The Normaltown Flyers


Though not a household name like some of their contemporaries, country-tinged folk-rockers the Normaltown Flyers have been an integral part of Athens music for more than 35 years. Billed as the “official kick-off to the holiday season,” the group’s annual pre-Thanksgiving show has become a Classic City tradition. This year’s event takes place at The Foundry on Turkey Day Eve, where you can settle in with a pre-show meal and/or drinks at 5 p.m. before the band takes the stage at 8. Whether you’re visiting family, catching up with old friends or simply hungry for a heaping of quality tunes, it’s the place to be.
