| | GARRETT MOORE / ASHLEY ARRISON / JEFF ELLIS
Show time: 8:00 pm / Doors open: 6:30 pm
General admission advanced tickets: $10
General admission & meal combo: $24.75
At the door: $13
Table of 4 reserved seats: $50 |  | GARRETT MOORE is an Atlanta based, soulful tenored, singer/songwriter. A West Virginia native, Garrett recorded his debut CD "Fireseed" last year with Glenn Matullo producing (John Mayer, Shawn Mullins) and an all-star team of Atlanta musicians backing him. Equal parts Stevie Wonder and James Taylor, he'll have you stomping your feet and choking back tears in the same night.
Listen: |  | ASHLEY ARRISON melds modern LA music with old school Americana charm. Around the age of 9 she became singing partners with fellow Memphis Tennessean, Justin Timberlake. They played every talent show, hospital, and mall they could perform in, culminating with their audition for the New Mickey Mouse Club. Ashley and Justin were both chosen as finalists, but in the end, they told Ashley she was too tall for the part. Since her Mickey Mouse days, she has discovered her love for singer/songwriters Neil Finn, Patty Griffin, Jon Brion, and Radney Foster (with whom she is currently touring). She has acquired notable credits singing backup vocals on albums by Lindsay Lohan and Badly Drawn Boy. Her debut EP "Talking Circles" is now available on iTunes.
Listen: |  | Huntington, W.Va., native JEFF ELLIS released his first solo album ("The Enemy") just before his Army Reserve unit was called to the Middle East in July of 2005. He returned from Kuwait and Iraq 18 months later with a supply of four-track recordings and journal entries, which he turned into his second solo album, "A Front Seat for the End of the World." Ellis has appeared on Mountain Stage, been a featured artist on National Public Radio, and most recently, was one of five co-winners in the 2008 Newsong international songwriting contest. Ellis' third solo release, "Covering the Distance," was released in October of 2008, and was produced by Eddie Ashworth (Sublime, Pennywise).

Joy has achieved much success in the contemporary Christian genre--earning over 11 Dove nominations (the genre's equivalent to the Grammy's) and has been honored with an ASCAP award for her songwriting.
Listen: |  | MATTHEW KAHLER is a one-of-a-kind performer, and a long-time friend of the Attic, with an intense style that's part storyteller, part guitarist, part percussionist, and part comedian. His performances are always entertaining.
Listen: |  | Atlanta's REBECCA LOEBE is a young, talented, Berklee-trained singer- songwriter who has been playing the Attic stage with her poetic and quirky folk songs since she was 15.
