Best of Atlanta:
Smith’s Olde Bar After Dark, Critics
Americana always seems to fall through the cracks - too country for rock, too rock for country. But SMITH’S OLDE BAR is willing to take its chances booking Dale Watson, Jack Ingram, Allison Moorer, Stephen Bruton, Jim Lauderdale and other Americana staples. Few of these acts are well-known to mainstream audiences, but fans hip to them appreciate the opportunity to catch a gig - and Smith’s superior sound and vision lines consistently make the shows enjoyable. Now, if radio would just pay attention. “1578 Piedmont Ave. 404-875-1522. www.smithsoldebar.com.” More at
