Southern Hospitality Tour: The Black Crowes And Whiskey Myers

CRITIC'S PICK:
Sat., May 23
The Black Crowes, Whiskey Myers, Southall, Ameris Bank Amphitheatre - It's the "Southern Hospitality Tour" y'all, as Atlanta's most visible, if not best, Southern rockers return to play this OTP shed with assistance from the similarly-styled Whiskey Myers and Southall. Both openers are post-Skynyrd Southern rockers with Myers forming in 2007 and Southall in 2015. But it's the veteran Crowes, who played Atlanta bars as Mr. Crowe's Garden back in 1984, that'll bring out the greying longtime fans who have seen this band of Robinson brothers dissolve and reform three times. The most recent seems to be sticking though, at least based on the renewed popularity generated through two studio albums, Happiness Bastards (2024) and the new A Pound of Feathers. Both find the siblings, along with original bassist Sven Pipien and at least five other touring faceless backing musicians, cranking out a few decades worth of hits along with a healthy portion of new stuff. A rowdy time is guaranteed for all. - Hal Horowitz
