CRITIC’S PICK
Fri.-Sat. June 27-29

BreezeFest 2025, Northside Tavern: There is no better way to discover and revel in Atlanta’s blues scene than attending both days of this annual benefit in memory of Carlos Capote, one of the city’s most respected talents and band leaders. He was always there to help others so the fact that the profits from these shows go to the Atlanta Blues Society’s Blue Flame Fund which “assists musicians and club personnel in times of need” makes them all the more essential. At press time, there wasn’t a list of acts, but be assured that any major Atlanta-based outfit and/or musician will contribute their talents. — Hal Horowitz
