Respite 17

From the venue:

The 17th installment of Nathan Brown's annual holiday event celebrating community, warm climes, and soothing sounds.  This year's event focuses primarily on electroacoustic groups and features a broad spectrum of sonic sundies from Atlanta artists.  Doors are at 7:30 and the event starts sharply at 8.  Sets are short and sweet - smiles and friendliness found within.
