In addition to all that, we'll be collecting school supplies to support the Decatur Education Foundation (https://decatureducationfoundation.org).

About Polly Holliday:

Here's a bit more about Polly Holliday:

Beth Kelhoffer, Sy Burnett, Danny Santivasci, Mike Spinello, and Bradley Jacobsen make up a hot gumbo called Polly Holliday—dishing out well-baked indie-hits, soulful ballads, and saucy b-sides with a juicy mix of originals.

For decades, Beth and Sy have made music, performing often at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA. Beth sings lead for The Flock, a popular band in Decatur. Sy holds it down on guitar and bass. The pair host the livestream “Comfort Food.”

After falling off of the baby cart, musical squirrels raised Mike Spinello. Starting on drums in 7th grade, he piano-plucked Beatles’ tunes, picked up guitar at 18, and proclaims an interest in song structure. Later, he became an architect. Guitarist Danny has a keen ear and a hand for guitar. A player for 15 years, he’s a BIG Phish fan and got to meet Trey Anastasio at a NY airport. He says it was amazing. Bradley is lucky to be alive. He also plays drums with The TIger Kings. When his hair was long, he played a mailbox in an Athens’ band, rode a Vespa down the Appian way in Rome, and met Italy’s only astronaut in San Pellegrino.
