Indigo Girls and Moein both land at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, one on Sunday evening and the other on Saturday, so the venue’s weekend reads like two different audiences. Across town, Jpegmafia’s abrasive hip-hop at the Tabernacle sits a few miles from the Atlanta Symphony’s Rhapsody in Blue at Symphony Hall, and the contrast is the point of this selection.
