, and often performs with Chickens and Pigs as well as the Good Graces, a band hand-picked by the Indigo Girls to open a handful of their 2015 summer tour dates across the US. 

Wayne spent years in Atlanta Americana scene veterans Stovall. More recently, Wayne was a member of Bruce Joyner and Atomic Clock including playing drums on the 2014 release 'The Devil Is Beating His Wife' on Closer Records.

Tim is a Berklee College of Music graduate and audio engineer at Turner Studios. His career as a guitarist has taken him across the country as a member of independent bands in San Fransisco and Austin. Tim currently plays bass for one of Atlanta’s favorite Americana bands, The Wheelknockers.

Fair Weather was recorded/engineered by Tim Delaney at Electron Gardens in Avodale Estates, GA. 

The name Virginia Plane references the classic Roxy Music tune "Virginia Plain" with an aerodynamic twist. Mary O. and Tracy, along with founding members Govind Dixit (ex-Charm School), and McGregor Button (Russian Spy Camera) released a self-titled EP in 2011.ore info soon
