Barenaked Ladies
Ameris Bank Amphitheatre — Alpharetta, GA

Barenaked Ladies started as a four-piece Canadian alternative rock band in the late 80s and became one of those bands everyone somehow knows despite themselves. They hit massive with 'One Week' in 1998, a song so repetitive and absurd it basically weaponized itself into the cultural bloodstream. But that hit obscured what they actually were: smart, self-aware musicians who could write a genuinely affecting song like 'Brian Wilson' or an elaborate concept piece about hypothetical money in 'If I Had $1,000,000.' Their live shows became legendary in part because they weren't trying to be cool, which made them cooler. Steven Page and Ed Robertson had clear chemistry, and the band leaned into comedy without ever becoming a joke. They've gone through lineup changes and had their ups and downs, but they've maintained a stubborn independence and actually stuck around, which counts for something.

Their shows are genuinely fun without feeling desperate about it. Crowds are mixed ages and actually engaged. They'll do the hits you know, but also deep cuts. The banter is real, not scripted. People sing along to everything. It's one of those rare situations where a band and their audience are actually having a good time together.

Known for One Week, Brian Wilson, If I Had $1,000,000, The Old Apartment, Pinch Me

Barenaked Ladies played Synovus Bank Amphitheater at Chastain Park in Atlanta on June 3, 2025, with a 19-song set that was equal parts concert and comedy show. They opened with Gonna Walk and The Old Apartment before the signature ad-lib section and an Electric Avenue detour. Brian Wilson and Pinch Me are the reliable anchors. The medley section was absurd in the best way -- Pink Pony Club, TEXAS HOLD 'EM, The Gambler, and HOT TO GO all got mashed together. They closed the encore with Lovin' Life after a Highway to Hell cover.

Atlanta's alt-rock and indie scene has always had room for the genre-bending stuff—bands that refuse to stay in one lane. Barenaked Ladies fit that mold perfectly in a city that's embraced everyone from OutKast to The Black Crowes. Atlanta crowds tend to appreciate musicianship and humor in equal measure, which is exactly what the Ladies bring. The amphitheater setting at Chastain Park attracts the kind of crowd that shows up for the whole experience, not just the hits.

Stay in Buckhead or Virginia Highland for the neighborhood feel — tree-lined streets, good restaurants, walkable enough to actually enjoy yourself. For dinner, Sotto Sotto does excellent Italian in a no-fuss basement setting, or Rathbun's for steak if you want something more formal. Spend an afternoon at the High Museum of Art, then grab drinks at The Eagle, which has the kind of dark-wood-and-whiskey vibe that actually works. Catch a Braves game at Truist Park if timing lines up. The food scene here is legitimately good without being try-hard about it.
