We’ve been riding on high with anticipation for Carl Broemel‘s new solo record since the first singles began surfacing. Some may know Broemel for his work with My Morning Jacket for the past decade now, but the Nashville resident appears to have incorporated his highly acclaimed guitar work with songwriting to match in his upcoming album,…

New York via central California rockers The Mystery Lights have been bringing their version of heavy fuzz infused rock, which conjures images of 60’s psych and 70’s punk, in some form or other for years. Now with a new home at Daptone imprint Wick Records, The Mystery Lights have been making the rounds in…

Save, perhaps, for Bonanroo (which shares the same production team) there is no other regional festival we can say that, without a doubt, we will attend every year without fail, and can count on to be as well-curated, well-organized, and endlessly fun as Forecastle Fest.

We’ve been following the local brother/sister outfit Pageant for a while now, and they blew us away at our No Country Presents showcase last year. Erika and Derek Porter have a musical bond that has clearly been building for years, and we’ve seen them effortlessly harmonize between genres since we first became fans. So, we…

As we roll into August, summer music options are still going strong, and this weekend is particularly packed with some great shows. Whether three nights of big names at Ascend Amphitheater, a beloved local reunion, the return of Musician’s Corner, or any number of free happenings like Grimey’s in-stores, a music and pizza party…

Songwriters songwriter Cory Branan has spent years honing his craft and (too) slowly building his name around town. We, along with a lot of others in Music City, thought his 2014 release No-Hit Wonder was going to elevate him beyond the bar rooms of the local scene, and, while Branan is surely deserving to be…
