CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Joshua Robinson Recommends: Former 2015 XXL Freshman Raury has had a music career that most artists would dream of. The Stone Mountain native broke onto the music scene with “God’s Whisper” and Indigo Child in 2014, and in the process, he caught the attention of everyone ranging from local legends like Key! to renowned industry veterans like Kanye West. From the legendary OutKast reunion shows to Music Midtown, Raury has performed at some of the biggest concerts Atlanta has thrown in recent history, and on the contrary, he has also thrown some incredibly unique and intimate sets in woods throughout the city. Now, Raury is adding another major look to his growing performance resume: an ongoing residency at Smith’s Olde Bar. Catch the Strawberry Moon artist every Tuesday for a live jam session, and if you feel so inclined, come prepared to join the groove. — JR
