Tame Impala Atlanta Concert Review at The Tabernacle
June 19, 2013
I’ve had Tame Impala’s show at the Tabernacle dog eared on my calendar for quite some time.

Well I did it. It’s my fault, and you can place the blame squarely on me. I said day two of CMA Fest couldn’t possibly live up to the spectacle that was Thursday night’s opener, and I was right. I jinxed it. It’s all on me. Of course, that’s not to say that Friday night’s

When I was assembling the title for this article, I had the unenviable task of figuring out which artists to leave out. Country sensation Luke Bryan and Tracy Lawrence drew the short straws.

There are few things more dramatic than seeing young performers that aspire
