Homecoming 2016 40 Watt Club Athens, GA 2/11,12 & 13

HOMECOMING 2016
Y'all,
I'm thrilled to announce the 2016 HeAthen's Homecoming shows.
They will be Thursday, February 11th - Saturday, February 13th.
They will, as always, be at The Fabulous 40 Watt Club.
A portion of the income will go to Nuçi's Space.

This year the Thursday show will again kick off with The Camp Amped Band.
This has become an annual tradition and this year looks to be one of the best yet.
Next up will be Monsoon. They are one of the best of the bumper crop of great young bands in Athens. They're going to blow the doors off of the place. (Sienna from Monsoon is a former camper at Camp Amped. Supercool.)

On Friday night we will have a set from Dave Marr and his killer band.
Many might remember Dave from The Star Room Boys, one of our favorite bands back in their day. Dave took a very long hiatus and now is back with a great new album and fantastic band. Don't Miss This!
This will be followed by a short set from Will Johnson, who is playing both Friday and Saturday nights, by himself and perhaps a guest or two (or more).
He will be spotlighting songs from his amazing new album "Swan City Vampires".

On Saturday we will have a set from Five Eight.
5-8 was one of the best bands ever to come out of Athens and in recent years have been playing some of the most incredible shows ever (with their classic original lineup) showcasing songs from their recently reissued masterpiece "Weirdo" as well as their upcoming new release that could end up being their best album yet.
Don't Miss This!

DBT is really fired up for this year's HeAthen's Homecoming.
I can't wait to see all my Athens friends. The band will have just returned from our upcoming shows in Mexico and spotlighting songs from our recent live box set "It's Great To Be Alive!" and perhaps pulling out some hidden gems and showcasing some brand new songs.

In the meantime I want to thank all our friends who came out to our shows in Chicago and Madison this past weekend, we had a blast! We continue on the road playing in Bloomington IL tonight and then on to Chattanooga on Thursday and closing out the year with two nights in Nashville at the wonderful Cannery Ballroom! We are looking forward to it and hope to see some of you there. As always, ticket and show info is available at http://www.drivebytruckers.com.

See You at The Rock Show.

I think I might actually try and pull this off. I think that at long last I might actually make it to Athens, a place I have wanted to visit since I was a 15 year old R.E.M. addict.

Even though my other plans are pretty cool, the fear of missing out on Homecoming is real. I may just have to take a break from 3DD until after the 40 Watt shows.

LOL! The Stones in Buenos Aires? Come on, that's pretty cool. I'll just have to step up my DBT travel game for the rest of 2016.

Yeah, I was the same. That's what finally got me to go in 2009. If it all possible you must do it.

Be warned, sactochris.. It's not just something you can do once and check it off the list. Every year you'll have a better time and find yourself extending the trip. As you get to know more of the 3DD crew, as you get to know Athens better and have some bars/restaurants that you must hit, as DBT continue to just dominate the 40 Watt every night, etc.. The draw, nay, enchantment of the Homecoming run is a real and powerful thing.

Only way I'm missing Homecoming is if there's a zombie apocalypse.

My head is still spinning from Chicago and Madison, but I have my CCW shirt, so I have to be there.

That just might work man, she's a dog lover as well. I'll try that. We just got back from a pretty sweet vacation, so maybe the timing is right. Prolly work on it this weekend.
