The tour highlights her debut album, nature is healing, which explores connection over escapism through cutting-edge electronics that glide from balearic and electroclash to meditative downtempo, euphoric house, and pounding gabber. The project features contributions from A.G. Cook, Nomak, Casey MQ, Margo XS, Elof Loelv, FREE Jimi, Suena, and close collaborator Luvhuntah, and it weaves in recordings of animals, global percussion, accordion, and pan flute to underscore themes of interconnection and belonging.

Intermediate options require familiarity with the studio syllabus and teacher approval to keep everyone progressing together. The cost is $25 per class. For questions, call (404) 444-0444.

    Mastodon

    Atlanta · The Eastern, 777 Memorial Drive SE

    Presented by Zero Mile Presents, Mastodon headlines The Eastern in Atlanta with Deafheaven and Alcest. This event is open to all ages. The Atlanta-born quartet of Brann Dailor, Brent Hinds, Bill Kelliher, and Troy Sanders has stayed together for over two decades, channeling personal loss and hard-earned perseverance into music that continually pushes heavy rock forward. Their double album Hushed and Grim, created in memory of their late manager Nick John, stretches to 88 minutes and blends surging metal with reflective, emotionally direct songwriting. Produced by David Bottrill, it includes contributions from Marcus King, Kim Thayil, and Jody Sanders, and threads influences that range from post-hardcore to Southern rock. Mastodon helped redefine modern metal with albums like Leviathan and later earned a Grammy for Best Metal Performance with Sultan’s Curse, with Emperor of Sand also receiving a Best Rock Album nomination and its lead single breaking into the upper reaches of the Mainstream Rock chart. Their work has crossed into television, film, and comics, yet it is on stage where massive riffs, seismic bass, and intricate drumming meet melodic vocals and unguarded lyricism. Deafheaven and Alcest round out a bill that showcases expansive, heavy sounds from across the spectrum.

    Farmers Market

    Atlanta · Atlantic Station, 1380 Atlantic Dr NW

    Free

    A producer focused farmers market at Atlantic Station operates alongside the long running Creator’s Market, now in its tenth year. It connects farmers, growers, and food makers with residents who want direct access to the people behind their food. The recent closure of the Publix at Atlantic Station has left thousands of people within the 138 acre neighborhood without convenient, walkable options for fresh produce, meats, eggs, bread, and everyday staples. Add nearby Midtown and Westside communities and steady weekend foot traffic that brings roughly nine million visitors each year, and the result is strong demand from potential repeat customers. Offerings emphasize fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry and eggs, dairy and cheeses, breads and baked goods, honey, preserves and sauces, along with flowers, fresh drinks, teas, specialty foods, and more. Additional product categories may be accommodated within the farmers market or the broader Creator’s Market that happens each weekend. The vendor rate is $39, and vendors may be able to participate for the full hours of the Creator’s Market, with further details available online.

    Protect Your Light Workshop: Spiritual Hygiene for Healers

    Atlanta · Healing Hands Reiki & Spiritual Development, 27 Waddell St NE

    Protect Your Light is an immersive spiritual hygiene workshop created for healers, empaths, and energy workers who want to fortify their own energy through cleansing, protection, and self-sovereignty practices rooted in ancestral and holistic traditions. With guided, hands-on work in time-honored rituals and modern techniques, the experience supports clarity, balance, and alignment so you can show up grounded in every healing space. Participants explore how to build a living relationship with their ancestors through offerings, prayer, and altar tending that anchor and protect their path. Care for the Ori, the inner divine consciousness associated with the crown, is emphasized through daily practices such as head coverings, affirmations, guided meditation, and cleansing to keep the mind clear and purpose aligned. The art of spiritual bathing is taught using herbs, oils, salts, and focused intention, and everyone creates a personalized blend while learning the meaning behind each ingredient. Candle work is covered from color selection to anointing, adding herbs, and setting intentions for healing, protection, and manifestation, creating a focused channel for spiritual guidance. Grounding and energy alignment practices help reinforce sovereignty over mind, body, and spirit while shielding from external influences. Participants also craft and speak personal spiritual decrees and affirmations that call upon ancestors, guides, and divine forces for protection and the strengthening of the energetic field. Attendees leave with practical skills for cleansing and protection, a deeper connection with ancestors and guides, a custom bath and candle recipe, daily tools to honor the Ori, and confidence in spiritual authority and alignment. This workshop serves Reiki practitioners, energy healers, yoga teachers, spiritual coaches, and anyone seeking reliable methods to maintain energetic purity and protection. Protect your light, honor your Ori, and stand in your power. Your energy is sacred, keep it clear, sovereign, and strong. The workshop is facilitated by Tiffany N. Monroe, B.S., M.A., Ed.S, Founder and CEO of Healing Hands Reiki & Spiritual Development, Inc., a Usui/Holy Fire III and Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master Teacher, Sekhmet and Seichim Master Teacher, member of the Reiki Healing Association, the Reiki Members Association, and the International Association of Reiki Professionals, an Ashtanga Yoga student and assistant at Ashtanga Yoga Atlanta, RYT500, meditation facilitator, biochemist and product developer, educator at secondary and university levels, and an ordained minister. Healing Hands Reiki, Inc. is recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and donations are tax deductible.

    Jackson Chase

    Cumming · Lou Sobh Amphitheater, 423 Canton Road

    Jackson Chase takes the stage at the Lou Sobh Amphitheater as part of the Summer Concert Series presented by The Providence Group. Hailing from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, he has been singing since age three, first with family at home, then in church and school, and later in talent competitions. At 12, encouraged by a family friend, he entered a local contest that led to a trip to Los Angeles, where he captured first place at a national event. That milestone set him on a full-time musical path, learning guitar and writing his own songs. His sound blends country, blues, and rock, a mix he calls southern soul and rock and roll. Influences include the Eagles, Merle Haggard, Chris Stapleton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Elvis, and Glen Campbell, and listeners often compare his style to a cross between the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd. He has recorded with country legend John Anderson and has opened for Aaron Tippin, Sammy Kershaw, Collin Raye, Diamond Rio, T. Graham Brown, Adam Hood, Drivin N Cryin, and others. He began touring in 2022, performing more than 85 shows in the first nine months, including Nashville’s Station Inn with Carl Jackson and Larry Cordle. He received Up N Country’s Stepping Up Award as best new artist in 2022 and has since surpassed 400 shows nationwide, from Orlando to Washington, DC to Los Angeles. In July 2024 he signed with manager Allen Mitchell at Erv Woolsey Management. Admission and parking are free. Coolers, outside food or alcohol, cans, glass containers, and smoking are not permitted. Bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating, and note that tents are not allowed. Leashed dogs are welcome.

    Ekphrasis for the Masses

    Gainesville · Quinlan Visual Arts Center, 514 Green St NW

    Ekphrasis takes center stage at the Quinlan in a welcoming session where poetry grows out of close looking.

The gathering is open to everyone and offers gentle guidance on multiple ways to begin, such as noticing what is visible, imagining what lies beyond the frame, speaking in the artist’s voice, giving a figure in the image something to say, or articulating a personal reaction. Regular walks through the galleries have sparked rich discoveries for artists, readers, and poets, with many returning to uncover new nuances. Writers and poets of any experience level are welcome. Participants may settle in near a favorite piece with a chair provided by staff, step into the Sculpture Garden for fresh air, or take a photo of a work to continue writing at their own pace.
