Live performances can create a series of moments that serve as a haven from the outside world and grant us a rare opportunity to achieve simultaneous relaxation and entertainment for however brief a time. Find a style that resonates with you and grab your tickets, lawn chair, dancing shoes, etc. for a night of pure musical bliss.
You can spend an evening listening to the vocal stylings of young local talent with your choice of two musical theatre camp final performances.

Perhaps your musical fancy can only be tickled by something slightly more alternative than Broadway’s best. Indulge your need for folk-rock perfection and check out the Indigo Girls show. Revel in the simple melodies, the mixture of rich voices, and the thoughtful lyrics of the Indigo Girls while taking in the picturesque setting provided by the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. The bright, pleasant outdoor backdrop adds to the honest, natural Indigo Girls vibe and helps you release your worries to the wind and embrace quiet reflection.

Drink in the cool summer night with a fresh take on classic hits. These seasoned musicians appeal to classic rock tastes, but they aren’t afraid to throw in new and interesting musical combinations. Bring a blanket and a few dollars and some extra cash for on-site food and drink vendors.
Maybe a rhythmic toe-tapping, can’t-help-but-clap-your-hands-to-that-beat style suits you. It sounds like you should head out to get your groove on with a DJ.
