Upcoming Events and ShowsRecommended Open Mics
We are fortunate to live in a city with many wonderful music spots, where great musical acts from all over the world to perform. We are often asked about cool upcoming shows, workshops, or simply what our favorite venues are. While we try to keep abreast of the music scene, many of our listed events are more guitar-oriented, so please let us know about your upcoming show, any event that isn't listed, or any discrepancies on our site. Below are lists of upcoming shows, workshops and ongoing meetings, some of our favorite venues, and open mics. Also, be sure to check our myspace page for events on the bulletin board. Many of our friends are great performers who need your support!!! www.myspace.com/maplestreetguitars
Fronteras at St. Pius High School Saturday, May 2, 2009 6PM (Lobby Opens at 5PM) For those of y'all who have a bit of Spanish flare, the Spring '09 Flamenco Expo is a show to see! Like many of the best things here in this country (and particularly the south), Flamenco is a unique and diverse blend of musical influences, particularly drawing from Spanish, Moorish, and Gypsy cultures. While we guitar nerds often delight in the flashy percussive nature of the Flamenco style, this music is, at its heart, dance music--the dancing is perhaps the biggest draw. So, haul out your castinets and join the crowd! Reserved seating: $20 adv./ $25 at the door; general admission children 12 and under: $10 adv./ $15 at the door, adults $15 adv. / $20 at the door. Tickets available at www.jaleole.com (404-277-1499). Fronteras contact 404-457-3775 Rod Michael and Keith Hicks Tuesdays at the Mood Lounge 10:30 - 1:00 AM Believe it or not, we Maple Street Guitars sales people occasionally take a break from selling guitars and play one, sometimes in public! Well if you haven't heard him play around the store, now's the time to come see Keith Hicks at the Mood Lounge, right here in Buckhead (only a block away from Maple Street Guitars). As an acoustic duo, Rod and Keith are sure to please the crowd with their high energy covers from the past and present--and, guys, they're not to shabby at drawing a crowd of ladies either! So if you're lookin for a great patio scene, or feelin the weight of the week on a Tuesday evening, come by the Mood Lounge this Spring and Summer for a drink and some familiar tunes. www.myspace.com/rodandkeith Mood Lounge: 3081 E. Shadowlawn Ave, Atlanta GA 30305

Beginning May 8, 2009, Liz and the Tomcats will be performing Friday nights at Daddy D'z BBQ on Memorial Drive, one of Atlanta's authentic blues bars, and a source for cold brew and tried and true southern BBQ (I love the rhyming). So, if come Friday you're hurtin' for entertainment that doesn't flicker, but flat out smokes, make the trek to Daddy D's on Memorial Drive and check out our friend Liz, you won't regret it!
