Hope on the Road: Hope for Agoldensummer
has a huge tour in the works that will run
from the beginning of October through Nov.
20. The band has dates planned for the East
Coast, South and Midwest. In other big news
for the group, they've launched their own
record label named Mazarine Records and will
release a new album titled Life Inside the Body
in January 2012. Other artists on the label are
Pacific UV and Electrophoria. You can catch
HFAGS locally before they split town if you
head to Hendershot's Coffee Bar on Oct. 8.
For more information, please see www.mazari-
nerecords.com.
I Need That Record: Kurt Wood is going to
open up his record collection for public con
sumption again this season. He'll be hosting
another session of his
famous Front Porch
Record Sale Saturday,
Oct. 8 (9 a.m.-6 p.m.)
and Sunday, Oct. 9
(noon-6 p.m.). As
mentioned before in
this space. Wood has
been an ardent record
collector for going
on 40 years, and the
stuff he has for sale is
always top-notch and
reasonably priced. The
sale takes place liter
ally on his front porch
at 1080 Oconee St., so
don't miss it.
If You're in the
Neighborhood: The
B-52s will play the
inaugural Harvest
Moon Festival at
Pine Mountain, GA's
Callaway Gardens
along with Gin
Blossoms, Shawn
Mullins, Mat Kearney,
David Ryan Harris
(Follow for Now), John
Hiatt and more. The
four-day music and Brantley Gilbert
food festival runs Oct.
6-9 and will include "locally-sourced foods,
cooking and gardening demonstrations, eco-
centric vendors, fun and educational activities
for children and, of course, the wonder and
beauty of all that Callaway Gardens has to
offer." Sure, that last part sounds like hyper
bole but, you know, it ain't braggin' if it's
true. Weekend passes are $79, with individual
day passes starting at $49. There are VIP
packages and other ways to spend money, too;
so if you're interested, please see www.har-
vestmoonfest.com.
A Hits, Baby, Hits: If you've been paying
attention to modern country radio, you've
probably heard this cat, Brantley Gilbert-
native to Jefferson, GA—land on your radar.
His album. Halfway to Heaven Deluxe, debuted
at No. 2 on Billboard magazine's Country
Albums Chart and No. 4 on Billboard's Top
200 Chart. The album sold about 51,000
copies during its first week of release. The
album, originally released by Average Joes
Entertainment back in early 2010, was
tweaked and polished and re-released a
couple of weeks ago by Valory Music Group.
Local production crew The Atom Brothers
(i.e., longtime Athens engineer Tom Lewis
and Newt Carter) were the brains and hands
behind the recording of the album, so hats
off to them for their success. Lewis is also
associate director of the UGA Music Business
Program, and something tells me he's going
to be getting a lot more business in the com
ing months. For more information, please see
www.facebook.com/BrantleyGilbertMusic and

Job with No Name: Wanna help out newish
experimental group Pretty Bird by being part
of its newly christened "International Pretty
Bird F**k the Man, Wake the Drones, Free
Thinking Poster Posting Dissenting Secret
Street Teamers"? Well, just ignore all the
wearying language in that name and drop a
line to recordsrecordsrecordsrecords@gmail.
com. It would probably help if you wrote the
email in 18-point, multi-colored type, because
that's the style Pretty Bird seems to under
stand the best.
Country in the Country: Falling Creek Farms,
located about 25 miles southeast of Athens in
Stephens, GA, will host Waller in tha Holler
on Saturday, Oct. 22. The farm, which raises
grass-fed beef without vaccines, hormones,
etc., has a lineup featuring Lera Lynn,
Radiolucent, The Holman Autry Band, Efren,
Clay Leverett, The Darnell Boys, Burning
Angels, Jeremy Wells and Betsy Kingston.
Part of the idea behind this event is to feel
out how the farm, which encompasses 750
acres, works as a concert venue. If it works,
the guys at Falling Creek Farms would like to
do this type of thing more regularly. Gates
open at 11 a.m., and music starts at noon.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the
gate. Kids 10 and under get in free. For more
information, please see www.fallingcreekfarms.
net.
