Atlanta Music Critic (AMC) and friend ventured to Decatur, GA
to enjoy an evening at Eddie's Attic, a wonderful little restaurant and
performing space. Eddie's (http://www.eddiesattic.com/)
provides a rich schedule of a broad range of musicians and good food at
reasonable prices.
Last evening The Luna Strings (http://www.lunastrings.com) were
the featured performers. The Lunas are
three delightful string players who play a variety of pop and light classical music. They arrange the music themselves. They are accomplished, enjoy what they do,
and know how to please an audience.
For AMC, the best of their program included a wonderful arrangement of John Lennon's "Imagine" and Piazolla's "Libertango." Other crowd pleasers included Queen's "We will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions." These were surprisingly effective arrangements that got the crowd singing and stamping their feet.
The Lunas asked for suggestions about songs they should
arrange for future performances. AMC
suggests the Moody Blues "Nights in White Satin" Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"- yes
its overplayed but still a beautiful piece.
So if you live in the Atlanta area, and want to have a thoroughly
enjoyable evening, try to catch the Luna Strings or spend an evening at
Eddies'. AMC thinks you will have a great
time!
They are performing the same program again on Saturday February 23rd at 7:00 pm at Kimball Hall in Roswell Ga!
