Glitter Goddess Productions presents Tasselcade (A Burlesque Smackdown): a showcase which combines the devices of pro-wrestling with the art of the striptease. While both wrestling and burlesque are often perceived as lowbrow art forms, both with glittery, and over-the-top costuming and physicality, it is only right to combine the two. And maybe someone will win a belt!

You asked for it. So here it is. Red Light Café presents the return of a straight-up, bonafide Open Mic Night — hosted by Angela Durden! This ain't a jam or meetup because, at the end of the night, someone's walking away with hard-won prize money**! And this is a truly open mic: music, comedy, spoken word, dance... anything goes. Bring what'cha got.
Signups start at 7pm with your host, Angela Durden. Performances begin at 8pm sharp with participants getting a 10 minute slot to do their thing. At 10:30, the top 3 finalists (determined by crowd response, our gracious host Angela, and the RLC Staff) will perform once more each in a showdown to determine the night's winner.
** Prize money is a percentage of door. If Ellen really likes you she may comp the winner's tab. If Michael really likes you he may try to book you for a gig at RLC. If you hear a gong struck during your performance, you're not the winner.
NOTE: If you're performing with pre-recorded music, please have that music on a phone (or other device) with a headphone jack.

At once heartfelt and sophisticated, Jackie Bristow combines subtle but beautiful melodies and hooks that hypnotize the listener, demand complete surrender and then stick around with the backbone of a real friend. Born in New Zealand but then transplanted to Australia and now the United States with a guitar, suitcase and songs, Jackie travels light but packs a heavy punch.
Jackie is joined by special guests, and Atlanta's own, Konner Scott and Ryan Winslow.

Join us for the Atlanta Songwriters Club Meet Up at Red Light Café every second Monday of the month! $5 at the door, starts at 8pm, and you can sign up to play a song if you'd like when you get here.
The Atlanta Songwriters Club is a bit like an open mic with a few key differences. This group exists for songwriter's who would like to interact with other songwriters. It is similar to an open mic, but with the added benefit of discussion. You can come and play a song or just watch and listen. If you'd like to play, you will tell us all if you are interested in receiving feedback on the song or not. If you are interested then after you play we will all discuss what we like about the song, and any suggestions we might have as a group. If you'd rather not have any feedback on the song then you will simply play the song for us. There's no cash prize, competition, or politics. Just songwriting discussions and hopefully new friendships.
If you're a songwriter looking to connect with other songwriters and get some dialogue happening, this group is for you! A club like this allows us to get to know other local songwriters, and learn from one another.

Come celebrate the release of the debut LP from Atlanta’s favorite father/daughter Americana duo, The Brookses, at their favorite listening room, Red Light Café! Special guests Collins Drive will open the show. The Brookses will be playing with a full band, including special guests Adam Goodhue, Scott DePoy, Emily Backus and Rob Henson. The LP will be available for sale on both vinyl and CD at the show.
Glide Magazine had this to say about the album: “The debut LP from Atlanta-based father-daughter folk duo The Brookses, Lucky Charm, is the culmination of a decades-in-the-making partnership, harnessing and presenting energy that could only be borne from family bonds. This album’s blend of timeless folk themes and rich, lively production lends itself to a masterful recording …a rich bygone take on the stunning sound of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, that lifts with silvery harmonies and a rustic cinematic scope.”
