CRITIC’S PICK:
Fri. Sept. 12
Emmylou Harris, Atlanta Botanical Garden — She may not play to packed mega-arenas like others in her genre, but it’s hard to think of many who have dedicated their life more fully and completely to country and roots music than Emmylou Harris. At this late stage, with dozens of albums to her name, she has reached living legend status as much as her Trio bandmates Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton. Now pushing 80, she likely won’t be touring much longer. Her supple and clear voice still remains powerful, she always has a great band, and the sheer sprawling range of her catalog is rightly renowned, so catch her now. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Legendary singer-songwriter Emmylou Harris returns to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Gainesville on September 12 for an encore performance celebrating the Garden’s 10th anniversary.
The 14-time Grammy Award winner last performed at the Gainesville Garden in 2015 during its inaugural concert in the Ivester Amphitheater, where its intimate outdoor setting and exceptional acoustics offer artists and guests an experience unlike any other.
“It’s truly an honor to have her here at any time, but having been the first artist to perform in our amphitheater really makes this show extremely special as we continue to celebrate our 10th anniversary,” Garden Director Mildred Fockele said.
Harris is known as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her incomparably expressive singing. Admired throughout her career for her talent as an artist and song connoisseur, Harris shook up country radio in the 1970s when she established herself as the premiere songwriter of a generation, selling more than 15 million records and garnering her 14 Grammy Awards, three CMA Awards and four Americana Awards.
Discounted tickets go on sale to Garden members on May 21. General admission tickets will be available on May 28. Garden memberships are available at atlantabg.org/join.
The concert begins at 8 p.m., and gates open at 6 p.m. Seating is general admission, and cash bars and food purchases will be available.
