The third annual Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival down in nearby Franklin is making the biggest waves, unless you consider the waves in the Cumberland River from crashing manmade flying vehicles at Red Bull’s Flugtag, this weekend with a stacked lineup including Justin Timberlake, Eddie Vedder, Ryan Adams, Mavis Staples, The Avett Brothers, and…
It’s been a banner year for local rocker Ron Gallo, and his LP, Heavy Meta, which dropped Feb. 3 on New West Records, is a frontrunner for local record of the year. Keeping the buzz going, Gallo just dropped a new video for his track “Put the Kids to Bed.” You can check it…

We’ve been hip on Airpark since they first appeared on the scene with their Early Works, Volume 1 EP last March. Comprised of the Ford Brothers, Michael and Ben, the duo set out to change the mindset of their music after the unfortunate dissolution of their former project, the beloved local rockers Apache Relay.…
AmericanaFest takes over Nashville this week, Sept. 12-17, with shows and showcases happening at a number of the venues in Music City, including a sold out awards show taking place Wednesday, Sept. 13 at The Ryman Auditorium.
