Matilda’s Music Under The Pines - A Hidden Gem in Alpharetta
categories: Local Information, Miscellaneous
I’ve run into more than a few people lately who have said, “I’ve heard of that, it sounds like fun I should really go”. Well the concert series runs through the end of October so if you haven’t yet, you should really check out Matilda’s Under the Pines one Friday or Saturday night before then.
If you don’t know about Matilda’s, let me paint you a picture. Just south of Alpharetta, on Hwy 9 there are a collection of funky little cottages full of artwork, painted furniture and crafts from a wide range of local artists. Mary Jane Potter has created something you won’t find anywhere else and once you visit you’ll wonder how you ever missed it (although you’ve probably driven by it a thousand times).
Easy, Casual and Fun:The music usually starts around 8:30pm every Friday and Saturday and it’s $10 ea. to get in. There are tables and chairs or you can bring your own, along with a picnic basket of food and the drink of your choice. But if you decide to go at the last minute, don’t worry. There is great barbecue for sale - just bring your cooler and stroll on in.
This past Saturday the Barn Rats played some great bluegrass and the weather was perfect. In this economy who isn’t looking for an easy, inexpensive, fun night out? An how cool is it to relax with a glass of wine or cold beer and listen to live music being played on the front porch of a little shack in Alpharetta? I’m looking forward to hearing some blues this weekend. Oh, by the way, your dog is welcome too! If you go, let me know what you think and say hi to Mary Jane (on the right below)!
