A while back we posted about the Georgia Theatre’s efforts to raise money to rebuild their classic Atlanta venue after a tragic fire.
Hometown heroes, the Zac Brown Band, are stepping up to the plate to help them raise money and awareness by playing a benefit gig this Fri, Oct 30th at the nearby Fox Theatre. Tickets are $100 a piece, but proceeds go directly to The Georgia Theatre Rehabilitation Fund.
While it’s obviously for a good cause, it’s also a good chance to catch a band at a smaller, more intimate venue than the larger arenas and amphitheatres they’re starting to play these days. Say what you will, “Toes” is catchy as hell. I dig.
