Recommendation Rating: 10
You Ought To Hear This love for artists covers many musicians, but Atlanta's own Childish Gambino is near the top of the list for all of us. We've seen him before in Atlanta, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Athens, and even at one of his mansion parties. The mix of Childish Gambino's lyrics, passion, live band, and presence make him on of the best hip hop artist to see live, especially in Atlanta.

This will definitely be one of the last chances to see the xx in an intimate venue.  Their stripped down shows in NYC have been drawing rave reviews and now they are taking that show on the road. The xx brings their minimalist awesomeness to little ole Athens, from England. This proves to be a great show!

This LA all smiles rock group makes it impossible to leave a venue not feeling good about the world. Their energy, high spirits and overall talents will leave you satisfied. We've caught the group a few times before including last year's Music Midtown

After the cancellation of the concert they were to play in support of Grouplove with Smallpools, MS MR is making the most of being in Atlanta! In my opinion the best band from the originally scheduled Tabernacle show, we brought many of you your first glimpse at this duo nearly a year and a half ago.

Variety Playhouse is a perfect venue to catch this newgrass band at. Railroad Earth always seems to play at VP and this time you have TWO chances to catch them.

This is a collection of Atlanta/Athens stand outs. Even if you cannot make it to The Earl to see these local bands than are garnering national attention, check them out on your own.

We're still waiting on twenty one pilots to grow on us, honestly. What better way to see them live. With an undercard of Hunter Hunted and NONONO that's enough of a reason to check out this show.

It seems like it has been some time since Ben Kweller has toured. The rarity makes it a little more inciting to get out and see him.

This is one of the shows that will fly under the radar for 90% of music lovers in Atlanta.  YOTHT_B literally stumbled into seeing the sounds a few years ago at the Masquerade.  Having gone to see their opener the Limousines YOTHT_B stuck around and was completely floored by what came next.  Insane amounts of energy and showwomanship make this a true diamond in the rough show.  Blondfire is also a wonderful opener, really a great combination for the price.

We're are super excited to check out this group of Korean-Americans bringing some of the best new folk music you will hear this year. If you haven't heard their latest self-titled album, do yourself a favor and give it a listen...You Ought To Hear It

A band that has really grown up in front of our eyes.  Attack on Memory is one of the top albums from the past few years and they put on an equally awesome show.
