THE CONNECT FIVE: Shows to see this week in Savannah
Almost 10 years ago in a Fernandina Beach, Florida garage, three neighborhood high school friends formed a band. This same simple set of circumstances led to the creation of so many greats, from Creedence Clearwater Revival to The Ramones to Descendents to Slayer. It’s one of the great American stories. Flipturn would like their own chapter. They eventually evolved into a five-piece and have expanded far beyond home. They play energetic indie rock, from jangly REM/Byrds style to mellow acoustic grooves and a slew of surprises. Their debut, the EP “Heavy Colors,” came out in 2017, followed by two more extended plays before the album “Shadowglow” in 2022. Nashville duo Hotel Fiction was last seen in town on the Victory North stage supporting Nordista Freeze’s Space Prom. If you were there and saw their version of Heart's "Magic Man," you know enough to know they are worth the price of admission alone.

Rep. Allen's Nuclear Licensing Efficiency Act signed into law
This week, Congressman Rick W. Allen's (GA-12) Nuclear Licensing Efficiency Act was signed into law. Rep. Allen introduced the legislation last year, which was then included in a bipartisan nuclear energy package that was signed into law this week as a part of a larger legislative vehicle. Upon the announcement, Congressman Allen issued the following statement: "With Plant Vogtle's nuclear units 3 and 4 fully operational and providing a stable, baseload supply of electricity to Georgia homes and businesses, now is the time to build on this tremendous success and explore further expansion of America's nuclear energy capabilities. This bipartisan nuclear energy package, including my Nuclear Licensing Efficiency Act, will help streamline future nuclear projects in the U.S. so that we may fully embrace the reliability of clean, 24/7 nuclear energy for generations to come. I am thankful for Chair Rodgers’ leadership on this issue and am pleased that my colleagues and I on the Energy and Commerce Committee were able to get this legislation over the finish line. I look forward to seeing its positive impact on America's energy sector."
