Alan Jackson Playing Encore Park Oct. 4
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s not his native Newnan, but it’s close enough.
So we’ll call Alan Jackson’s just-announced date with the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park a homecoming, of sorts.
The country music superstar — whose label recently announced has passed the 50 million mark in album sales— will perform Oct. 4, and tickets go on sale this Saturday.
Ever seen Jackson perform live? Were you at the CD/book signing he did with his wife back in April, in Newnan?

So So Def Summerfest, Successful?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What Jermaine Dupri told us he’d like to see become an Essence Music Festival in Atlanta, certainly drew the kind of major names that headline New Orleans’ annual celebration.
But because of a shooting Friday night at Club Dreams, it also drew major — and certainly, unwanted — attention.
No suspects have been arrested yet, and the victim — a security guard —was reportedly treated for an injury to his arm, and released.
Dekalb County police spokesman Marcus Hodge told WSB-TV that some people got upset after they learned they were allegedly double-charged by security guards to enter the VIP section of the club.
Question: Why do you think people pay any amount just to stand in closer proximity to celebrities? (Usher, Diddy - being rushed out, above - Nelly, Dupri and actresses Gabrielle Union and Lisa Raye were at Dreams, the second “official” event of Dupri’s five-day-long, third annual So So Def Summerfest. He and Nelly hosted a “strip-off” Wednesday at the Body Tap, which was not listed on Dupri’s site as an “official” Summerfest activity ).
Were you at Dreams Friday night, and/or did you attend any of the Summerfest events that followed: the celebrity basketball game at Morehouse (where Dupri is pictured above, see our entire gallery HERE ), the White Party at the Woodruff Arts Center and the finale scheduled last night at the Velvet Room?
