, , , , , , ShedFest 2022

Thanks to everyone who came out to ShedFest! ShedFest was held at a great new Atlanta music venue, The Garden Club at Wild Heaven West End, with music inside The Garden Club and the artist market outside in the Wild Heaven lawn area. The music lineup featured four great local bands: Voodoo Visionary, Casual Cadenza, Rujen, and The Norm. There was a little something for everybody with genres spanning from indie to rock to hip-hop to funk!

We look forward to the continual growth of this event for years to come! We raised $1000 for Lanta Gras this year, and we will continue our efforts through ShedFest to provide access to instruments and music lessons for kids in our community. You can donate to Lanta Gras year-round in support of this great initiative!

Recital Recap

Our two big summer recitals are behind us and both of them were such a blast! The Adults Recital at Red Light Cafe featured some killer sets by our four adult ensembles as well as a handful of fantastic solo performers. The Kids & Teens Recital at City Winery was one of our best ever! Our teen bands started the show, and were followed by many great solo performances. It’s always a treat to see the progress our students make each year. Our next performance is the Summer Drum Recital at Waller’s Coffee Shop on July 10th. Can’t wait to see our drummers rock out!
