Brookhaven, GA, Feb. 24, 2023 – Special guest All-4-One joins the music lineup of the 2023 Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival, taking place Saturday and Sunday, March 25-26, at Blackburn Park, 3493 Ashford Dunwoody Road in Brookhaven.  Admission is free. Also joining the lineup are local acts Eliot Bronson and Little Hopes.

Band of Horses is the Saturday, March 25, headliner, while HANSON headlines on Sunday, March 26. Taking the stage Saturday are Don McLean, Deep Blue Something, and Eliot Bronson, while The Fray, offering a special acoustic performance, special guest All-4-One, Lissie, and Little Hopes take the stage on Sunday.

“Once again we are kicking off the 2023 festival season in style,” said Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst. “Thanks to our partnership with Live Nation, we continue to host one of the best festivals in the Southeast right here in Brookhaven.”

Celebrating their 30^th anniversary this year, All-4-One continues to tour the world as the original members and a collection of hit songs under their belt. The Grammy Award winning group is internationally known for making beautiful love songs such as songs “I Swear” and “I Can Love You Like That” that not only chart radio airwaves, but also garner countless awards. To date All-4-One has released seven albums and sold over 20 million units worldwide, won a bevy of awards including a Grammy, an American Music Award, a Blockbuster Award, and countless international awards and completed multiple major world tours.

Over the course of five albums, indie folksinger Eliot Bronson has created his own brand of acclaimed Americana. He's an award-winning songwriter and internationally-renowned musician, championed by everyone from The Baltimore Sun — who've hailed him as "a folk singing wunderkind"— to Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, whose work on 2014's Eliot Bronson and 2017's James placed Bronson on the same client roster as Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, and other heartfelt songwriters. He turned a new page with 2020's Empty Spaces, a breakup written after a split from his fiancé and a move from Atlanta to Nashville. Local music fans might know Bronson from the award-winning group The Brilliant Inventions, a mainstay of the Atlanta music scene prior to their breakup in 2010.

A Decatur, Ga., local, Little Hopes’ Sydney Rhame cut her teeth playing Eddie’s Attic, selling out the venue several times as an acoustic singer/songwriter before turning 18. After a successful stint on NBC’s “The Voice,” Rhame signed to Capitol Records as a pop artist. Five years later, she is now reemerging as an independent Americana artist focused on songwriting and storytelling. Brock Shanks was raised in Rockmart, Ga., and spent much of his youth playing guitar in country bands, getting snuck into American Legions and bars he was too young to play. In the last decade Shanks has lived in Atlanta. Little Hopes blends Rhame’s pop singer leanings with Shank’s Americana singer-songwriter style.

“Our lineup continues to impress,” said District 1 Councilmember Linley Jones. “I invite the community and our neighbors to come to beautiful Blackburn Park to enjoy the music, the art, the food and the fun!”
