Looking for last minute weekend plans? Nearby Birmingham, Alabama’s Sloss Fest kicks off on Saturday July 15 for a two day event featuring a balanced, yet eclectic, slate of performers in historic Sloss Furnaces.

It’s a weekend of nearby festivals, with Lousiville’s Forecastle Fest and Birmingham’s Sloss Fest dominating a lot of the musical attention around town, but there are also a ton of great local shows for those sticking around Nashville. We have a couple of killer sets at a local brewery, a few record release parties,…
Riding high on the early acclaim of her third full-length Sneaker Waves, which dropped July 7 via Modern Outsider Records, beloved East Nashville indie songwriter Tristen will perform tonight, July 13 at American Legion Post 82 along with a stacked cast of locals in support, for a special evening dubbed “Tristen the Night Away.” We already shared…
