The Sandy Springs Arts Foundation is a presenting sponsor of City Green Live.

Better Than Ezra is an American alternative rock band based in New Orleans. Formed in 1988, the band has been playing continuously since then and are best known for their 1993 multi-platinum album Deluxe and the 1995 single "Good,” which reached number 1 on the Billboard chart.

May 26                                    Black Jacket Symphony Presents Fleetwood Mac
Rumours
Remember putting on an album and listening start to finish?  Relive that experience with a live concert by Black Jacket Symphony, recreating Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours album note for note, sound for sound—plus more of the band’s greatest hits. It’s a night of rock ‘n roll magic.

June 16                                   Anderson East
Anderson East is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter whose seductively vintage voice is also decidedly fresh. East’s influences meld seamlessly: R&B grooves, gospel-blues, and blasting brass. Known for his magnetic live shows, East has performed sold-out shows worldwide.

July 28                                    A1A (Tribute to Jimmy Buffett)
In 1992, A1A won a Jimmy Buffett sound-alike contest for Margaritaville Records and became an integral part of the Parrothead community with its colorful, family-friendly show. They have a great relationship with the official band, and draw record crowds to their performances.

August 18                              Grand Funk Railroad
Grand Funk is “comin’ to your town to help you party it down” on its 2023 Tour. GFR laid the groundwork for such bands as Foreigner, Van Halen and Bon Jovi with its signature hard-driving sound and soulful vocals, and its legacy still reigns over the Classic Rock landscape.

October 13                             Samantha Fish featuring Jesse Dayton
Samantha Fish and Jesse Dayton’s new collaboration, Death Wish Blues, was born from a shared passion for expanding the blues genre and connecting more deeply with audiences. Their 2023 tour melds both musicians’ eclectic sensibilities into potent and wildly combustible music.
