You may have already heard the name Recess Party around town. The funky alternative rock band of four is making waves in the Athens community as it plays across various venues all over town. The band itself is made up of Sam Smith on bass, Meghan Stewart on drums, Christian Pullen on lead guitar and Riley Stillwagon, who takes on the role of lead singer and guitarist. Since its start, the band has formed true friendships as well as an energetic sound. The band’s very first studio album, Paid in Full, is about the band’s transition to the real world after graduating from the University of Georgia, as well as many personal life stories. The album gives off the energy and sound of an alternative and grunge-style garage band. In addition to Recess Party, A.D. Blanco and Bea Porges will perform.
