Atlanta, you already know how to show up for a moment — and May 8, 2026 is going to be one of those moments you talk about for years. St. Paul and the Broken Bones, one of the most electrifying live acts in modern soul and R&B, is rolling into The Eastern with special guest Brother Wallace in tow. If you've got a pulse and a love for real, raw, spine-tingling music, this night was made for you.

The Powerhouse That Is St. Paul and the Broken Bones

Born out of Birmingham, Alabama, St. Paul and the Broken Bones have been setting stages on fire since 2012. Fronted by the impossibly dynamic Paul Janeway, this eight-piece band brings a gospel-drenched, brass-fueled, sweat-soaked brand of soul that feels like church, a block party, and a revival all rolled into one unforgettable show. They've shared stages with legends, headlined major festivals, and built a fiercely devoted fanbase across the South — and Atlanta has always been part of that story.

Their critically acclaimed catalog, from Half the City to Young Sick Camellia to their more recent explorations in sound, proves this is a band that refuses to stand still. Every album is a statement. Every live show is an event.

Brother Wallace: The Perfect Opening Act

Joining the bill is Brother Wallace, an artist whose soulful sound and heartfelt lyricism make him the ideal companion for a night like this. Expect an opening set that warms the room up in the best way possible — setting the tone before St. Paul and the Broken Bones take it completely over the top.
