The road to Billy Strings in Atlanta kicks off with Peaches & Strings II, returning to Westside Motor Lounge on Saturday, February 22, from 12-4 p.m. Following last year’s electrifying debut, this free-spirited pre-party and vendor market is back, promising an afternoon filled with live music, local artists, and vibrant community energy.
Just a short walk from State Farm Arena, Westside Motor Lounge is the ideal rally point before the show. The outdoor courtyard will be alive with the soulful sounds of Dusty Roads, a Georgia-grown band blending bluegrass, folk, and Southern rock. Between sets, guests can explore a curated lineup of local artisans featuring tie-dye apparel, handcrafted jewelry, psychedelic artwork, and unique festival finds. Whether you’re refreshing your festival wardrobe or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Peaches & Strings II is the ultimate warm-up to the main event.
Westside Motor Lounge will keep spirits high with cold beer, specialty cocktails, and a menu packed with comfort food favorites—fueling up festivalgoers before the night ahead. Expect to see Keeva’s Krafts, HoneyCreek Pottery, Grateful Sweats, Old Neighborhood Designs, Fiddle and Feather, Reba’s Dancing Dyes, and more setting up shop for the day. Best of all? Peaches & Strings II is free to attend.
Quickly establishing itself as a Southern cultural hub, Westside Motor Lounge spans nearly three acres, featuring a full-service restaurant, a curated Jazz Kissa listening bar (Echo Room), two bars, a private event space, and a sprawling outdoor courtyard. A beloved local destination, the courtyard boasts a stage for live music, a beer garden, shuffleboard courts, fire pits, ample seating, and even a vintage Airstream travel bar and food trailer.
