Howdy y'all ~

I hope everyone is having a grand fall.  Twas a great time had by all at the annual Chomp & Stomp Chili Cookoff & Festival in Cabbagetown ATL this past weekend!  We in Atlanta are blessed with so many wonderful and talented musicians in the rootsy Americana sector of life, and that feeling continued into the night with the unofficial official AfterParty at the Five Spot, where Packway Handle Band, Smokey's Farmland Band & Incorrigible String Band tore it up!

Speaking of the Five Spot, we have two excellent concerts there this week.  If you have an opportunity to escape on a Thursday night, I can't recommend enough going to see Papa Mali in concert.  As Guitar Player Magazine puts it, "The Man is way more than funky.  He's a musical shaman."  That is the truth!

Saturday night brings you a pair of singer/songrwriters in Michael Tolcher & Holly Howell.  With some common friends between them, expect some spontaneous interaction between these two stellar performers.
