GUSTAFER YELLOWGOLD's MELLOW SENSATION concerts are a unique blend of live music and moving image. The minimally animated illustrations are accompanied by illustrator/songwriter, Morgan Taylor's, catchy and original story-songs for a truly different multimedia experience that is entrancing children, teens and adults. The character of Gustafer is a friendly creature who came to Earth from the sun and has an unusual magnetism for making friends with some of Earth's odder creatures. The New York Times said, "The show is a cross between Yellow Submarine and Dr. Seuss." Entertainment Weekly praised "...The most infectious original songs. It's like tapping into some pleasure center in the brain--both adult and kid...absurdly appealing." Grade: A+ New York Magazine named Morgan Taylor, "Best Kids' Performer," in its 2008 Best of New York issue. "Mint Green Bee" from Gustafer Yellowgold's Wide Wild World is the Session I Grand Prize Winner in the children's category of the John Lennon Songwriting Competion, while "The Bluebird Tree" from Gustafer Yellowgold's Have You Never Been Yellow? is also a finalist.

There's something special about THE FAREWELL DRIFTERS, a quintet composed of two acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle & upright bass. The Farewell Drifters have managed to project a sound that, according to their bio, "casually, but clearly" defies any preconceived notion based on their line up. Their shimmering harmonies are delicately placed over catchy melodies, and delivered with charmingly honest, yet pure vocals. Though their instrumentation might initially cause one to categorize their sound, The Farewell Drifters have managed to engage audiences from all walks of sound. From traditional music fans to rock lovers; this band has an energy strong enough to transcend genre lines. On their latest album, the Farewell Drifters drew influence from musical greats like Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles, Brian Wilson, and more to create a classically soulful and innovative sound. With a future that promises nothing short of success, it's safe to say this quintet won't be saying farewell any time soon! They are currently touring in support of their third album, Echo Boom, which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Bluegrass Chart.

If you’re like us, you prefer your music home grown, and not manufactured. Well, musicians don’t get much more home grown than HEATHER LUTTRELL, who grew up traveling the country with her father’s band. Music began as a vital part of her childhood; it eventually became an integral part of her soul. For nearly a decade now, Heather has dedicated her life to sowing her music among the masses, cultivating a dedicated following from the ground up. In 2002, she released the live solo album, Drive It Like You Stole It, and in 2005 she followed Drive… up with the full length studio album, Grits n’ Pulp. She toured extensively to support both releases, surrounding herself with a host of award-winning musicians (her rhythm section won the International Blues Challenge in 2003) and opening for the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band, The GA Satellites, The Zac Brown Band, Dave Mason, Johnette Napolitano, Shawn Mullins, Alana Davis, Tift Merritt, Jakob Dylan, Over the Rhine, Angie Aparo, Amos Lee, Ryan Adams, Elton John, The John Butler Trio, Delbert McClinton, Richard Thompson, Brandi Carlile, Bain Mattox, Melissa Ferrick, and Eyes Adrift. In 2005, Heather became a contestant on Rock Star: INXS, an international reality show where singers vied to become frontman (or frontwoman) for the seminal Australian-based rock and pop band. Heather made it to the top 15, but was eliminated in the middle rounds of the televised contest. While INXS’s music didn’t reflect the sentiment and sensibility of Heather’s own music, she chalks the it up as a life-changing learning experience. The show also exposed Heather to an even broader fan base – it was like fertilizer on an already fertile field. Most recently, Heather has thrown herself headlong into touring in support of her studio EP, Pomegranate, and another full length live recording, Live From the Kirkwood Public House. Some of the highlights of Heather’s latest flurry of touring have been her spots on the Lynyrd Skynyrd Cruise, the Kid Rock Cruise, and the Cayamo Cruise, where she played the same stage as Lyle Lovett, Patty Griffin, Darrell Scott, Buddy Miller, and The Indigo Girls.

Hardworking, energetic, mountain girl with a big voice…these could all describe NIKKI TALLEY. Raised in North Carolina and hailing from Asheville, it’s only fitting that her music is as eclectic as the state that boasts the mountains and the sea. Trying to pin down Nikki’s style, critics and reviewers alike have compared her to an early Liz Phair and Gillian Welch, but to leave the comparisons there would be doing a disservice to her fiery stage performance, hauntingly seductive and raw gritty lyrics, lifted by a voice that harkens back to the Appalachian roots from which she was born, and shores up on the edges of contemporary southern rock, country, blues, and jazz that has her audiences stomping and clapping for more. Nikki’s energy is as big as her voice and has taken her over all over the Southeast, playing such prestigious festivals as Magnolia Fest in Live Oak, FL to the Shakori Hills Festival in Pittsboro, NC. She’s had the pleasure of opening for such national acts as Edwin McCain and Susan Tedeschi. Nikki’s latest release, Beautiful Charmer, has definitely upped the ante production-wise and has a decidedly more country feel. For this project she had a lot of help from a number of collaborators including Grammy-winning alt-country icon Jim Lauderdale. It garnered the No. 7 spot in WNCW’s Top 20 Regional Releases of 2010 and No. 23 in Top 100 Releases.

When it comes to making great music, kindred spirits somehow seem to find each other and such is the case with EDENS EDGE. After Cherrill, Dean and Hannah joined to form Edens Edge, the group steadily gained popularity, touring extensively around the region and winning area talent competitions. An entry in the 2006 CMT/NSAI Songwriter’s Contest caught the attention of Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member, Kye Fleming, known for penning such classic hits as Barbara Mandrell’s “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool,” Sylvia’s “Nobody,” Ronnie Milsap’s “Smoky Mountain Rain.” “Kye contacted us and found out that we were 40 miles down the road from where she grew up in Fort Smith,” Hannah says of their Arkansas connection. They made the Nashville leap in 2007 and began working with Fleming to hone their unique sound. Working with producer, Mark Bright (Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts), the trio crafted a stellar debut that showcases their strengths as musicians as well as their compelling vocal blend. They also flex their muscles as songwriters, co-writing with such proven "hitmakers" as Vince Melamed, Catt Gravitt and Danny Myrick. Hannah co-wrote the trio’s first single, “Amen” drawing from her rural experiences. Music has taken the young members of Edens Edge on an intriguing journey and they are thankful for the ride.

For almost 20 years, every Monday night, we've been hosting a SONGWRITER'S OPEN MIC. On any given Monday, you'll get to hear some touring performing songwriters, some local touring songwriters home from the road, some local songwriters that don't tour, some up and comers working on their chops, some amateurs that will never tour, and sometimes, someone that you can look back and say I heard them when...but be guaranteed, it'll be an entertaining evening! And for $5, probably one of the greatest entertainment values in the land. For more information on playing at our Open Mic, visit the Artist Info page of our website.

ATL COLLECTIVE was established to foster the Atlanta music scene, encourage collaborations and cross-pollination and to create happenings that will inspire and entertain. In the process, we're restoring the faith in the album as art form and educating the people about some of the finest music out there. For each event, we pick a classic album and handpick some of the finest in local (and sometimes national) talent. We divvy up the songs and collectively cover the album in sequence. Often there's a food or beverage hook. Tonight, we are offering Rain Dog Hot Dogs - a classic NY style all beef (like Nathan's) on a split roll with spicy mustard, kraut, and diced onion on the side. Two for $5.00, sold as a basket with fries for $6.50.
