The Pink Stones with Jesh Yancey at The Velvet Elk Lounge

Made up almost entirely of Athens musicians who play in other bands around town (including former members of the Drive-By Truckers and the Glands) The Pink Stones match their frontman’s vast musical vocabulary while adding their own twists to spacey honkytonk pedal-to-the-metal trucker anthems and ecstatic gospel. Together they have the range to be whatever they need to be at any given moment embracing the spirit of musical freedom that has animated the local music scene for more than forty years. Yet The Pink Stones sound like no other Athens band. “We have the space to be free here in Athens and do whatever we want” says Pinkston. “We get to do our own thing and there are a million other really good bands doing their own things here as well. Everyone is friends with everyone else and everyone’s doing something constantly so you’re always hearing something new. And you always have to stay on your toes.”

Bar opens at 5 PM and happy hour from open to 7 PM. (21+) The Velvet Elk Lounge does not allow minors - No Exceptions.
