As the son of legendary jazz guitarist Grant Green (1931-1979), Grant Green Jr. was exposed to exceptional musicianship right from the start. Growing up in Detroit, Grant enjoyed a constant parade of jazz greats streaming through his living room. His neighbors like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight along with members of the Temptations and even Miles Davis were known to join impromptu jam sessions in their home. This year he released a new album “Soul Science” on Ropeadope Records.

Atlanta native Michelle Malone is “equal parts badass guitar slinger and sweet songstress” (Guitar World). Malone has is currently recording a new album, touring the U.S., as well as performing in a new band led by SugarLand’s Kristian Bush. Her shows are upbeat, personable, “raucous and jubilant” (Rolling Stone). She can make the biggest arena seem cozy as a campfire and an intimate venue feel like the center of the universe. Her live show is NOT to be missed. (Atlanta Journal).

James Hall began his career in Mary My Hope the legendary gloom merchants from Atlanta. He’s recorded with the Afghan Whigs, opened for Rage Against the Machine and performed live with Marylin Manson.

Atlanta’s Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics are the heirs to the thrones of the old-school masters. But they’re much more than just a group of revivalists trying to create a period piece. Powerhouse singer Velle and her band will settle for nothing less than bringing these classic sounds glimmering into the now with a fresh, new contemporary sheen.

Blair Crimmins began his current music career in Atlanta, Georgia, with a determination to bring Ragtime and 1920’s style Dixieland Jazz to new audiences. While playing small rock clubs around the Southeast he developed a sound that is at once modern while being deeply rooted in the past. Now four years, and five hundred shows later, he has toured the country playing large venues and has opened for acts such as Mumford & Sons and Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The band will be touring through 2017 performing their newest songs from the record as well as old favorites from his past recordings.

A�er getting creative, youngsters can relax and check out the live performers, musicians and storytellers just right for little ears and young audiences. Entertainment in the Kids Zone is o�ered by both young performers and seasoned professionals, so there is sure to be something to inspire the next generation of performers.

Thanks once again to Georgia Power for sponsoring the Kids Zone. Remember, in the Kids Zone, kids rule!

We’re thrilled that the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition will host a bike valet during the festival again this year. This means you can go green, ride to the festival and easily park for free at the Bike Valet. NEW LOCATION THIS YEAR! You’ll find it just inside the park next to the Milledge Fountain at the intersection of Milledge Ave and Cherokee Ave.

Grant Park is not just a neighborhood surrounding a park of the same name; it is a community. As such, the Summer Shade Festival welcomes numerous Community Partners to exhibit at the festival. We hope that in between listening to some live music, grabbing a beer, and perusing our Artist Market you will take the opportunity to talk with our community partners and learn how they are helping to make Grant Park such a wonderful place.

Parking is complimentary, but donations to the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition will be accepted to support the organization’s mission to create a healthier, more sustainable Atlanta by making it safer, easier and more attractive to bicycle for fun, fitness and transportation.

The Grant Park Conservancy (GPC) is a non-profit, membership-based organization. We are committed to the restoration, beautification and maintenance of historic Grant Park, Atlanta’s fourth largest park. GPC is funded entirely by donations. As such, we cannot make an impact in the park without your help! There are several ways you can get involved: Find us online at www.gpconservancy.org and click on “Donate.” Become a member at any level, purchase a commemorative brick for a loved one, or simply donate to the Conservancy. Visit our Farmers Market every Sunday from 9:00am until 1:00pm from April through December at Milledge Fountain and support local farmers and cra�speople. While membership is key to our success, we also need volunteers to help us with projects throughout the year. You can help by volunteering for projects such as mulching, planting, woodland restoration, trash removal and more. If you are interested in volunteering with the GPC, send an email to info@gpconservancy.org. Our current projects include the Milledge Triangle Initiative, upgrading the picnic areas throughout the park, focusing on woodland restoration and the park’s special tree canopy, and installing new trash cans to help fight litter. The Milledge Triangle Initiative is our most ambitious project to date, with a project budget of over $550,000. The Milledge Triangle is the area of Grant Park surrounding the Milledge Fountain at the intersection of Milledge Street and Cherokee Avenue. The Milledge Triangle is one of the most visited points in Grant Park. However, due to long-term neglect and lack of funds, the Milledge Fountain, as well as its surrounding features and greenspace, have fallen into significant disrepair. The Milledge Triangle Initiative will rejuvenate this key historic gateway – preserving and restoring its historic origins while simultaneously creating a beautiful place where park visitors can gather. But, we cannot make this project happen without the support of the community and our members! The Conservancy relies on your memberships, donations and participation to continue our mission. Visit our booth, and we’ll sign you up as a member today. You can purchase Summer Shade and GPC T- shirts, with all proceeds going to the Conservancy for park improvements. Please consider becoming a member and supporting the Conservancy today!
