“We intentionally booked a blues band, a country band, a reggae band and a rock band. We’re really mixing it up.”

One of the busiest and most hardworking musicians in Savannah, not to mention one of the city’s most talented singer-songwriters and guitar players, Bible delivers.

On the music front, the success of the inaugural Dairy Daze led to a flood of interest from local acts looking to get involved. Savannah wins again, with two days of live music.

The Savannah couple, with and without a band, does Americana with the expected song-by-song emphasis on folk, classic country, and smooth Eagles-style classic rock of the extra chill variety.

Anders Thomsen and his atomic clock rhythm section turn a Saturday afternoon for those not possessed by NCAA football into a daylight hootenanny and six-string fireworks show.

Never taken too seriously, Halloween tribute shows have become a solid tradition in most cities with an active scene. Savannah fits that description, and we get good ones every year.

Halloween month is here, and hopping into the gross-out festivities is EDM star Snails, the innovator of vomitstep.

On a sad side note, this is the last month for the Lodge of Sorrows, and they’re going out with a bang in October. Stay tuned for more and try to catch them all. Humans tend to forget how good something is until it’s gone, and Lodge of Sorrows is a world of good.

Atlanta’s Fury in Few is a face-grabbing heavy riff rock and roll machine. One release after another confirms their superior ability to write compelling, multi-layered songs that build, progress and run off a strong hook.

What more can be said about Savannah’s favorite classic country cover crew? The eight Playboys are all accomplished musicians, bar owners, bartenders, and combinations thereof.

Vocal siren Veronica Garcia-Melendez turned the potential cringe of “Final Countdown” by Europe into a soaring highlight of Nordista Freeze’s Space Prom.

Let’s show these fine visitors why we’re called the Hostess City and consider a courtesy flush if necessary.

If the Savannah bluegrass scene was like organized crime — and it isn’t — Swamptooth would be the pickers di tutti pickers.
