Michael Jones

Thursday December 11th

Rooted in the red dirt spirit of Americana, Michael Jones brings a voice of honesty and heart to every stage he steps onto. Blending folk storytelling, country soul, and a touch of Southern grit, his songs capture the quiet truths of everyday life — love, loss, and the miles in between.

In a day and age where we’ve drifted from genuine human connection and the humanity within our music, Jones stands firmly in the opposite direction — reminding audiences that a song can still make you feel something real.

Armed with his guitar and a sound shaped by artists like John Prine, Jason Isbell and the Turnpike Troubadours, Jones creates an atmosphere that feels equal parts front porch and backroom bar. His live shows are intimate, conversational, and filled with moments that remind you why you fell in love with live music in the first place.

Based in Smyrna, Georgia, Michael performs under the banner Real Music for Real People — a simple promise that every lyric, every laugh, and every note comes straight from the heart.

David MacDougall started his music career at the early age of 7 years old when his father purchased him a Yamaha Acoustic Guitar.  After learning the basic chords, he started taking group guitar lessons where he learned the POP songs of the 70s era (James Taylor, Jim Croce, Beatles, Crosby Stills).  In high school he and PETER THIEMAN (drummer) formed ALTER EGO, a garage band with some of the neighborhood kids and went on to play local gigs at school dances, parties and talent shows.  From there he carried his talent to college and met up with bass player TIM DOYLE and formed URBAN COUCH, an indie rock group that achieved some regional fame around the OHIO, WEST VIRGINIA area in the late 1980s.  After college, David joined up with THE CLASSICS showband and toured the US and Caribbean playing concerts, state fairs, cruise ships, and casinos.  In 1995 he and some other local Atlanta musicians scored a house gig at OTTOS nightclub in Buckhead playing jazz and pop favorites of the time.  David went on to start playing piano at many different night clubs and restaurants, focusing on singing and playing a variety of standards and originals.  He has played in several CORPORATE bands and has performed at countless weddings, clubs and private events.  Moving to KEY WEST FL in 2010, David furthered his music career playing local bars with a focus on original island music which was the foundation for his CD creation in 2012 “ISLAND TIME”  Since then he has played with PLATINUM music group, GWEN HUGHES and the RETRO JAZZ KATS and various other bands/musician in all types of situations.

Friday December 26th

Bob and Deborah met years ago while working at The Coca-Cola Company and bonded over their shared love of playing music.  After years of diverse musical experiences separately, they decided to form a duo to perform classic rock, blues and pop.  Bob played in various rock bands while Deborah sang opera and performed in local theater productions.  Both are local to the Vinings/Smyrna area are excited to play at The Attic Bar at Old Vinings Inn.

Steve Rey is a Vinings-raised singer-songwriter whose acoustic style is deeply rooted in the sounds of the 1970’s.  Influenced by iconic groups like The Eagles and Van Morrison, his performances blend heartfelt melodies with nostalgic setlists that invite audiences to sing along and reminisce.

Steve’s connection to the Old Vinings Inn Attic Bar is more than musical, it’s personal.  In the early 1970’s, his mother owned an antique shop called The Top of Vinings in the very space that now houses The Attic Bar, making his performances there a return to his roots.
