For several years, our friends at The Gnu’s Room have been presenting live music. Quite often, the artists they have had are people we would have booked at Sundilla, had the circumstances and the calendar been more favorable. Starting in 2013, there will be live music at The Gnu’s Room most every Tuesday, and on the third Tuesday of every month, the concert will be booked by Sundilla. Just like with our shows at the AUUF, we’ll be striving to bring the best of the best; these are concerts you will WANT to attend! The venue is a bit smaller, […] Read more »

Adventure the Great is an Auburn-based band that’s been building a sizable following around town. We had the good fortune of welcoming them as opening act during the 2012 concert season, where they were welcomed enthusiastically. Not long after, they released a self-titled EP. Our resident sound guy Kelly Walker profiled them for a radio feature heard on Birmingham’s WBHM 90.3 FM. Adventure the Great brings a lot of musicians and instruments to the stage, so it’s always good to see the entire band, but as you can see in this recent video, they’re great in an intimate setting, too!
