Formed in 2017 out of the city’s underground pop scene, the band released two early albums on Citrus City Records before unveiling their third LP, Blossom Girl Ultra (2024), on Rope Bridge Records. The album blends Tokyo city-pop, new wave, and classic indie into songs that shimmer with funk guitar, disco percussion, and sleek synths, pairing bright surfaces—color, polish, and melody—with an undercurrent of melancholy. Led by singer Sophie Cox and joined by Nadav Flax, Paul Stevens, Bonnie Hardie, and Chandler Kelley, True Blossom delivers pop music that’s sweet, strange, and emotionally complex.About Slow ParadeSlow Parade is the musical project of Atlanta-based songwriter Matthew Pendrick, blending roots, blues, and country into a weathered, song-first strain of rock & roll. On the band’s third LP, Maybe You’ll Come Around, Again, Pendrick digs deeper into old traditions, channeling the clear-eyed intimacy of Harvest-era Neil Young and The Band while stripping away digital gloss in favor of raw, human performances. The songs are populated by worn-down characters chasing clarity through late nights and long roads, rendered with wit, grit, and empathy. Recorded live over three days in a former 1908 Baptist church outside Atlanta, the album captures a band playing together in one room, honoring the deep musical history embedded in the space itself. With lush moments like “Napping on the Job” and “Lovely Moon” softening the edges, Slow Parade invites listeners to linger in the haze—if only for a few more miles, a few stolen moments, or one last drink.The popular concert series showcasing a wide array of talent returns to Callanwolde!
