As we reported last month, the second installment of Athens AMP, a collaborative series involving artists, musicians and performers, took place at Flicker Theatre & Bar Wednesday evening. The show featured a special set from local folk outfit Mothers titled IN THE EVENING I AM FORGOTTEN.

Mothers’ Kristine Leschper was joined by musicians and performers Matt Anderegg, Drew Kirby, William Kennedy, Taber Lathrop, Jack Blauvelt, Remember Watts and Tyler Leslie. For the grand finale, a masked figure approached and began cutting Leschper’s hair while she sang.

Leschper tells Flagpole she is also currently finishing up tracking on Mothers’ debut record. No word on a release date yet.
