Longtime music couple Kindred & The Family Soul are swinging through Atlanta this weekend and it’s kind of a special occasion: It’s their 20th wedding anniversary!
They’ll be celebrating The APX at Center Stage on Friday, June 15, 2018. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Seats are going from $25 to $40 for Reserved Seating.
The musical couple, who have four daughters and a son, say the key to their success has been their ability to stay true to their music roots, which fans appreciate.
“We always strive to, for lack of a better phrase, ‘keep it real,’ you know what I mean?” they told Soultracks.com in an interview. “A lot of different people feel where we’re coming from, they understand who we are and what our message is. It just comes down to encouraging people, by example, to be who they are and to really celebrate that.”

But the one thing that connects them all is finding the strength to heal, find their purpose through their pain and now passionately help others in the areas self-love, weight loss, career, spirituality, relationships, finances, and forgiveness.

Porsche Pays Homage To Past With New RennSport Poster
This year’s event pays homage to the pantheon of Porsche motorsport champions, and the poster depicts three of the most significant players: the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring-winning Type 718 RS 60, the first overall endurance race winner from Porsche; the 2008 RS Spyder which famously punched above its weight by winning races overall in the American Le Mans Series in the Le Mans Prototype (LMP2) class; and the 959 Group B rally car, which after winning the grueling 6,200 mile Paris–Dakar off-road rally in 1986 went on to become the world’s fastest production street-legal road car.
RRVI Poster (PRNewsfoto/Porsche Cars North America, Inc.) Hosted by PCNA, Rennsport Reunion VI will again feature the widest variety of historic racing models in competition as Porsche celebrates the 70th anniversary this year of its first sports car.
