“All the music you could ever want is literally at your fingertips here at Emory. Get online, find the music/artists you want, print out directions, and you can be there in minutes.
“If you’re looking for the raw, local music scene, you have to step off the beaten path. Churchill Grounds swings hard every Friday and Saturday night, hosting some of the best jazz combos in the South. The Apache Café downtown is a great spot for up and coming bands and R&B artists. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
