If underground music is more your scene, there’s no better place to go than Athens, where artists and musicians thrive – under the radar. Get a look at the next big act coming out of Georgia at the anything but “pop” 40 Watt Club. Or head to Weaver D’s Delicious Fine Foods and discover the soul food eatery with the “Automatic for the People” slogan that inspired the 1992 R.E.M album. In Atlanta, find good food and good music playing almost every night of the week at the EARL (East Atlanta Restaurant & Lounge). Hidden in the hip neighborhood of East Atlanta, this gem’s calendar is filled with that latest in underground sounds.
