Judah & the Lion play the Tabernacle on Thursday, November 12, bringing The Boys Are Back Tour and a brand new album to Atlanta, with Breakfield opening, the night before a hometown Nashville show.

Judah & the Lion have always treated the live show as the main event, and The Boys Are Back Tour is the Nashville duo’s biggest swing at proving it. The tour reaches Atlanta on Thursday, November 12, for a 7:30 PM show at the Tabernacle, with Breakfield, the band formerly known as Boy Named Banjo, opening the night.

The tour supports the band’s sixth studio album, released in August, and it has been on the road since September, with the Atlanta date sitting inside a southeastern run that takes Judah & the Lion from Charlotte and Raleigh through St. Petersburg, then home to Nashville the night after Atlanta. That sequencing matters: bands play differently the night before a hometown show, and Atlanta gets a group with its foot down.

For anyone who has not kept up since “Take It All Back” made Judah Akers and Brian Macdonald unavoidable, the current version of the band is leaner and louder about it. The folk hop n’ roll blueprint, banjo and mandolin lines running through arena sized choruses, still anchors songs like “Suit and Jacket” and “Spirit,” but the new material was written for rooms the size of the Tabernacle, and the early stops on this tour have played like a band reclaiming its favorite identity: the one that turns a concert into a room wide singalong.

Breakfield are a draw in their own right, a Nashville Americana band with a decade of road behind them and a new name over the same lineup Atlanta may remember as Boy Named Banjo. Arrive early. Thursday night at the Tabernacle, this is the folk rock bill of the fall.

Orville Peck Brings the Man Turned Mule Tour to the Tabernacle on November 13

Orville Peck’s Man Turned Mule Tour reaches Atlanta on Friday, November 13, bringing the masked country singer’s most personal album to the Tabernacle stage, with rising country voice Abbie Callahan opening the night.

The Tabernacle gets one of the fall’s most distinctive country shows on Friday, November 13, when Orville Peck brings his Man Turned Mule Tour to Atlanta. The 8:00 PM show lands on the closing stretch of the North American run, just over a week before the tour wraps in Huntington, New York, and it carries the strongest record of Peck’s career.

That record is Mule, his fourth studio album, released September 18 through Warner Records and produced by Jay Joyce at Neon Cross Studio in Nashville. Warner calls it a candid, chronological account of his journey through addiction, sobriety and rebuilding a life bit by bit, and the songs hold to that: “Too Little, Too Late,” “Already Gone” and the “Prologue (Eulogy Of A Man Turned Mule),” which opens the album with Emmylou Harris, Noah Cyrus and Allison Russell harmonizing around him. Peck opened the album’s release night headlining the Hollywood Bowl, and he arrives in Atlanta with an autumn that also includes his film debut, playing Vega in the Street Fighter movie that reached theaters in October.

Abbie Callahan, who joined the tour in late October and opens every remaining date, makes the night a fuller bill. Her debut EP, Grossly Aware, marked her as one of country’s sharpest young writers, and the pairing of her plainspoken songs with Peck’s theatrical country noir is a natural one. There is a giving thread to the evening as well: one dollar from every North American tour ticket goes to The Trevor Project. Masked singer, candlelit back catalog, brand new confessional album, in a former church on Luckie Street: Friday night in Atlanta is set up to be the kind of show people describe for years.
