The Flagpole
Athens Music
Awards
Morton Theatre
The campaigning
time for just one thing:
their last Facebook
invites and
pleading tweets. The
non-nominated bands
have begrudgingly
stopped their bitch
ing and moaning. The votes have
#winning. *
Here's the best part: the fact that we live (or play) in a town that has enough high-
quality acts to fill a four-day music festival, and the fact that narrowing down those
hundreds of acts to a mere handful of top-notch nominees for our awards show is a
harrowing challenge, means that we all win, friends. So, whether you got the coveted
Flagpole Awards nod or not, let's get together and celebrate all that we love about the
Athens music scene at the beautiful Morton Theatre on Thursday. It's a good way to get
those warm fuzzies flowing; you'll need those to help you power through the marathon of
live music that follows.
This year we've enlisted help of Luke Fields as host for the evening. You may already
know him as one of the most badass guitarists in town—currently shredding for Bit
Brigade and the obscenely entertaining 'Powers. But in the last couple of years he has
figured out how to entertain crowds without a guitar, and with his monthly comedy
series, HACKS, he's convinced a bunch of other musicians that they can do the same.
He'U have the pleasure of welcoming to the stage some of our favorite local bands
from across a bunch of different genres: The Gold Party, Abandon the Earth Mission,
Lera Lynn, Ruby Kendrick and Timmy Tumble will all be performing during the show,
and Kenosha K1d returns as our pit band. And being that we love the 'poles, we've also
invited the Vertical Pole Dance Academy to perform an opening number.
If you absolutely can't make it to the show, you can follow along as winners are
announced live via Twitter—just follow (SFlagpolemusic. (Michelle Gilzenrat]
