"Following the Landslide," the new CD from Atlanta singer-songwriter Lucas Mire, accomplishes what can often be a difficult task: Many of the tunes deal with loss, but the album leaves listeners feeling more introspective than inconsolable.
"The album deals with loss and grief — mainly around the death of my mother when I was in my early 20s, but also about the end of my last serious relationship," says Mire, who marks the release of his third full-length album with a 7 p.m. show Saturday at Eddie's Attic in Decatur.

The Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus presents "No Rest for the Wicked" this weekend, but tickets are sold out for all but the Saturday matinee performance of the show that features songs from the hit musical and the debut of the AGMC Women's Chorus Project.
"No Rest for Wicked" focuses on the music of composer Stephen Schwartz. The third most successful Broadway musical ever, "Wicked" is based on Gregory Maguire's novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" and tells the story behind the "Wizard of Oz" character.

Levi Kreis is no stranger to Atlanta, but his weekend gig here is something of a change-up for the openly gay artist.
Kreis is appearing Saturday night as part of “The Flying Solo” tour. He promises an intimate evening with just him and a piano.
“It’s almost like an invite-only performance,” he says. “There is no set list. I tell stories about some of the songs I’ve done.”

Michael Morgan does little to settle the eternal debate of whether prodigies are made or born. He largely attributes his success as an orchestra conductor to the nurturing he got from public school teachers, his parents and iconic conductor Leonard Bernstein.
Yet, from his earliest years, there were parts of Morgan’s nature that make it seem as if he were innately suited to be a maestro.
“[Conducting] is a part of the personality of whomever is doing it,” says Morgan, who is guest conducting the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s “Russian Stalwarts” concert March 28-30.

Years ago, Tom Goss planned to be a Catholic seminarian. Now he’s headed to Atlanta to help raise funds for a bunch of fake nuns.
An acoustic singer-songwriter known for both his music and his messages, Goss performs at Atlanta’s First Existentialist Congregation on Saturday, March 9, to benefit the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the group of drag nuns dedicated to community service for LGBT people and beyond.
“I’ve met Sisters all over the country; I love their energy and their works,” Goss tells GA Voice.
And while Goss will join the Atlanta Sisters as performer rather than priest, he still packs powerful meanings into his music.
