The Paste Studio is coming home. After shutting our Atlanta studio down at the beginning of the pandemic, we return to our hometown today and tomorrow for two days of music at our city’s largest brewery, Sweetwater Brewing Company in Midtown. We’re set up among hundreds of barrels of beer at The Woodlands—where Sweetwater ages all its barrel-series beers.
We’ll be live-streaming 10 bands in two days, starting at 12:15pm ET today with The Pink Stones. You can watch on our Youtube and Facebook channels, as well as right here on PasteMagazine.com, where you’ll be able to go back and listen to all of your favorites whenever you like.
