The Sundogs and Gus’ Spaghetti Junction to Perform this Saturday in Emory Village

The 2024 Coca-Cola Clean Up the Creek Concert will feature Atlanta’s own Sundogs on Saturday, April 20, from 5 to 9 p.m. on the lawn in Emory Village as part of the Historic Druid Hills Spring Celebration. Gus’ Spaghetti Junction, a neighborhood favorite, will be the opening band.

The Sundogs, formed in the 2000s by brothers Will and Lee Haraway, grew up on the  music of Tom Petty. They harmonized on Full Moon Fever in Lee's bedroom after lights out, with Lee rocking the chords on an electric blue Memphis guitar that he got for his Confirmation.
 
After launching The Sundogs in Atlanta they found allies in lead guitarist, third singer and songwriter Jon Harris and keyboard wizard Kevin Thomas to build a big anthemic sound that always afforded putting a Tom Petty cover into nearly every set.
 
So it was a natural that in 2011, they launched "The Sundogs Present: The Tom Petty Show", playing every song an audience could possibly want to hear-- all the hits, a rotation of the b-sides, played and sung with reckless abandon, passion and fire for as long as the crowds wanted to cheer and sing along. They usually have a special guest or two. They are ALWAYS great.
 
Following Petty's lead, both The Sundogs and Jon Harris have recorded and released 10 albums of their own music since 2005, including "Embroidered Rose," released in July 2021 and Jon Harris' "Rag Tree" in December 2023. You can find all of their releases on all your favorite streaming services.

Spaghetti Junction will open the concert in the band’s return appearance to Emory Village. Led by Gus Garay, Spaghetti Junction caters to eclectic tastes and open minds with a diverse set list that includes everything from Elvis to Rush to Cake to the Eurythmics to Phish and Louis Armstrong.

The concert on the lawn at the corner of North Decatur and Oxford roads is free, but a limited number of front row seats at VIP tables for four are available. Cost is $150 and includes complimentary wine and other merch. For more info contact Don Walter at donwalter1011@gmail.com.

Produced by Emory Village Alliance, the concert will once again offer adult beverages for sale along with food from local vendors including Sweet Auburn Barbecue and Savi Provisions. Parking is available in Emory Village lots and Emory’s Fishburne and Oxford Decks.
