Atlanta Music Archives


The Atlanta Music Archives offer a look back at five decades of concerts, artists, venues, and scene coverage as published in Creative Loafing. From early punk shows and jazz nights to the rise of Southern hip-hop, these archives trace the evolution of Atlanta’s sound — and the culture around it.

This page is a work in progress. We're steadily populating our old content in the archives pages.
