FRIDAY

Members of the Rome Area Songwriters Association will be celebrating their tenth anniversary in the Schroeder’s Courtyard where it all began.

Friday’s show will feature many of the longtime members as well as some newer ones.

Atomic Boogie is one of the hottest bands in the Atlanta area when it comes to jump blues and rockabilly swing.

Schroeder’s Courtyard presents the Dex Romweber Duo. North Carolina native Romweber has been playing in bands since he was 11 and was influenced by early rock and roll heroes like Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Richie Valens, and Little Richard. He formed the Flat Duo Jets in the mid ’80s, which became an underground favorite in the revamp of rockabilly during the golden age of MTV. Muletide Perkins Trio will open the show.

Jon Byrd will perform in the back bar at 333 on Broad for a dinner show in which the whole family is welcome. Jon sounds great and sets a fine tone in a laid back atmosphere.

Russell McClanahan & the mOOn Crew play old time string band music in the Harvest Moon dining room every Thursday. They pay homage to great oldies and put an old time spin on modern tunes as well.

FRIDAY

Last year’s Party on the Green was one of the most talked about events of the year. This is a fantastic event that benefits the Rome Area History Museum which does a wonderful job of keeping locals and visitors informed about Rome and the area’s rich history. The music lineup is stellar with Thunderbolt Patterson, Kneckdown and Blu Train. Tickets: 706-235-8051.

Sonia Leigh is an Atlanta-based folk rock and Americana artist who has been making some big sounds regionally and nationally (like opening up for Loretta Lynn last weekend in Connecticut). Her latest album Run or Surrender was released on Zac Brown’s label, Southern Ground, and has won her a growing national fanbase. She’ll be at 333 on Broad this Friday night.

The Cornbread Killers are awaiting a new CD that should be out any day now. I’m sure it’s going to be great. Jeff, Jeff, and Shane are all excellent musicians and they have a lot of great originals and some covers that aren’t too shabby either! The Moon Roof is a great place to catch these guys.

SATURDAY

Local favorites Backswing will return to 333 on Broad to play from an arsenal of classic tunes. These guys are pros and put on a great show with ease every time.

On Saturday, Schroeder’s Courtyard brings more fresh music to town. The Suex Effect is a funky trio from Athens that pulls from many influences including jazz, blues, reggae, and that heavy ’70s funk that just gets down right dirty. Folks looking for that great jam will be very pleased. Muletide Perkins Trio will open this show.

Time for another great punk rock house show! The Pox and The Mackeys are two bands that aren’t afraid to rock it out. It’s too bad that there aren’t very many (or any) places for bands of this sort to play. However, house shows are awesome anyway, so good for them. This one will be this Saturday at 7 Myrtle Street.

Scarlet City will be cranking it up and delivering some heavy alternative rock sounds at Broad Street Station. These local favorites have no problem with bringing the heat.

There’s great music every which way you turn this weekend.

Francisco Vidal has been a long-term staple in the Atlanta area singer/songwriter scene and he has made a nice home away from home here in Rome at 333 on Broad. He’ll be back Friday to put on a great evening of acoustic music.

My Ninja is a recent formation that has been getting some great response in the few shows that they have played so far. It’s fresh, funky, keyboard-driven and reminiscent of the ’80s underground sound. They’ll be at the 400 Block Bar.

Studio 712 presents an evening of jazz with the Pollard Greens Jazz Quartet. This is a great opportunity to kick back at the City Club above Old Havana and enjoy one of Rome’s most refreshing acts in a very cool environment.

Also, the Rome Runners Club will host the annual Roman Rumble 5K at Ridge Ferry Park.

The Third Annual Rome Beer Festival will take place at Heritage Park. This has been a great event each year where people can sample a variety of beer and enjoy a nice afternoon at the park. The proceeds go to support the Rome Area Council for the Arts.
