THIS WEEKEND'S LINEUP
Riley Stillwagon is a multi-instrumentalist whose passion for music began the moment he heard “Sweet Leaf” by Black Sabbath as a child. Drawing from influences across all genres, Riley enjoys songwriting, playing rhythm guitar, and singing in the alternative-rock band Recess Party. When he is not with a band, he enjoys more toned-down acoustic sets with strong singer-songwriter influence. Having played all over Georgia for the past 8 years, Riley has amassed an array of covers and originals that carry an audience through an entertaining set, no matter the environment.
