They booked up-and-coming local band General Oglethorpe and the Panhandlers, Atlanta-based Little Tybee, and Givers, a band that seems poised to hit the big time from Lafayette, Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>The Jepson is a tough place for music &#8212; the Eckburg Atrium is one of my favorite spaces in the city, but the hard surfaces of the room make it practically impossible to control the sound well. But the production team did their best, including asking artist Matt Hebermehl to quickly paint the backdrop you can see in the photos here.

I&#8217;m betting that some of the younger folks among the approximately 200 who paid $10 admission hadn&#8217;t even ever been to the museum.
