InstaRecap: 500 Songs for Kids Weekend 1

500 Songs for Kids 2013 kicked off last weekend at Smith's Olde Bar. The theme varied each night from Friday's Greatest Soundtrack Songs to Saturday's Greatest Break-Up Song countdown, but what did not vary was the intensity. Seasoned and new performers belted, danced, and sometimes rapped their way through each night's song list.

Mixtape Atlanta was front and center both nights capturing the acts and sharing photos instantaneously via Instagram. Check out all our Instagram photos from the weekend here.

Join us this upcoming weekend- April 26 & 27- for more great performances at The Loft, when the countdown theme of the weekend is VH1's Greatest Songs of the 80s and 90s. Also be sure to follow Mixtape Atlanta on Instagram and Twitter for updates throughout the next four weekends of 500 Songs for Kids.

Night 1- Rhythm Nation

Night One of 500 Songs for Kids 2011 started with a packed house and a diverse lineup of artists for the first night of this ten day musical charity marathon. I-Tegrity got the crowd fired up with KC & The Sunshine Band's "That's The Way (I Like It)." Clad in their signature kilts, The Lost Boys, who have performed every year, returned to the stage to perform Men Without Hat's "The Safety Dance." Dodekapus, made up of several members from The Back Pockets, filled the stage with an army of dancers to perform Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation." Other highlights included: Paul Warner covering Smashing Pumpkins' "Today," Oh Dorian's solo performance of Bright Eyes' "First Day of My Life," Marshall Ruffin's soulful rendition of Muddy Waters' "I Just Want To Make Love To You," and Six Shot Revival's "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith.
