My friend of mine is thinking of relocating to Atlanta from Chicago. His wife's company has requested that she move down there since the corporate HQ is there, otherwise she will probably be laid off. She is the breadwinner in the family so this is something to consider seriously.
He is in his mid 40s and plays guitar in a couple of classic rock bands here in Chicago, and basically is assuming that he would need to learn to play Lynyrd Skynyrd and southern rock songs or rap if he was going to get in some bands in ATL. His background is in 70's hard rock and metal.....Nugent, UFO, Deep Purple, Rainbow. He has great vocal range and sings like Paul Stanley or Dave Meniketti (Y&T). Can somebody tell me what the bar scene is like for cover bands, and do you think he may find some like minded folks and places to play to potentially ease his mind about moving to Atlanta? Is there a known source that he could research to find out more about the Atlanta rock scene? In the Chicago area, we have a free newspaper/website called the Illinois Entertainer. Appreciate your input. Thanks!
