***A couple of quick updates***
This Saturday 11/16 my time at the anniversary has been moved up from 6-9 to 5-8 so that you can enjoy the TN/GA game. So come out early to hear some tunes at 5 and stay to cheer on your favorite team! Happy 43rd Doc’s!
I had to postpone Thursday, 11/21 at MacCracken’s due to an unforeseen conflict. But don’t fret!! The awesome Julie Gribble will be covering for me, so you can still head out to listen to some tunes and choose from a giant selection of scotch and beer. I’ll be back on the square soon.
I’ve been selected to perform at the WiB showcase in Memphis during the IBC!! This event takes place on 1/9/25 from 11:30-4. The showcase highlights several women from around the country and helps us reveal our talents and network with some of the biggest professionals in the industry. Lineup and times TBA. Save the date to support women in blues!!
I have also been chosen to host the 2025 Kettle Moraine Bluesfest at The Bend Theater in West Bend, WI. I’ll be there both nights, 3/28 & 3/29, so lock that in your calendars Sconnies!
Don’t forget, this Friday I’ll be playing at your favorite BBQ joint, Fox Brothers. I’ll be ‘Pickin’ On the Patio’ of the westside location starting at 6. May have a couple guest sit ins, so get your ears and your mouths ready.
See you this weekend!

Hey everybody! I know you haven’t heard from me in awhile, so I wanted to check in. There’s a lot going on in November!
Saturday night, 11/2, Mandi Strachota & the Major 7s will be making their debut at Moonshadow Tavern in Tucker. We are super excited to be playing this venue with this lineup. Y’all may have seen me there with Wasted Potential so you are already aware of the cool vibe and great food. FYI, they have also gone non-smoking. Don’t worry, smokers, you can still smoke in several spots outside, and it is supposed to be pretty nice tomorrow. Also, we plan to have a special guest so you really don’t want to miss this. https://www.moonshadowtavern.com/
Friday, 11/8 and Friday 11/29 I will be back at Ott Farms and Vineyard in Elijay. It is supposed to be really nice next Friday, which sounds like a great time to get up in the mountains and sip on some wine. And then the 29th will be Black Friday and I can think of no place better to take your Christmas shopping. You don’t have to get up at 5am and there’s no shoving in line. Music is from 1:30-5:30 both Fridays. Ott Farms is located at 230 Henry Evans Rd, Ellijay, GA 30536. https://www.ottvineyards.com/
Then, Friday, 11/15, I’ll be playing an acoustic set on the patio of your favorite dinner in town… Fox Bros BBQ Westside. I’m already thinking about what I’ll be having. Join us for their limited happy hour music series, Pickin On the Patio. Live music and delicious BBQ while you’re waiting out traffic? Obviously. See you there! Don’t miss the Bradley Cole Smith duo on 11/8 and Eddie Kesler and Jessie Almand 11/22 as part of this series as well. Fox Bros Westside is located in The Works Upper Westside. Music is from 6-9. Feel free to also visit their Dekalb Ave location as well as the brand new location in Brookhaven. https://www.foxbrosbbq.com/
Saturday, 11/16, I’ll be playing the Doc’s 43rd Anniversary Party! It takes a lot to stay in business that long y’all. And I’ve been playing there almost half that long! Y’all know this is my family and I love returning here when I can. They have great late night food and live music and events regularly. Live music for this event starts at 2 pm with Mike Brookshire and I will be performing from 6-9. Then get ready for the Rick Joyner experience from 10-2. There will also be a 50/50 Raffle, with all proceeds going to BHR of GA. The Blue Heron Ranch is a Nature Sanctuary where they provide housing and medical care for horses. So… yeah I’ll see you there. Doc’s is located at 2621 Cumberland Blvd SE in Smyrna, across 41 from the battery. https://www.bhrgeorgia.org/ https://06c4d1f.netsolhost.com/
Thursday, 11/21, I’ll be returning to MacCracken’s on the square in Marietta. This place is always a good time. They have a great beer and scotch selection, a kickass staff of veteran bartenders, and an eclectic collection of relics for your viewing pleasure. They also have yummy pub grub up until 10pm. Music is from 9-12. Johnnie MacCrackens is located at 15 Atlanta St SE in Marietta just off the square. https://www.johnniemaccrackens.com/
Saturday, 11/30, I’ll be returning to The Third Door off the square in Marietta. I’ll be playing some original tunes with Jason Shewmake on the covered patio. Located across the street from a historic church, this venue gives off a prohibition vibe with excellent hand crafted cocktails (they have some good non alcoholic options as well). They are consistent supporters of live local music. Music starts at 6:15 with Dylan Kight and Jason and I will be serenading you from 9-11:30. They don’t serve food but there are plenty of options on the square for you to grab a bite to eat. The Third Door is located just off the Marietta square at 131 Church St. https://thethirddoor.net/
I’ll be in touch with you soon about December events but I sure do hope to see you this month! I’ll probably be heading north for the winter (tee hee) so if you wanna see me in town you should do it now.
Upcoming event of note: Kettle Moraine Bluesfest at The Bend in West Bend, WI 3/28-3/29 in 2025. This was AMAZING last year, and Saturday night is an all women lineup. I’m so excited!!!
All right y’all, see you soon! And if you can’t make my shows this month, go see another local artist! There are so many great folks in this city or in whichever city you may be. I promise you can find them. Things are looking up and about to get super busy. #supportlocalmusic
