For Sale: Doria Roberts' Blackeye Susan Box

We'll have photos up from the Doria Roberts in-store soon, but in the meantime, we wanted to let you know that we now have her Blackeyed Susan box for sale in the store. For $40, you get a gorgeous, handcrafted box, the CD itself, a picture of Doria and Odetta (with Doria's words about Odetta on the back), some beautifully designed seed paper for planting, some black tea, jewelry from Smart Glass (a $70 value!), a coupon to Urban Cannibals and more. Truly, it's a fantastic deal.

Doria Roberts In-Store: TONIGHT!

Don't forget, folks: We've got the one and only Doria Roberts here tonight. It's the CD-release party for her gorgeous box set (pictured above), Blackeyed Susan. More details below from the most-recent DCD newsletter:

Doria has offered up some sweet incentives to make this event even more fun. For starters, she's putting golden-ticket styled prizes in random box sets that she'll be selling here that night. Anyone who purchases one has a chance at music-related prizes such as tickets to see Ben Harper at the Tabernacle, Blind Boys of Alabama at Agnes Scott and the show of your choosing at Eddie's Attic. Meanwhile, every single box will have a $5 gift certificate for Doria's store in East Atlanta, Urban Cannibals. Frankly, we're pretty floored by the awesomeness of this. It's just one of the many reasons you should vote with your dollar and shop local.

See you at 7:30pm, folks!

Doria Roberts CD Release Party

On Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 7:30 p.m., the one and only Doria Roberts will pay us another visit for the official Blackeyed Susan CD release party. She's got a Facebook event page set up for the evening, which promises "food, wine, music and giveaways," which are four things we are totally all about. Something else we're totally all about? Finely crafted, locally made box sets, which is exactly what she'll be bringing to this in-store and selling directly to y'all in the form of Blackeyed Susan. We're looking forward to it.

Doria Roberts Photos

Thanks to everyone who came out last night! It was great to have Doria Roberts play the store and kick off our Arts Festival weekend. Doria brought some delicious okies from Phickles Pickles, and treated us to a bunch of songs to boot! Go visit her East Atlanta bodega, Urban Cannibals, when you get a chance. Buy local! Also, we took a few photos last night. Please enjoy.
