“Armistead’s Armi” is a kaleidoscopic collective led by Athens music and art scene
visionary Armistead Wellford, best known as co-founder of influential art-rock pioneers Love Tractor. With Wellford at the helm, the band’s sound recalls the best of early ‘80s Athens pop, filtered through the multi-instrumentalist’s prismatic visions of then-ness and now-ness. The assembled ensemble’s mission is anchored by a decidedly funky mix of ‘70s-style grooves tempered with ‘80s-born angular abstractions. The result is a thoroughly modern, non-stop party set of literate and highly danceable
compositions - featuring the leader’s good-natured charm with subtle nods to his early roots and various psychedelic explorations.

You never know who might show up to join in on the fun, but the October 2026 version of the band includes Wellford (guitar, bass and vocals), fellow Love Tractor alums Andrew Carter (bass), Doug Stanley (keyboards) and Joe Rowe (drums) – along with a few special guests to add even more unscripted excitement to the band’s wayward party train.

Grab your tickets NOW for the revelry.

Anne Richmond Boston and her all-star band open the show.
