Comments

 
Adair Park has announced two musical acts to perform live at the 2022 Porches and Pies Festival.

Ansley Stewart is a Soul Americana artist based in Atlanta, GA. She embraces her southern roots by bringing storytelling to her sound, creating music that is heartfelt and nostalgic. She has become a fixture in the local music scene over the past 7 years and is currently working on her second studio album to be released summer of 2022.

Grammy award winning tenor saxophonist Kebbi Williams is one of contemporary music’s whirlwind improvisers. The imaginative multi-instrumentalist/ composer/producer/arranger/teacher resists categorization. His innovative sound dives, blends and jumpstarts all music genres. Kebbi bends it to his will with his robust, distinct blasts.  His playing and compositions create a sound that is uniquely and undeniably his own. Avant-garde jazz, hip-hop, Afro-beat, gospel, electronica, classical and fiery rock are all loops that Kebbi interweaves with passion and edge. 

Presented by MET Atlanta, Porches and Pies fest returns to Adair Park 1 on Sat., Sept. 24 from 12-5 p.m. The event is free to attend. In addition to live performances, attendees can enjoy sampling pies from the bake-off featuring sweet and savory pies from Atlanta home bakers and pastry chefs, a kids zone, artist market, beer garden and more.
