This barely shot across my radar, but I’m glad I found it yesterday. The Flaming Lips’ front man Wayne Coyne and Ke$ha joined Ben Folds on stage at The Ryman on Monday night to perform Conway Twitty’s “You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly”. A fan took a pretty good crowd video of that…
Have a listen to Nashville’s The Kingston Springs covering Hank Williams’ “Dear Brother” on the waterfront in NYC. I’ll be glad to have those fellars back around Nashville. I need some good rock n’ roll. [youtube_sc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-bfsrEKg4o&w=560&h=315]

It’s another pretty stellar lineup tonight for free at Live On The Green tonight at Public Square Park. You can relish in Americana week with The Dunwells, Delta Spirit is always a highlight, and it will be worth it to crowd watch while all the late-30’s cougars diss their kids to sing “6th Avenue…
It’s that time again folks. It’s the cool autumn weather that make us want to be outside after sucking AC for the past 5 months. It’s that time when the crisp, clear nights will ring full of music over Nashville. It’s time for Soundland. While I am admittedly a little bummed that Soundland has turned…
