The music produced at Muscle Shoals studio is legendary: Paul Simon (“Kodachrome”), Bob Seger (“Old Time Rock and Roll”), Bob Dylan (“Gotta Serve Somebody”), Lynyrd Skynyrd (“One More Time”) and The Rolling Stones (“Wild Horses”) are a mere smattering of artists whose work was crafted in the unassuming building in Sheffield, Ala.
On Saturday, the Atlanta History Center and ATL Collective will partner to pay tribute to Muscle Shoals Alabama with a lineup of local and national acts, including Alabama’s Lee Bains III and the Glory Fires as well as a house band stocked with noted Atlanta musicians.
The ATL Collective is known for replicating classic albums live and in recent years have tackled The Beatles' "Abbey Road," Sade's "Love Deluxe" and Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life." Last summer, the Collective teamed with the Atlanta History Center for a rundown of The Allman Brothers' landmark, "Eat a Peach."
In addition to music, the Saturday event will feature Alabama and Georgia inspired barbecue, cash bars and access to the Atlanta History Center exhibitions before the music kicks in.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; show time is 8 p.m. Tickets are $40 in advance and include free admission to the Atlanta History Center.
