If you haven't heard about this series yet, take note...The friendly folks at New Moon of Savannah have put together a pretty interesting series of shows that happens on the last friday of every month where they put together a bill of musicians who wouldn't normally play together.
The first show was local alt-rocker Dare Dukes headlining for acoustic guitar wielding, wine-expert Stan Ray. I didn't get to catch the show, but I know Dare is amazing and that they got a good turnout.
This time around, The Listening Room will feature farmer/guitar picker Michael Maddox alongside the electronic-funk/jazz fusion of RJ Temple, who's the embodiment of eclectic. Besides being an accomplished musician in several genres, he's also the Music Director for local church Overcoming By Faith, and he has a music-heavy, puppet-centric kids' show similar to the Muppets called RJ and The UpBeats. He's starting to promote a couple of new albums, including a mixtape called TrashTracks Vol. 1 and an album that will be released later this fall called Music Machine
This show definitely seems like it's heading more toward the eclectic artist blend that is the event's mission...while Dare and Stan certainly represent divergent genres, their fan bases probably aren't too different. Not so for Maddox, who is a regular performer at Earth Day and GreenFest, and Temple, who reps everything from Gospel to jazz and electronic dance music.
These shows take place at the S.P.A.C.E. Gallery on W. Henry St., in the cultural affairs building, which is a nice spot and sorely underutilized for things like this.
Go support some local music.
