Family and Friends, Roadkill Ghost Choir, Semicircle


The unofficial back-to-school blowout takes place the first Friday of UGA’s spring semester at the Georgia Theatre, where folky co-ed faves Family and Friends headline a triple-stacked bill that also includes highly touted Florida up-and-comers Roadkill Ghost Choir and promising Athens folk-pop project Semicircle—which, hey, recently released Flagpole‘s eighth-favorite record of 2014, so you know those fellas are onto something. Family and Friends are currently working on an EP follow-up to last year’s Mumford-ian debut, Love You Mean It, so check out the new tunes and say hello to old pals.
