Teri Shea sends along this note announcing she’s closing Rail Kitchen & Bar…

Good afternoon everybody!

I just wanted to thank all of you for your continued support of both Farmstead 303 and Rail kitchen & bar.

After a year and a half, I have decided to close the doors of this project. It has been a great experience as well as a learning one.

With today’s challenging economy, it has proven difficult for me to support two (2) ventures at the same time. Feast being my first born, I felt that all of my energy and efforts needed to be channeled into it’s continued success. After recently celebrating our 6th anniversary, I realized that it was important for me to focus on making Feast the best it could be.

I do hope that all of you can understand how hard it is for me to have to admit defeat. However, being the type of person I am, I will not let this chapter of my career affect my future successes.

I look forward to seeing you all at Feast!

Support your local restaurants. Eat out often!

Teri Shea

We couldn’t be prouder, nor more excited than to announce that The Blind Boys of Alabama will take the stage at Presser Hall at Agnes Scott on October 22nd, as part of the Eddie & Agnes concert series.

Plain and simple–this is the kind of act for which this series was formed.

From the band’s website:

” Celebrated by The Grammys and The National Endowment for the Arts with Lifetime Achievement Awards, inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, sung for two presidents in the White House and winners of five Grammy® Awards, they have attained the highest levels of achievement in a career that spans over 70 years and shows no signs of diminishing. Longevity and major awards aside, The Blind Boys have earned praise for their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel favorites to contemporary spiritual material by acclaimed songwriters such as Curtis Mayfield, Ben Harper, Eric Clapton, Prince and Tom Waits. Their performances have been experienced by millions on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman, the Grammy® Awards telecast, 60 Minutes, and on their own holiday PBS Special. The Blind Boys’ live shows are roof- raising musical events that appeal to audiences of all cultures, as evidenced by an international itinerary that has taken them to virtually every continent.”

Tickets available through the Eddie’s Attic website.
