Happy Holidays Collectives!
Too soon? It’s never too soon when you’re bringing the funk back into the season. Can we get an amen? On Friday December 16th, ATL Collective is decking the halls of Terminal West and bringing back James Brown’s Funky Christmas + other Funky JB hits. We’ve got a lineup more solid that the reindeers: Bernard Purdie, Fred Wesley, Jennifer Hartswick, Duane Trucks, Col. Bruce Hampton, Marshall Ruffin, Ruby Velle + so many more! So get your tickets for you and your secret Santa. Showtime: 8:00, doors at 7:00.
The ATL Collective creates musical events that seek to replicate the intimate experience of listening to an album for the first time, going track by track, reading through the liner notes and turning over the record, truly enjoying the music for what it is, without distractions. Each month, the ATL Collective picks a classic album and collectively covers the track list in sequence – many times completing the event with themed refreshments for attendees. Previous albums have included The Beatles’ Abbey Road, The Clash’s London Calling, Neil Young’s Harvest Moon, Van Morrison’s Tupelo Honey and the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, to name a few.
