Have you ever wanted to know how and why the shape and size of your glass affect the aroma, flavor, and overall profile of wine? If so, then you simply must not miss this exciting event! Must be 21 years of age to attend.

We are very excited to partner up with Pinkie’s Up for our first Riedel Sensory Workshop showcasing the Riedel Performance Line.

Whether you’re a novice or an avid oenophiles, this is an educational opportunity to learn how the shape of the glass can affect wines. The workshop will give you a glimpse into Riedel’s 260-year history of design and invention, and demonstrate the important role your wine glass plays in wine enjoyment. With the use of two white wine and two red wine glasses from Riedel’s Performance series, see for yourself why shape matters.

With three generations of research, development and experience in creating wine specific glassware Georg Riedel & Maximilian J. Riedel have created Performance the ultimate loudspeaker for fine wine. Performance® glasses are executed in sparkling fine crystal. The grape varietal specific shapes in Performance®, when combined with the optic impact, deliver ultimate wine enjoyment, making Performance the new essential ‘must-have’ wine glass collection for all wine-lovers.

Come out and listen to two AMAZING bands while supporting ATL Lab Rescue at the same time! All of these phenomenal souls are performing for FREE so all proceeds after our expenses go directly to the charity. MINORS WELCOME WITH AN ADULT.

Navajo Joe is a hook-focused rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Joe Ciucci (drums, vocals), Dean Siewert (bass, vocals), and Jeff Siewert (guitar, bottle opener) got together in 2014 just for the joy of playing songs they have enjoyed throughout the years. Navajo Joe’s list of influences is long and broad, but together on their own new material or on favorite cover tunes, a raw, fun energy emerged. Their sound has been described as a blend of garage, Americana, 80’s college alternative, and traditional rock styles.

Glen Pridgen has been involved in the Atlanta music scene for over 20 years as a performer, songwriter, producer and band manager. Pridgen grew up in a house filled with music. His father was the drummer for Junior Walker and the AllStars and Randall Bramblett and his mother was featured on the Dolly Parton Show. His sound is a mix of Southern Rock and Motown and his live shows are a high energy jam fest. The band is a mix of Southern Rock and Motown and the live shows are a high energy jam fest.

For over 20 years, Swami Gone Bananas has proven to be one of the city’s finest and most watched ‘cover’ bands. Even though they do many of their own songs, Swami still likes to call them a cover group. Swami (founder Mike Schulman) formed this band after friend and Grateful Dead founder Jerry Garcia died in 1995. Swami was (in 1995) and still is a graphic designer for the Dead with over 100 T-Shirt and stage pass designs. Swami always said that the Grateful Dead were the best cover group of all time. When Jerry died Swami formed Swami Gone Bananas to ‘cover’ the Atlanta area. The Swami Band played the “Circus Tent’ at Buckhead’s ‘Mike & Angelos’ for almost 10 years becoming an institution in Atlanta’s entertainment district. When nightclubs were replaced with city expansion, Swami Gone Bananas moved to Atlanta’s famous Northside Tavern. With years of performances in the Tavern under their belt, Swami Gone Bananas continues to be Atlanta’s “Good Times Icons’.

FTE welcomes The Atlanta Funk Society on September 28th at 9pm! They will be playing two sets. The first set will be a tribute too Sly and the Family Stone’s “FRESH” album and the second set will be a standard AFS set. This is a ticketed event. This will be a free show!!!

The Atlanta Funk Society is a high-powered brigade of the area’s finest musicians, dedicated to the faithful execution of songs from the heyday of funk, soul, and R&B. The band was formed in 2011 by bassist Kevin Scott (Jimmy Herring, Col. Bruce Hampton, Wayne Krantz) and singer/guitarist Rob Lane. The two had just finished a gig at The 5 Spot, a legendary (now defunct) Atlanta music venue, and were sitting in “the conspiracy oven,” the club’s unventilated office. Itunes was on shuffle and they suddenly heard Chaka Khan’s Whatcha Gonna Do For Me. A “nobody plays this stuff” conversation ensued and by the end of it, the club owner had offered them weekly gigs to get the project going.

In the years since, the band’s line-up, song list, and following have all gotten bigger and better. They can perform as a lean-and-mean quartet (rhythm section with vocals), or as a funky 8-piece army with a full compliment of horns, back-up singers and percussion. They are dedicated practitioners of the funk, R&B, and Soul hits of the 60s, 70s and 80s, but also the deep cuts and B-sides that have resided in obscurity for too long. Among their audiences, the uninitiated groove to hits by Stevie Wonder, James Brown, and Sly & The Family Stone, while connoisseurs of the funky arts are joyfully surprised to hear favorites by Parliament Funkadelic, The Meters, and The Isley Brothers.

The Atlanta Funk Society has appeared at many of the region’s best venues and festivals, including Terminal West, Venkman’s, Smith’s Olde Bar, Elliot Street Pub, The Earl, The Kirkwood Spring Fling, The Atlanta Street Food & Music Festival, The Cherry Blossom Festival, and The Bear Creek Bayou Music Festival. For many years running, A.F.S. has joined forces with The ATL Collective on annual performances of James Brown’s Funky Christmas. The event has featured special guest appearances by James Brown alumni such as trombonist Fred Wesley and drummers Bernard Purdie and John “Jabo” Starks. A.F.S. also books private events through East Coast Music.
