Mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 20, 2017 for the 7th Annual Atlanta’s Holiday Hootenanny at Terminal West! The night is dedicated to the memory of good friend Col. Bruce Hampton, and we will pay tribute to the legacy and impact of Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks, too. I still find it remarkable that we lost these three musical giants in the span of just a few months. Also, for the fifth consecutive year, Atlanta Habitat for Humanity & ReStore will receive proceeds from the concert and associated silent auction. I am grateful for that continued relationship, and it’s such an essential part of our community.
Y’all this year’s edition is THE REAL DEAL. Let’s spread holiday cheers, support a great cause, and boogie til you drop! The lineup is as follows:
Jim Lauderdale
Larry Keel
Jeff Mosier
Count M’Butu
Johnny Knapp
Ralph Roddenbery
Joey “Papa J” Sommerville (trumpet)
Brian Lopes (saxophone)
Daniel Wytanis (trombone)
Matthew Williams (Pickled Holler)
Nick DiSebastian
Bill Fleming (pedal steel)
Kevin Thomas (keyboards)
Richie Jones (drums & percussion)
Gaurav Malhotra (drums & percussion)
Bobby Miller (mandolin)
Zebulon Bowles (Hot Buttered Rum)
