529 in Atlanta

Show started early and I missed Thalmus completely and I had thought I had showed up early 10pm!!! Sounds for Harm Reduction - is Deborah Hudson from local faves Art School Jocks. Guitar/Vox Accompanied by a drummer (sorry don't know his name). Wonderful quirky pop tunes. Lyrically and politically smart as fuck. She can probably teach us a thing or two. Need more people like her around. Finished her set by playing some music she had written on her phone but couldn't resist busting it out. Cuntry - folk punk ? Maybe.. acoustic guitar, violin and drums. These girls do not mess about. Cover of note: Martha Wainwright - “bloody mother fucking asshole” yes you read that correctly. The David Nance Group - are essentially The Ghosts (Simon’s back up band). Playing in the realm of rock and Americana. Cover of note: Merl Haggard’s “Silver Wings” - excellent Simon Joyner & The Ghosts - I'll fly away Atlanta bi pass and … new tunes .. VU cohen, Dylan … all come to mind on first impression. Loved the lap steel..
