Hiss Golden Messenger in Atlanta

Hiss Golden Messenger, the American folk band formed in Durham, North Carolina, in 2007 and led by MC Taylor, brings its genre-blending sound to Atlanta. The band’s music draws from folk, country, soul, blues, rock, and even dub and gospel, earning them comparisons to Will Oldham and Bill Callahan. Their 2019 album Terms of Surrender received a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album, and they have performed at festivals like Newport Folk Festival.

The band’s performances are known for blending introspective songwriting with soulful, roots-infused arrangements. This Atlanta show offers a chance to hear one of modern Americana’s most acclaimed acts in an intimate live setting.
