The Loft in Columbus, GA
The Loft in Columbus, GA
In Columbus, GA. on Saturday Feb 9th, I ate at a very interesting eatery called Burt's Butcher Shoppe & Eatery. I had a fried pork-chop sandwich that was absolutely scrumptious. The mashed potatoes and cole slaw was slammin' to. It was a pleasant surprise to eat out in a city I didn't know anything about and leave feeling happy with my appetite satiated.
The Loft in the downtown area of Columbus had Devon Allman performing with his band. They were jammin' a Bob Marley classic, I forget which one, that could be heard at street level; because the Loft is an upstairs venue that has the feel of Eddie's Attic in Atlanta although, it's quite a bit larger.
I believe Devon Allman is the son of Greg and he looks to be thirty-something, I guess. He was very nice and gracious - he posed for a picture with me (of course) and I didn't have to twist his arm. His band is pretty funky too, Mark O on drums and Pedro was holdin' down the bottom on that bass. I got pix with them too. The actual name of their band is "HoneyTribe" or is that the name of their current CD? You can check them out on Myspace - of course.
Devon Allman played blues, reggae and a classic tune of his Dad's called Midnight something - you know the one. I had a great time and downtown Columus is the place to go when you're in Columbus, there's lots of entertainment, enough to keep everybody happy and I shall return.
