    Decatur Artist Community Continues to Grow

    Decatur Metro | November 14, 2007 | 9:59 am

    Folk and children’s music singer John McCutcheon has packed his bags and moved from Charlottesville, Virginia to the edge Decatur, GA. Charlottesville’s “The Hook” weekly newspaper morns the loss.

    “Atlanta feels like it has a really interesting, dynamic, working musical community,” he says. “The best acoustic venue is five minute from my house.”

    That would be Eddie’s Attic, a listening room favored by Sugarland, who have also asked about collaborating with McCutcheon. It seems he’s already started to find his place there.

    Sure enough, a show in December has him playing at a benefit concert in a local high school. “I remember going to play at my kids’ elementary school, and they had a big poster over the stage that said ‘Welcome Will and Peter’s Dad.’ And I thought, ‘That’s who I am here.’”

    If you’re looking to see McCutcheon in performance, his webpage says that he’ll be performing at Druid Hills High School on Dec. 16th.
