What’s been lovingly referred to as the “New New Brookland Tavern” by Columbia denizens, (or maybe just me) the freshly relocated Columbia staple New Brookland Tavern in the former Cotton Gin bar has reenergized the nightlife of Five Points and continued to bring communities together. There is a show for everyone there, and with new programming taking place almost every day, there is no shortage of things to do.
On Sunday, July 21, from 6 – 11 p.m., grab a ticket for Daddy Lion, Husband, and Moses & the Wilderness. The concert focuses on celebrating ten years of “introspective indie pop.” It also functions as a touching reunion for Daddy Lion, a dream pop group whose lead singer Jeremy Joseph moved away from Columbia not too long ago. The electro-pop duo Husband consists of resident Jasper Board of Directors member and Managing Director Bekah Rice, along with her husband Adam Corbett. The duo features local sound engineer MIDIMarc in this performance as well. Moses & the Wilderness is the solo project of Moses Andrews III, a live performer and session musician that brings soul and wit to any genre. Tickets for the show are available online for $10 before fees..
Join Mirci at New Brookland Tavern on Wednesday, July 31 for a family-friendly night of comedy, Laugh Therapy, presented by Healthy Laughter. Featuring side-splitting stand-up sets by Comedian Akintunde and "Atlanta's Best Clean Comedian" Joel Byars. Beats courtesy of your DJ & host for the night, Preach Jacobs. Participate in raffles, mental health trivia, and more! Entry is $9.88 to honor the Suicide & Crisis Prevention Lifeline. Proceeds from ticket sales go towards Mirci and supporting their mission. Tickets are available online or at the door.
