About —

Live songs performed by Atlanta native Huey, and touring artists Zoe Lemon and Shlomo Franklin.

Born and raised in Atlanta, Ga., Huey’s songwriting is rooted in southern folk music. Heart-clenching and poignant lyrics married with folk, sometimes even jazz, melodies, Huey's songwriting reflects the emotions that she’s embedded in her music.

Zoe (rhymes with toe!) Lemon is a violinist, songwriter, and holds the Guiness World Record for biggest klutz. Her music is introspective, full of layered strings, and warm vocals.

Her debut EP, Tailspin, was featured on WXPN, WKDU, and NPR. Last year, she released an EP titled A Coin in the Mouth of a Fish—a collection written during a season when she felt like she wasn’t measuring up to her own expectations. With this new release, she’s touring a lot and selling colorful merch.

Shlomo Franklin is an American singer/songwriter born on a small cow farm in upstate New York. Raised off the cultural grid, without music, television, or radio, his songs are strongly influenced by his cult-like religious upbringing. Shlomo released his debut album in 2019 which was produced by Grammy Award winner C Lanzbom and released a double album follow up from his now Nashville, TN home. Franklin has opened up for Jakob Dylan and The Wallflowers and shared festivals with The Nude Party and The Bones of JR Jones.

Commune is excited to present an evening of solo sets by Golden Arrow and Oakley Munson.

Golden Arrow is rock and roll punk by Joe Bradley. Former and founding member of the Black Lips returns to the stage as Golden Arrow. Crushed and refined by heat and time, the moment to draw back and release is nigh. Propel your senses upward and indulge in the piercing energy of this 1-man-band.

Oakley Munson had been touring on and off with different bands since he was 16. He stays busy playing stripped down acoustic shows in between dates with his current band the Black Lips. He’s singing songs he cowrote with the Atlanta legends and former groups the Rondelles, the Witnesses, Puddin Tang, the Shine Brothers and a few new ones made up during long van rides and in the purgatory of  green rooms around the world.

“My music is the spiritual expression of what I am — my faith, my knowledge, my being...When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hangups...I want to speak to their souls.”
