GROOVE THEORY 101: Beyoncé's B'Day — The 20th Anniversary Album Listening Session
📍 Echo Room, Atlanta
🗓️ Wednesday, September 30, 2026
🕖 Doors: 7:30 PM | Class in session: 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Class is back in session, and this one's personal. Groove Theory 101 returns to celebrate 20 years of Beyoncé's B'Day — the album that showed us exactly who she was becoming, no committee required. Written and recorded in just three weeks around her 25th birthday, B'Day is raw, self-possessed, and unapologetically her.
Join us on hi-fi vinyl as we spin the album front to back, breaking down the production, the storytelling, and the cultural moment it captured — from the horn-driven grit of "Ring the Alarm" to the tender vulnerability of "Resentment." Come ready to talk, listen, and celebrate two decades of an album that still hits.
Doors open at 7:30 PM for mingling before class starts promptly at 8:00 PM.
