Black Tusk, Cray Bags, and Lies in Stone at Sulfur Studios – photos

Black Tusk only plays hometown shows a couple of times a year, and you never know what’s going to happen — or who’s going to show up. Actually, there’s one thing you know will happen: Andrew, James, and Corey will…

Chrome Pony, Wet Socks, and Garden Giant at The Jinx – photos

I had Chrome Pony on my list for this year’s Savannah Stopover, but I managed to miss their set at Congress Street Social Club, so I was thrilled that the Nashville-based band was booked again by the folks at MusicFile…

Wreckless Eric at Congress Street Social Club

So, an odd combination, right? Wreckless Eric at Congress Street Social Club on a Sunday afternoon? You probably know Wreckless Eric’s “Whole Wild World” — a big hit single from almost 40 years ago — but Eric Goulden isn’t touring…

a quick trip for day 2 of Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta – photos

hissing lawns got press credentials for Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Music Fest in both 2014 and 2015 — you can find all of our posts here — but this year our press request was turned down. After that rejection and after…
