Taupin and Elton John

Photograph courtesy of Bill Lowe Gallery In the blockbuster biopic Rocketman, Bernie Taupin’s character is the English wordsmith who met Elton John at a cafe in 1967 and became the stalwart friend who stood by his songwriting partner through decades of stardom and tumult. Atlantans also may recognize Taupin as the lyricist who wrote dozens of radio hits (from “Tiny Dancer” to “I’m Still Standing”) with John, including the album, Peachtree Road, which was recorded in our city and celebrated at a legendary concert at the Tabernacle in 2004.

Fear No Art: Opera Edition

Don't know a dang thing about opera and have no idea where to start? Boy, are you in luck these next few weeks.
