On Thursday night, the Caledonia Lounge transformed from a rock-centric party den into a homey, intimate, queer-friendly room full of quiet, respectful people. On night three of her tour, Laura Stevenson graced Athens with her soulful tunes and playful personality.
Athens singer-songwriter Elijah Johnston jokingly refers to himself as a "recovering lo-fi addict," and his recent work has indeed found him ditching murky home recordings in favor of a clean, crisp full-band sound.

On Friday night, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit played their second of three sold-out nights at the Georgia Theatre. The room was packed to the brim with fans of Isbell—a rowdy yet entertaining crowd, similar to one you might see at a Drive-By Truckers show, only, perhaps, a little more sober.
Athens singer-songwriter Brendan Abernathy spent three years in the local rock band Light Brigade before setting out on his own as a singer-songwriter, using loop-based techniques to add live layers to his rich, melodic confessionals. For the past few months, Abernathy has been on a house show tour of the U.S., and he'll finish up the current run with a show at the 40 Watt Club on Nov. 19.

Athens singer-songwriter Sarah Zúñiga specializes in the sort of earnest, heart-tugging folk-pop that's made for mid-afternoon drives and sunny poolside hangs.
