Homedrone: Interview with Dave Rawlings, Playing Georgia Theatre Tuesday

By Dan Mistich | November 26, 2013 10:20am

There’s something incredibly disarming about Nashville songwriter and producer Dave Rawlings. Having existed as a sideman for the better part of the past two decades for several artists with ties to the alt-country world, Rawlings comes off as slightly uninterested in performing under the spotlight. But given his extensive resume and repetoire, the crowd at the Georgia Theatre Tuesday should be in for quite a treat.

Grub Notes: Hugh Acheson Signing Books at Avid Tonight

By Hillary Brown | November 22, 2013 11:33am

Surely, if you yourself don't like to cook, you at least know someone who does. I have found Hugh Acheson's A New Turn in the South to be among my favorite cookbooks, not so much because of its lovely photography (courtesy of Rinne Allen) and committed localism, but because of its clear, direct recipes that, if followed, result in deliciousness.

Homedrone: Tonight in Athens: Television, Tera Melos

By Gabe Vodicka | November 7, 2013 3:31pm

To say that tonight's Television show at the Georgia Theatre is a big deal is an understatement. It's one of three U.S. appearances the legendary NYC rockers will make this year, the other two being a stop Tuesday in San Francisco—view the setlist from that show here—and another at Austin's Fun Fun Fun Fest.

This will be a special gig. Though they're absent one key cog in founding guitarist Richard Lloyd, as you can see from the video below, these dudes are still quite capable of bringing the fire.

Homedrone: Nashville Folkie Todd Snider Plays Georgia Theatre Tonight

It would be a mistake to take Todd Snider too seriously. The folkster from East Nashville has made a career out of striking a balance between being reverent to the folk and country traditions where he apprenticed (with legends like Jerry Jeff Walker and John Prine, no less) and having a playful, "enjoy it while it lasts" attitude.

Snider says there are too many people in the music business that take themselves too seriously. "There are a ton of people in this line of work... that are not ready to be perceived as foolish. They're not ready to be embarrassed. They aren't ready to take their dick out," he says.

After the jump: "My job is to live as hard as I can and to risk early death."

Jel

Wowee, folks: there are some really righteous live-music options tonight, on the eve of All Hallow's Eve. Let's start at the Georgia Theatre—or, on its rooftop, to be exact—where Anticon co-founder/mainstay Jel, the man responsible for introducing the lo-fi/anti-fi/cloud-rap sound to the hip hop world, will headline. The openers are pretty great, too: Chicago MC Serengeti and Atlanta psych-rap crew The Difference Machine will perform.

Music and more after the jump.
