Ticket Alternative's new and notable shows

Each week, our pal Leila at Ticket Alternative sends us an e-mail listing all the brand-new, freshly-announced, hot-off-the-presses Ticket Alternative shows. Starting today, we're going to post this e-mail on the blog for y'all's information. Think of it as a sister post of sorts to our semi-regular monthly show calendar (and yes, we realize May is late, shush!) postings. Fun stuff, right? Here goes:

Handsome Furs July 14 @ Earl - went on sale May 1

Atlanta Jazz Fest - we're selling tickets for three events, two remaining are Jazzy Cocktail Soiree (May 15), AJF Late Night Jazz Jam Featuring Jaspects (May 23)

500 Songs for Kids - Finishes Saturday

Old School Saturday - May 16, always a big seller

Gary Pfaff May 16 @ Smiths - we're doing a giveaway for a house show with Gary for one lucky person who buys a ticket for this show

KRS-One and a bunch of big Atlanta rappers May 21 @ The Loft, just added

Our only remaining Sugar Hill event, Anthony David/Jaguar Wright, May 16, has been canceled, since the venue has now sadly closed.

Evergrey's May 29 show at the Masquerade was canceled, after having already moved the gig from The Local Venue. This was already a show which had been rescheduled from some months back.
