The Bad Bitches of Country at Eddie’s set to close out Amplify weekend
If you’ve ever belted “Jolene” in the car or jumped in rhythm when Loretta sang, “You ain’t woman enough,” then you already know that country music’s fiercest voices have always belonged to the bad bitches. And this Sunday, April 27, their music is taking center stage at the iconic Eddie’s Attic to close out the Amplify Decatur Music Festival in true queen fashion.
“Amplify Presents: The Bad Bitches of Country” is a full-throttle tribute to the trailblazing women who’ve shaped, shook and changed the country music scene. From the unapologetic sass of Shania and the grit of Miranda, to the boundary-breaking power of Beyoncé’s genre-blending brilliance, it’s a night for honoring the women who don’t ask permission, and sure as hell don’t ask forgiveness.
Hosted byAtlanta-based comedian, actress and host of the “Davi The Scape G.O.A.T.” podcast Davi Crimmins, the lineup of your favorite local artists promise a night of boot-stompin’ renditions of country’s greatest hits—sung with all the soul, swagger and grit they deserve. Expect powerhouse vocals, unforgettable covers and the perfect vibe to kick-off your summer.
