Pure Knead is a dedicated bakery specializing in allergy friendly fare.

Atlanta's ‘BEST WORLD MUSIC ACT’ Salutes Men on Father's Day

ATLANTA -- You have seen them on NBC television network reality series “America’s Got Talent” and if you are a reality-show junkie, you remember them sharing  their high-energy dance experience with singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss and Attorney Phaedra Parks in connection with their travels to South Africa on BRAVO cable network top-rated reality series “Real Housewives of Atlanta”.

Now, the 19-year Atlanta-based ensemble GIWAYEN MATA, is going  to bring their ‘contagious’ high energy drum and dance to the Southwest Arts Center for Father's Day. Between educating audiences about African traditions and breaking barriers as an all-sistah ensemble in a male dominated percussion industry, its no wonder Creative Loafing Magazine named them "Best Local World Music Act" three times!

CAU holds their 19th Jazz Under the Stars event on Saturday May 5th

CAU holds their 19th Jazz Under the Stars event on Saturday May 5th

Its that time of year again, when the weather is nice and outdoor festivals are in full effect.  One of my favorite and more calming outdoor events every year is Clark Atlanta's Jazz Under the Stars event.  They always have a great set-up of wine and art and a number of jazz bands to entertain.  

Rachelle Ferrell will headline the Clark Atlanta University (CAU) Guild’s 19th annual Jazz Under the Stars Benefit Concert Saturday, May 5, at 7 p.m. on the Harkness Hall Quadrangle on CAU’s campus, 223 James P. Brawley Drive, S.W. 30314.

Rachelle Ferrell is a recent arrival on the contemporary jazz scene, but her visibility on the pop/urban contemporary scene has boosted her audience's interest in her jazz recordings. Born and raised in Philadelphia, she started singing in the second grade at age 6. This no doubt contributed to the eventual development of her startling “six-and-change” octave range.
