I would like to wish my readers a happy new year. I’m hoping that 2009 will bring us in touch with more great music as we head into our second year together here on the Atomic Finger blog. This week I scoped out a few bands close to home and got a fresh look at my own local music scene. There is no question that Atlanta is home to a rather diverse musical culture. Yet, like many places in the Deep South, you can usually find a good mix of southern rock and blues bands. I don’t know if it was the sound of the harmonica or the feel of the lead guitar, but when I stumbled across the Mike Lowry band, I just had to pause and enjoy the nicely crafted sound these guys brought to the table. Mike is no stranger to the rigors of being an entertainer. Early on, Lowry began his walk of fame as a child actor and commercial model. For more than 12-years, he has worked to make a name for himself in the music business. Now, three albums later, his music appears to take on a more balanced feel compared to his earlier work. But, don’t take my word for it. Check out the Mike Lowry band for yourself.
