I wrote some nice things about Revival Fest in Do this week, and I’ve already posted galleries to this blog with photos of the Cedric Burnside Project, Field Report, Whiskey Shivers, and Matrimony. So this post has some photos of…
Sins of Godless Men, Big Awesome, Jeff Two-Names and the Born Agains at The Jinx
A few years back, Rachel Raab (Raabstract) opened Studio 210, renting out studio space to artists, musicians, and makers & shakers looking to create, gather, and exhibit. Now defunct–the bulk of the Victory Drive space has since become the “new”…

The Queers at The Jinx – photos
The Queers came back through Savannah on Friday night, this time playing The Jinx. The club filled up for the show but wasn’t overflowing. Opening act SHEHEHE from Athens showed some great promise as they tore through their set —…
