WHAT: RECKLESS KELLY
WHERE: NEIGHBORHOOD THEATRE
5/16 - RECKLESS KELLY GA Tickets $15 adv/$18 dos - VIP $30 (DANCE FLOOR OPEN) Will Call: tba - Doors: 8pm - Showtime: 8:30pm - Openers: Gabriel Kelly Age Restriction: None - All Ages Buy tickets online: www.neighborhoodtheatre.com RECKLESS KELLY Gabriel Kelly opens For fifteen years Reckless Kelly has been doing things their way, bucking the mainstream system and playing by their own rules, straddling the fence between country and rock as if they built it themselves. Throughout the years their old school approach to recording has always adhered to one main objective: make each record better than the last. Their latest effort, "Good Luck & True Love" is no exception to this rule. Recorded in an old farmhouse-turned studio in Austin Texas, and released on the bands new independent label "No Big Deal Records," "Good Luck & True Love" is pure, driving, uncut Reckless Kelly. The songs are all written or co-written by front man Willy Braun and range in subject matter from road songs, ("Weatherbeaten Soul," "Hit The Ground Running") to songs about music, ("New Moon Over Nashville," "I Stayed Up All Night Again") and songs about good old-fashioned heartbreak ("Guarded Heart," "She Likes Money, He Likes Love," and "I Never Liked St. Valentine"). The album is the 9th in RK's ever-growing catalogue and is the 3rd they have produced by themselves. The Reckless boys also made it a point to track almost all of it live. Just 5 guys sitting in a room playing music, with minimal overdubs and aside from a harmony vocal from Dani Flowers, the band plays each and every instrument and part. "We wanted to make a record that sounded like we sound live, without any extra parts thrown in. We wanted it to sound like a band," said fiddle/mandolin player Cody Braun. "Keeping it all in the same space and making sure it was an album rather than just a collection of songs was the main goal, and I think we came pretty close to what we set out to do...there's a lot of continuity within this project." The result is an album that encompasses the last 15 years of Reckless Kelly. Ten new songs that capture the essence of a road worn and battle scarred band of brothers that aren't afraid to take risks and tell it like it is. That's country rock. Thats old school. That's Reckless Kelly Grab your cowboy boots and get ready to party!

WHAT: BLIND PILOT presented by AC Entertainment
WHERE: NEIGHBORHOOD THEATRE
6/7 - BLIND PILOT presented by AC Entertainment GA Tickets $15 adv/$17 dos - VIP $30 (DANCE/MAIN HALL FLOOR OPEN) Will Call: tba - Doors: 7pm - Showtime: 8pm - Opener: tba Age Restriction: None - All Ages Buy tickets online: www.neighborhoodtheatre.com BLIND PILOT presented by AC Entertainment We Are The Tide, the sophomore album from Portland-based band Blind Pilot, was released in September 2011. The album follows the band's grassroots debut, 3 Rounds and a Sound, which has garnered them critical attention on NPR, which included them in their "Best Music of 2008" roundup, stating, "a roots-pop duo which bathes its terrific songs in ingratiating harmonies and understated instrumentation. The resultis endlessly engaging: There's not a dud on 3 Rounds and a Sound, and a ludicrous abundance of replay-worthy ringers." Moreover, the album also received praise from USA Today, the Boston Globe, the New York Post and the Philadelphia Inquirer, which called the music "a rustic reverie." Blind Pilot began in 2007 when Israel Nebeker (vocals, guitar) and Ryan Dobrowski (drums) embarked on a West Coast bicycle tour playing mostly to unfamiliar listeners at small-town venues. The band now exists as a 6-piece ensemble featuring fellow Oregonians Luke Ydstie (upright bass, backing vocals), Kati Claborn (banjo, dulcimer, backing vocals), Ian Krist (vibraphones) and Dave Jorgensen (keyboards, trumpet). In the years since it's inception, the band has toured with various world-renowned musicians and have appeared at the Sasquatch! Music Festival, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival. "the same distinctly Pacific Northwest mellow of regional progenitors like Death Cab For Cutie and Elliott Smith." - The Onion "a bright and simple quality that's undeniably captivating." - WXPN's "World Cafe" "Soaring, solid genius their success is all but guaranteed." - Seattle Weekly
