You’re hearing the strings that tell the real story of the South.

For this episode of Sounds Like ATL Opening Act, we’re sitting down with the incredibly talented banjo virtuoso, Lee Johnson. We’re exploring how she honors deep-rooted traditions while completely redefining what modern string music can be right here in Atlanta🪕

Lee is bringing that soul-stirring, intricate magic to the city streets. It’s raw, its grounding, and it’s the exact kind of musical storytelling your soul needs today. 🌾🎶

Time to get a mouthful at the Daily Chew!
You know that rare spot that manages to serve fine-dining-level plates without any of the exhausting pretension? That’s Daily Chew.
Hidden in plain sight on Cheshire Bridge, this is a place with fine dining level plates, women-owned, and no pretention on the plate with your delicious meal🍽️

☕This café is an absolute masterclass in storytelling. Founder Julia channels her South African roots—heavily inspired by her grandmother, a legendary Cape Town food writer—to create a menu that is as visually cinematic as it is nourishing. They work directly with local Georgia farmers, meaning every hyper-seasonal dish hits the table looking like a perfectly composed, vibrant piece of art🤎

Intensely community-focused, and exactly where you want to be when you need a morning coffee, are meeting a new client for an interview, or just want a beautifully crafted plate that tastes like someone cares.
