I feel that I should have trained for a marathon. Shaky Knees Music Festival is an onslaught of awesome music (obviously you can’t have a music festival without music) over five stages. The venue was changed this year to Central Park in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta and with 17 acres to help separate the stages I was definitely getting a workout.
Wilco, Flogging Molly, Interpol and Social Distortion were just a few of the bands that played on Saturday, leading up to The Avett Brothers to close out the evening. With such a wide range of music showcased it’s no wonder the festival draws tens of thousands of people each year!
