folk, Americana, jazz, classical, and everything in between. Tunes

Our innaugural event found over 100 musical acts and approximately 4000 attendees in the warm May sun.
Performers engaged the audience with Rock, Jazz, Americana, Funk, Folk and Acoustic music.
We raised over $20,000 to go toward the day-to-day operations at one of Atlanta's most beautiful,
most storied, most treasured green resources, Historic Oakland Cemetery.
