🎶 Decatur Amplified is back! 🎶

Join us Friday, September 25 at 7 p.m. on the new downtown Decatur stage for a FREE concert featuring Run Katie Run!

And yes, we noticed the date: 9/25 = Nine to Five. Since the internet has unofficially declared it Dolly Day 🦋, you can bet there’ll be a little Dolly in the mix. And who better to deliver it than Run Katie Run—a band that’s performed a residency at Dollywood and has its very own Dolly tribute show, Here I Come Again? ✨

Bring the family, grab dinner or drinks downtown, and come enjoy an evening of great live music in the heart of Decatur.

🎤 Run Katie Run
📅 Friday, September 25
⏰ 7 p.m.
📍 Downtown Decatur’s new stage
🎟️ FREE!

We’ll see you on the Square—and remember: working 9 to 5 is a whole lot easier when you’ve got somewhere to go at 7. 😉🎶

Which Beach Boys era is the best Beach Boys era? 🌊🎶

The squeaky-clean, striped-shirt surfers of the ’60s? The psychedelic, Transcendental Meditation groovy guys of the ’70s? The day-glo, Full House-era soft rockers of the ’80s?

Cast your vote THIS FRIDAY at Celebrating The Beach Boys: The Sounds of Summer’s End at Eddie’s Attic! ☀️

You’ll hear favorites from across the decades brought to life by Story Ghost, Will Harraway of The Sundogs, The Wowee Zowees, The Hamstrings, and Mike Killeen.

🌊 Wouldn’t it be nice to send summer out with some Good Vibrations? ☀️🎶

Join us on September 18 at Eddie's Attic for "Celebrating The Beach Boys: The Sounds of Summer’s End," featuring some of our favorite local artists putting their own spin on the unforgettable songs and harmonies of The Beach Boys.

From “In My Room” and “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” to “God Only Knows” and more, we’re celebrating the music that sounds like sunshine, salt air, and summer itself. 🏄‍♂️🌴

We’ll bring the harmonies. You bring the Good Vibrations.

🎟️ God only knows how fast these tickets might go… get yours today!

Celebrating The Beach Boys: The Sounds of Summer’s End Live Music Venue in Atlanta, GA

Two years ago, Amplify broke the formula of our traditional “Versus” shows to celebrate an artist who simply had no equal: “Dolly Parton Versus No One (Because No One Compares).”

It became one of our most beloved nights ever at Eddie's Attic, and we still think about the joy that filled that packed room as some of our favorite powerhouse local female artists—Amber Humphries of Story Ghost, Ansley Stewart Sings, Polly Holliday, Robin Shakedown, and Run Katie Run—celebrated Dolly and the extraordinary music she gave the world.

Today, everyone at Amplify is mourning the loss of a truly singular musician, songwriter, humanitarian, philanthropist, and human being. Dolly Parton spent a lifetime bringing people together through music, humor, generosity, kindness, and an enormous heart—and she leaves the world immeasurably better than she found it.

We called that show “Dolly Parton Versus No One” for a reason.

No one compares. And no one ever will. ❤️
