Harlem Bar is not just a favorite hangout for Atlanta's beautiful buppies (black urban professionals) looking to kick off their night with fruity mixed drinks and soul food tapas. It also occasionally plays host to some cool music events. This Thursday, Oct. 4, brings a special treat, as DJ Larmarrous' Beats & Eats, the popular Thursday weekly party, celebrates G&D, a potent partnership between future soul heroes Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins. The L.A.-based duo dropped a collaborative album, The Message Uni Versa, last Sept. 25 on Look Records. They aren't scheduled to be in the house, though, so hopefully we'll get an actual G&D concert, not just a listening party, in the months to come.
The night's real highlight, however, will be a performance by Leaf Newnan (pictured above), one of the more promising voices in the acoustic soul scene. For more than a year, Leaf has quietly organized Leaf Cool Eclectic, a singer/songwriter showcase at Mocha Match in Decatur. (Leaf Cool Eclectic is currently on hiatus, but is scheduled to return in the next few weeks.) She'll be taping her prime-time gig at Harlem Bar for a forthcoming live album, so she's asking fans to come out, tell the buppies at the bar to shut up when the song starts, and cheer loudly when she stops singing.
