Sound Menu August 26 2000 Tues

TUESDAY, AUGUST 29

?Noted Acts

DEKE DEAN'S ROCKABILLY OPEN MIC — The crooner-bop of Blue Avenue opens up the show, after which they open up the stage to assorted guest performers. Group leader Dean has lately been asking complete bands to drop by and jam on these freeform Tuesdays. Northside Tavern (Nicoll)

GIPSY KINGS — See article. Chastain Park Amphitheater (Lueker)

KODAC HARRISON — You gotta hand it to Harrison; his refusal to heed contemporary trends has lent him a certain authenticity that many lesser talents would kill for. Drawing from the miscreant singer-songwriter tradition of early Tom Waits and Warren Zevon, his cautionary urban tales ring true and rock hard (at any volume). This show marks the second installment of Kodac's Blue Plate Special, which features poetry and music from the man himself as well as an array of fellow travelers. Gravity Pub/East Atlanta (Robertson)
