Recording artist Ashley Harris is the spark behind Ragamuffin Music Hall near Roswell's historic Town Square. The Ragamuffin venue serves as a homey environment for music lessons, live performances and open-microphone nights.

Ragamuffin, which Harris took over last year, is a bit unique in that it is not a bar and it is not a restaurant. It is a place where musicians, both veteran and aspiring, like to gather to enjoy their craft. The venue welcomes fans.

Ragamuffin is named after The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning. Manning wrote that Christian grace was needed for those "bedraggled, beat-up and burnt-out."

The music hall's address is 585 Atlanta Street. Their telephone number is 770-744-3814.
