SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Coming off the heels of a successful 2017 tour celebrating the sounds of Memphis, Take Me To The River - New Orleans LIVE! brings some of the most influential figures of modern New Orleans funk, R&B, soul and jazz, together on the same stage for a night of unforgettable music.

Take Me To The River originally began as a documentary film that followed multiple generations of Mississippi Delta and Memphis-based artists through the "creative process of recording a historic new album," the website notes. It's now a national initiative that includes a national tour showcasing the global impact of music from that region. Like the Memphis angle, the New Orleans tour will focus on iconic musicians from the Crescent City and explore the impact its sound has had on the industry.

Doors will open at 7 p.m., with the show getting underway at Byers Theater at 8 p.m. Ticket prices begin at $45 (plus applicable fees) and can be purchased here.

If you'd rather buy your tickets in-person, you can drop by the City Springs Box Office at 1 Galambos Way. Hours of operation are noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. You can also call 770-206-2022 for more information.
