Atlanta has always been the heartbeat of Black music in America — from the days of LaFace Records to the trap anthems shaking club speakers today. But right now, a soul revolution is quietly building in the South, and on May 8, 2026, it erupts right here in the A. Southern Soul Rising Stars brings two of the genre's most electrifying young voices — Marcellus TheSinger and FPJ — to the stunning outdoor stage of Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre, and Atlanta fans need to be in that building.

A Battle of Rising Southern Soul Royalty

This isn't just a concert — it's a statement. The Southern soul circuit has been buzzing with the names Marcellus TheSinger and FPJ for good reason. These two artists represent the next generation of a deeply rooted tradition: soulful storytelling wrapped in the grit, groove, and gospel-soaked swagger that only the South can produce.

Marcellus TheSinger has been turning heads with a voice that cuts deep and lyrics that hit even deeper. His ability to blend raw emotion with polished delivery has built him a fiercely loyal fanbase across the Southeast — and Atlanta's soul community has been riding with him hard.

FPJ brings a different but equally compelling energy — dynamic, passionate, and built for a live stage. When FPJ performs, you feel it in your chest. Together on the same bill, these two artists aren't just sharing a stage; they're competing for your heart.

Why Mable House Is the Perfect Stage for This Moment

Nestled in Mableton, just west of Atlanta, Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre is one of metro Atlanta's most beloved outdoor venues. Its intimate, open-air setting creates an atmosphere where every note feels personal, every lyric lands like a conversation between artist and audience. For a night of Southern soul this powerful, there is no better backdrop.
