Athens Americana 2011 Starts Tomorrow!

Yes, it’s that time of year again when guitar pickers and fiddlers and the like come out of the dusty woodwork and settle like oh so many dewdrops on Athens. I have a great fondness for our particular brand of Americana, seeing as how it provided me with my first writing assignments ever.

But you’d be hard pressed to find more talented songwriters in town, regardless of genre. Here there be storytellers and liquor bottles. Starting tomorrow and running through May 1st, Athens Americana hits the most comfortable venues in town. There’s lineups for Hendershots, Little Kings, and Flicker, all of which are perfect for sitting back in a comfy chair and letting the performer draw you into folk legends of heartache and happiness.

Here’s the lineup, full of pretty well known Athenian acts. Hope to see you there!
