One
of the most wonderful things about Atlanta for a gigging musician is that every
neighborhood has at least 3-4 venues for live music, and there are open mic
night’s everywhere. Also, the radio stations have a history of supporting local
music. Check out the following links for a sampling of Atlanta’s music scene:
