Closing and Special Presentation
, , ach year.for nearly a decade now,
t f the businesspeople and citizens of
jr the Hot Corner Association have put
together a springtime festival to cel
ebrate the history of Athens' Hot Corner—the
early-20th-century epicenter of African-
American commerce and culture in downtown
Athens. The festival's musical lineup has
always favored gospel and R&B, though local
hip-hop has become more common there over
the years, and last year's event even included
indie rock. That progression towards variety
continues this year, both on Saturday's out
door stage and at Friday night's "Sound Byte"
concert inside the historic Morton Theater,
itself the most visible reminder of the Hot
Corner's original heyday. The Friday concert
features "poetry, spoken word and soul-
moving music meant to satiate the most par
ticular of tastes," according to the festival's
organizers, with acoustic neo-soul songstress
Kyshona Armstrong and singer-songwriter Kate
Morrissey alongside The Splitz Band's Motown
sound and a range of local R&B acts. Tickets
are $10 in advance and $12 at the door; call
706-613-3770 for more information.
Saturday's outdoor festival, which takes
place at the corner of Washington and Hull
streets downtown, is free and open to the
public, and as always will have plenty of food
available for purchase. It is followed by a
fashion show at the Morton; tickets for the
fashion show are also $10 in advance and $12
at the door.
