Live At Five with Anna Kramer & The Lost Cause and The Selmanaires September 25, 2008

For the second year in a row, The Georgia Music Hall of Fame is bringing its “Live at Five” performance series to Atlanta with a series of five Thursday evening performances by well-known and rising Georgia musicians beginning Aug. 28. Performances will take place at 5 p.m. at the Hard Rock Café at the intersection of Peachtree Street and International Boulevard in the heart of downtown. Admission is $5, with proceeds benefiting MIKE, the museum’s Music in Kids’ Education program.

The Sept. 25 event features Anna Kramer & The Lost Cause with The Selmanaires.

Anna Kramer & The Lost Cause — Named best local singer/songwriter by Atlanta’s Creative Loafing and called “a little lady with a big guitar,” Atlanta’s Anna Kramer has turned heads with her International Hits debut, which followed a buzzed-about independent album. Ably backed by her rhythm section, Kramer’s music has earned comparisons to everyone from Lucinda Williams to The Rolling Stones.

The Selmanaires — Named after the address of their first practice space, on Selman Street in Atlanta’s Reynoldstown neighborhood, this Atlanta indie-rock quartet has earned local and national critical raves for their angular, rhythmic music, hearkening back to the best of the post-punk era while pushing those sounds admirably forward.
