R&B legend, Andre Reynolds, plays Star Bar on Friday September 1oth!
Here are the details:
Andre Williams & The Goldstars w/ Special Guests The Subsonics and The Mission Creeps / Friday September 10th / Star Bar / 437 Moreland Ave., L5P, Doors 9pm / 21+
On Friday September 10th, Star Bar will host Bloodshot Records Recording Artist Andre Williams.
With a mind-boggling 50 year career in the music business, 70-year old Andre Williams is showing no signs of slowing down. He is the original rapper and R&B performer and has recently been backed by such groups as John Spencer’s Blue Explosion, the Sadies, the Goldstars and many others. Atlanta’s own garage-rock superstars The Subsonics will also perform.
Andre “Mr. Rhythm” Williams is a R&B legend, and you may not even know it. He wrote “Shake A Tail Feather,” and sang such uber-raunch cult classics as “Bacon Fat” (covered by the Cramps), “Greasy Chicken,” and the epitome of songs about little girls, “Jail Bait.” He worked at seminal labels such as Motown, Chess, and Fortune. He wrote songs for, or produced folks Ike Turner, Parliament/Funkadelic, Edwin Starr and Stevie Wonder. The guy is like music’s version of Zelig; he’s been everywhere, man.
For his new album, Andre went back home to Detroit and cut a record of psychedelic soul-rock freakouts, growly 4am slow jams and hypnotic grooves with members of Outrageous Cherry, Dirt Bombs, Electric Six and super special guitarist Dennis Coffey of the legendary Motown house band the Funk Brothers.

On Thursday August 26th 4WH is teaming up with Mixtape Atlanta to present a bona fide good time at Star Community Bar. Join us for performances by Tyler Lyle, Little Horn, and Richard Sherfey. Doors at 9pm. Get there early! RSVP by clicking the poster below! For the love of local music, and thanks to Star Bar Atlanta, it’s free lovers, free!
Meet the artists:
TYLER LYLE (ATL) – “At his core, Tyler Lyle is an old soul from his rural hometown of Carrollton, Georgia. His voice has the sultry candor of age, with lyrics that are both original and boldly charming. Tyler’s husky, impressive vocals have already given way to three finished products: Some Songs EP, the online only Bare EP, and most recently, Notes From The Parade. With the use of a dizzying array of instruments — trumpets, banjo, flugelhorn, cymbals, glockenspiel, guitar, and harmonica — Tyler’s latest release emerges as a soundtrack for life.” Read more: http://www.tylerlyle.com/
LITTLE HORN (ATL) – “Struggles with the lingering haunts of peculiar religious doctrines as well as personal experiences with joy and sorrow are the main emotional drivers behind Little Horn and the musical style is a shimmering southern-style gothic folk.” Read more: http://littlehornmusic.com/
RICHARD SHERFEY (ATH) – Promising “hymns and beer drinking anthems,” visit Richard Sherfey at http://www.myspace.com/richardsherfey
