The Greyboy Allstars live in Atlanta

Experience The Greyboy Allstars live on October 24th

The Greyboy Allstars are scheduled to perform at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Georgia on October 24, 2026. The band is known for its instrumental blend of jazz, funk, and soul music, often categorized within the acid jazz genre. Emerging from San Diego in the early 1990s, they gained prominence during the burgeoning West Coast jazz scene and are recognized for their improvisational skills and tight grooves. Their sound incorporates elements of classic jazz organ combos with a modern, energetic approach.

Variety Playhouse itself opened in 1935 as a movie theatre, initially operating as part of the Erlanger theatre chain. Over its history, it transitioned through various uses including a church before being renovated and reopened as a live music venue in 1992. The building is noted for its Art Deco architecture and intimate atmosphere, holding approximately 1,000 attendees. It has become a significant fixture in Atlanta’s music landscape hosting diverse acts across multiple genres. The venue's acoustics are generally considered favorable for live performances due to its relatively small size and design.
