There are some artists who just belong in a listening room.

You might know Tyler Ramsey from his years with Band of Horses, but hearing his intricate guitar work and songwriting in a small, seated room like ours is a completely different experience. It’s intimate, it’s up close, and it’s more than just background music.

He’ll be here this Wednesday with Athens-based singer-songwriter Blackwater Still, who will be playing an acoustic set. This is one you’ll want to be in the room for.

After the show, Tyler will be around to sign merch and take photos.

🎶 Tyler Ramsey w/ Blackwater Still 🗓️ Wednesday, November 4 🕖 Doors 7 PM • Music 7:30 PM 📍 David’s 105 Listening Room • Downtown Monroe, GA 🎟️$25 • link in bio

We have a new bar in the listening room, and we’re now serving b**r & w**e! 🍺🍷

If you stop by, you’ll most likely find Rose behind it. She’s my oldest, and she’s always bartending (I help her out some!).

✨Fun fact about us:
🎸An album Rose never gets tired of hearing: E***a of the State by blink-182.
🎶 An album I never get tired of hearing: Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins.
💜 We were both born & raised right here in Monroe!

Come say hey to Rose (and me) this weekend, grab a drink, and tell us the one album you never get tired of hearing. 🎶

One of my favorite things about open mic is that I still get surprised every week by the talent of our local musicians.

Joe (joe_hilley ) has been one of our regulars for a while now. I’ve heard him play plenty of songs, and kill them all. But last week was the first time I heard him play one he wrote himself.

And it was amazing. 🔥👏💜

To all our musicians: if you’ve been sitting on an original song, don’t be afraid to bring it to our stage. We’re here to listen. 🎶

Saturday, October 31 is officially Jontavious Willis Day in Monroe!

Our mayor signed the proclamation, and the nice official one is at City Hall. And it asks us to recognize what Jontavious has given to American music and to Georgia.

Jontavious grew up singing gospel beside his grandfather at Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church in Greenville, Georgia. He taught himself guitar, banjo & harmonica. At 19, Taj Mahal invited him on stage. Since then he’s earned a Grammy nomination and carried Georgia blues to audiences around the world.

But some of his most important work happens off stage. With filmmaker Henry Jacobs, he spent time recording and filming living blues musicians of Georgia and Alabama, so their music is documented for generations to come.

That’s the thing about the blues. It lives because people like him keep it going.
The city calls him an ambassador to the blues. On Saturday, Monroe gets to say thank you.

Jontavious, we appreciate you. We genuinely appreciate what you do for music, for the blues, for the history of the blues, and especially for that history as it pertains to Georgia. And we appreciate you coming to Monroe to share your talent & music, and the musicians you’re bringing with you. 💜

This week, put on one of his records, or some Curley Weaver, Barbecue Bob, Ma Rainey, Blind Willie McTell, etc. Then come hear him Saturday night in Downtown Monroe. Let’s show him what this town sounds like when it’s listening.

Thank you so much to Mayor John Howard and the City of Monroe for honoring him and this music. And thank you to the residents of Monroe for supporting live music and the musicians who make sure it endures. 💜🎶

Georgia has its own blues history. A lot of it happened in our own backyard.

At Jontavious Willis’ last show, a very special person was sitting in the room: the granddaughter of Newton County bluesman, Curley Weaver.

He played a request just for her. And it happened to be Barbecue Bob’s birthday. Barbecue Bob is Walton County’s own, and he grew up alongside Curley.

This Friday marks 18 years since Curley’s daughter, Cora Mae Bryant, passed. She spent her life keeping her father’s music alive, and she was crucial in our friend & local bluesman Eddie Hinton’s blues journey.

Jontavious knows the history of the blues, and he carries that legacy forward. Especially Georgia blues. He keeps it authentic to its roots but fresh & alive.

And he’s back this Saturday along with Stephen Hull, JD Dukes & Rodrigo Mantovani. Eddie Hinton will be taking the stage for a few songs too.

Come be in the room for it. 🎶🎸

Friday is National Text Your Ex Day.

But we think it’s probably better to move on & come laugh about bad relationships instead.

And if you’re on good terms? Text them to come to comedy night.

Once a month, comedian Lanny Farmer brings a new lineup of stand-up comics from around the region to our stage. This month that’s Makenzie Manent, Jordan Meadows, Luke Bentley & Gaelika Brown, along with Lanny.

This is also our last comedy night of the year. With Thanksgiving & Christmas coming up, the next one won’t be until Friday, January 29.

Bring a few friends, a date, or even your ex & start Halloween weekend laughing. 🎃

🎤 Comedy Night hosted by Lanny Farmer 🗓️ Friday, October 30 🕖 Doors 7 PM • Comedy 8 PM

Every open jam starts with one person willing to play first.

In this clip from an old open jam moment, the amazing Brent Echols starts it off on guitar. Then Sanchez Heard joins in on drums. Then Caroline Guske on keys. Then Dennis Blade on bass. Then Brian Burke gives it a voice.

One musician at a time until the whole stage is playing together.

That’s the magic of an open jam: people who might never have met any other way end up on the same stage, playing the same song, and they’re not strangers anymore.

And tonight we’re celebrating Brent’s birthday the best way we know how: with a jam. Bring your instrument. Bring your voice. Or just come be part of the room and help us celebrate him. 🎸🎶

Happy birthday to our dear friend, Brent! 💜

Brent’s birthday jam is tonight starting at 6 at David’s 105. No end time. Free entry. We hope you drop by!

10/23/2026

Brent Echols turns 50 this Saturday.

Brent is one of our favorite people to see because he always makes us laugh. And although this clip highlights his personality, he’s one hell of a guitar player.

So we’re excited he’s celebrating his birthday with an open jam at David’s 105.

Bring an instrument or just come hang out & enjoy the music.

Happy birthday, Brent. 🎸

Oh, and you can bring a banjo. We do actually allow banjos.

🎶 Brent Echols’ 50th Birthday Open Jam
📅 Saturday, October 24
🕖 Doors 7 PM • Jam 8 PM

Who remembers this Monroe group from the 80s?

They were The Georgia Boys: a group of young men from right here in Monroe who sang gospel at local churches and community events around the region. They even won a competition in Atlanta.

Maybe you heard them sing at your church. Maybe you caught them at a community event. Maybe one of them is an old friend, classmate, relative, or neighbor.

One of them is one of my best friends. He’s the guy in the bottom left: Karl Weaver (Karl Weaver). Karl is also our house drummer. More on Karl soon. (Also pictured: Jesse Braham, Jeff Still, Bill Richardson)

Swipe to see a 1984 ad with the Georgia Boys on the same bill as Stampede. The singer of Stampede? Rhonda Carrier, who you may have also seen on our stage still singing her heart out.

All of the Georgia Boys still live in the area. And we’d love to bring them back together for a reunion show.
Let us know if you remember seeing them in the 80s. Old photos or videos? We’d love to see them.

And if you know one of them, tell them you’d love to see them back together. Let’s show them that Monroe didn’t forget them. 💜🎶

I love my hometown and the people that make it what it is.
