Who says January is a slow month for music? Ok, we’ve probably said that before; however, this weekend begs to differ, with plenty of options ranging from intimate, DIY punk and metal, established rock legends, local favorites, indie acts, and everything in between. Per usual, we’ve done our best to round up our top…
If you asked us, Maynard James Keenan really likes Nashville. The famed rocker shined with Tool at Bridgestone in early 2016, returned with Puscifer at TPAC later in the year, and then entertained an intimate audience at City Winery in support of his memoir A Perfect Union Of Contrary Things as the year came…
Those of you that were in Music City before New Nashville became a thing will probably remember the promising young band Umbrella Tree that was a shining beacon in a young(er) indie music scene. Umbrella Tree sadly disbanded in 2012, but we have some new music from guitarist and vocalist Zachary Gresham in his new project…

They already released their heady first single “Bruce Lee,” and the follow up single “3-5-7” from the Dave Cobb produced album just dropped with…
Surprise “snow storm” aside, we’re happy to celebrate the first full weekend of 2017, trudging forward into an uncertain, but, hopefully, better year. And what better way to start it off than by soaking up some live music? This weekend offers plenty of local talent, country legends in small(er) spaces, folk, rock, r&b, and…
