Atlanta has more independent music festivals than Austin and New York City combined. Ever since the days of the Jack The Rapper convention Atlanta has kept their doors open to emerging artists and trends. There’s a reason why terrestrial radio plays mostly music broken from Atlanta (Ca$h Out?!?) and that’s because Atlanta stays on their grind for up and coming talent.
This weekend will be the setting for the Atlanta Independent Music Festival. This is the festival where artists like Yelawolf, B.o.B., J-Davey and Donnis caught their launching pad buzz from. I’m prA’Li gonna meet up with Maurice Garland for the first time at this event.
I’m scheduled to be back in Atlanta in October for the A3C Music Festival. Good thing for me mom’s basement is in Marietta. It’s like I’m already home when my plane lands at Hartsfield.
