so you say you want to hear some good music this weekend, but you don’t feel like dropping $100+ to hang out with a bunch of smelly kids in a field in south fulton county?

do i have the solution for you or what?

i have written extensively about atlanta-based roots rock band the beggar’s guild because, well, i am a fan and i want more of you to become fans.

anyway, here is a chance to check them out on friday in a good, intimate venue. the guys will be opening up for the blue mountain reunion tour this friday at star community bar in little 5.

i talked to jon chalden, beggar’s guild drummer, and he tells me they have all sorts of new songs they have been working on for an upcoming lp, so the show promises to be a pretty good one, filled with new stuff.

tbg go on about 10 pm, so get there early so you don’t miss their set.

just in case you need more convincing, here are a couple of mp3’s to wet your whistle, including one live track –

the beggar’s guild – minnesota (always leaving)

the beggar’s guild – only gets better – live at vinyl
