Atlanta’s Lindsay Rakers Band makes folk rock music with the rough edges of alt country, the yearning soul of blues, and the wandering spirit of Americana. Pittsburgh native Rakers has been fronting bands since she was in high school... she moved southward for shorter winters, but she misses the rivers and bridges. Lindsay Rakers Band's contagious energy and broad appeal has gleaned comparisons ranging from Dave Matthews Band to Rilo Kiley to Sugarland. This speaks to the diversity of the members: an ex-metalhead, a Jersey punk, a former pop country star, a couple lovable indie nerds, and a second generation hippie. Their songs make good company on a drive, and their highly caffeinated shows draw you in and make you feel right at home. Gracing the mainstage at Dogwood Festival, Atlanta's premier folk rock arts festival in 2007 and 2009, and praised by music critics, Lindsay Rakers Band loves what they do and it shows. www.lindsayrakersband.com | Purchase Tickets Online | 866-468-3401 | Reserve Balcony

Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime with special guests Scotty Don't, Full Service
8:00pm
All Ages
The phenomenon known as Sublime, arguably the most energetic, original and uniquely eclectic band to emerge from any scene, anywhere, ended with the untimely death of lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Brad Nowell in May of 1996. But encompassing the sense of place and purpose long associated with Sublime’s music, Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime continues to channel the spirit of Sublime with a fury not felt for some time. What separates Badfish from other tribute bands is that they have replicated Sublime’s essence, developing a scene and dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven, mainstream acts. Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but as Badfish does! www.badfish.com | Purchase Tickets Online | 866-468-3401 | Reserve Balcony

Yeasayer
8:00pm
All Ages
Since the release of their critically acclaimed 2007 debut All Hour Cymbals, Yeasayer has been around the world and back again. While their first record was conceived in total artistic isolation, constant touring forced Yeasayer to finally engage with their contemporaries. Inspired by musicians hell-bent on sonic experimentation as well as those more comfortable in a pop context, Yeasayer find their domain spanning across the musical spectrum. Studied, road worn, and eager to begin phase two, Yeasayer retreated to upstate New York to begin work on their new album titled ODD BLOOD. If All Hour Cymbals was Yeasayer’s attempt at global and ambient cultural mash-up then ODD BLOOD takes place in an off-world colony sometime after the Singularity. Glimmering reverb haze is eschewed and replaced by a cavalcade of disorienting pitch effects and flickering ectoplasmic wisps. Instead of layered vocal harmonies the processed vocals congeal into blots and blobs of otherworldly chatter. www.yeasayer.net | Purchase Tickets Online | 866-468-3401 | Reserve Balcony
