Nashville duo Cherub headlined a packed show at the Georgia Theatre last week, along with openers Modern Measure and Daily Bread. All three acts were of the EDM persuasion, but featured softer, more relaxed tones than the headbanging types like Skrillex commonly found at large festivals.

Day One
Those who know many performers on a festival's lineup and have a full schedule planned will easily enjoy themselves, but the challenge is getting those who attend for one band or just the headliners to have a good time and discover new artists they enjoy. This year's Music Midtown was scheduled well in that, even if you chose to camp out near one stage all day, you could see a variety of talented artists with breaks of about an hour and a half in between.

Indie-folk collective The Head and the Heart headlined a two-night stand at Georgia Theatre last week, along with opener Savannah Conley. Both shows sold out well ahead of time, so, as expected, the venue was packed on Thursday evening. The crowd was energetic and lively even before the concert began, which would come to be a theme throughout.
