The Ultimate Billy Strings Pre-Party With Live Music from Dusty Roads, Local Artist Vendors, Cold Beer and More

Saturday, February 22, 2025 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The road to Billy Strings in Atlanta starts with Peaches & Strings II at Westside Motor Lounge on Saturday, February 22, from 12-4 p.m. Back for another round after last year’s electric gathering, this free-spirited pre-party and vendor market will be filled with live music, local artists, and good company.

Located within walking distance from State Farm Arena, Westside Motor Lounge is the perfect rally point before the show. The outdoor courtyard will be buzzing with live music from Dusty Roads, a Georgia-grown band serving up a soulful mix of bluegrass, folk, and Southern rock. Between sets, explore a curated lineup of local artisans offering tie-dye treasures, handcrafted jewelry, trippy artwork, and one-of-a-kind festival finds. Whether you’re in the market for a fresh fit before the show or just soaking up the energy, there’s no better way to kick off the weekend.

Westside Motor Lounge will keep the good times rolling with cold beer, specialty cocktails, and a menu stacked with comfort food favorites to fuel up before heading to the main event. Expect to find festival favorites like Keeva’s Krafts, HoneyCreek Pottery, Grateful Sweats, Old Neighborhood Designs, Fiddle and Feather, Reba’s Dancing Dyes, and many more setting up shop for the day. Peaches & Strings II is free to attend. 

Quickly positioning itself as a cultural commodity in the South, Westside Motor Lounge spans nearly three acres and features a full-service restaurant, a curated Jazz Kissa listening bar known as Echo Room, two bars, a private event space, and a spacious outdoor courtyard. A local favorite, the courtyard boasts a stage for bands and DJs, a beer garden, shuffleboard courts, fire pits, ample seating, and a vintage Airstream travel bar and food trailer. Westside Motor Lounge is located at the corner of Northside Drive and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway at 725 Echo Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30318.
