Music newsletter

It's a cold week in the peach state, which means there's no better time to catch some live tunes- inside! There are six free shows this week, Little Tybee has an album release at the Goat Farm, and Devin has a mixtape release over at Apache Cafe. Speaking of mixtapes, it's time for another installation of Mixtape Atlas' Welcome 2 Atlanta, and this mixtape release party will be at the Masquerade. This show, as well as many for the coming months, had to be rescheduled due to the closing of Little Five Points' beloved Five Spot. Check their calendar page often to see if your favorite acts have been moved to a new venue. Lastly, make sure to visit the Spot one last time on Monday to say goodbye, with the help of The L5P Rock Star Orchestra (You loved them in Dracula!) and Ledfoot Messiah. We would like to give a special shout out to Ally Stevens, talent buyer for the Five Spot for working so hard and so quickly to get everyone rescheduled. Now take a look at your complete line up for the week:
