I had never seen The B-52s live, so what better time than a benefit for the Georgia Theatre and what better place than in their hometown of Athens, Ga.? The 35-year old band played the Classic Center and obviously sold…

From Saarbrucken to Tampere: Black Tusk launches European tour
I write a lot about bands coming to Savannah, but I’ll try to say more in future posts about bands traveling from Savannah. I don’t know if any Savannah band has been traveling as much in recent years as Black…
The Red River, Dare Dukes, General O, KidSyc@Brandywine playing this weekend
It’s an especially interesting weekend for music in Savannah, and it sure would be great to see some new faces out supporting some impressive bands. Tonight (Thursday) at Tantra on Broughton Street, KidSyc@Brandywine will be performing sometime after 10 p.m.…
