The 806: Chicago Blues

Chicago-reared blues band The 806 is shaking up the Nashville scene in a memorable way. The 5-piece band of siblings has garage-rock influences, and they create stacked sounds through the usage of bluesy instrumentals and the type of vocal harmonies that could only come from siblings. The passionate grit in their voices combined with the jazzy foundation of their songs creates a unique sound that can be heard through their many releases.

Dragon Con: A Weekend of Magic

Labor Day weekend in Atlanta is historically one of the busiest weekends in the city, with football season kicking off at the Benz, Dragon Con attracting America’s most devoted fandoms, House in the Park celebrating 20 years of dancing and all the joys that come with Black Pride. For Labor Day weekend, the streets of Atlanta were full of roller skating dragons, frat boys in polos and Khakis, a million Harry Potters and Bulldogs fans painted in UGA’s signature red and black. It’s always refreshing to see such a different mix of people all coming together for a weekend of unanimous enjoyment.
