If you’re looking to get out and see some live music this week, you’ll be happy to know you have a lot of options. Which is exactly what you want after a long weekend of stuffing your face and spending far too much quality time with your family, right? Now it’s time to get out of the house and vent your frustrations on something other than your parent’s shitty politics. However, if one of your options was to try and see Jason Isbell at the Georgia Theatre, I hope you bought your tickets early, because otherwise you’re shit outta luck. All three performances are sold out. There’s always StubHub, I guess.
But even if you don’t make it in to see Isbell, don’t worry. There’s plenty more shows to check out. I mean, look, I know that gut-wrenching country ballads and punked-up metal scorchers lie on opposite sides of the sonic spectrum but any chance you get to see a lineup that features a pair of titans like Red Fang and Torche, along with local bruisers Whores, you take it, okay? No questions asked. And if noisy metal and punk just aren’t your thing, that’s fine, too. Take a few moments to make your way through our handy calendar and I’m sure you’ll find something on here that’s to your liking.
