Ryne Meadow, Cortez Garza, Sydney Baker, Oliver Jordan


Native Athenian Ryne Meadow moved to New Jersey last year, but he’s back in his hometown to play a release show in honor of his debut album, A Tale of Two Songbirds, which he’s been crafting for the past five years. The record, which Meadow describes as “my story of love, loss and self-discovery while growing up gay in the Deep South,” is a 13-song collection of crisp, competent pop music based on Meadow’s minimalist homemade beats and urgent, emotive vocals. Wednesday’s show will mark Meadow’s first performance with a full band. Fellow singer-songwriters Cortez Garza, Sydney Baker and Oliver Jordan share the bill.
