For the past several years, we’ve watched Boone, NC eclectic rock outfit Rainbow Kitten Surprise balloon from a buzzy indie fixture to a nationally lauded, major label backed, must-know band, frequently stopping through Music City on their ascent, each time with impressive new tunes in tow. After stopping through last spring to play Cannery Ballroom, not…
At barely 17, LA electropop up and comer Billie Eilish is already making waves as one of the most promising young singers in pop, and managed to blow us away with her debut, main stage appearance at Bonnaroo last summer, despite being barely older than the fest itself. Don’t let her youth fool you though; Billie hails from…
One of our favorite local up and coming pop and soul singers, Chicago transplant Josie Dunne wowed us last year with her debut EP (and major label release) To Be the Little Fish. Despite a few years as a Nashville resident, and many years prior making the trek down to write and hone her craft, Josie is only…

Certainly a unique and essential show…
It’s now been over a decade since New York’s Vampire Weekend took the world by storm with their eponymous debut LP, released to an unbelievable mountain of hype just a few short years after first meeting and forming the band while students at Columbia. Back then, the power of blog buzz and the fever pitch of hipster…
Boasting a stellar lineup of familiar and supremely talented players, southern hard rock collective The Magpie Salute will return to Nashville for their first headlining show in a couple of years (and first since last year’s debut studio LP) tonight, Feb. 1 at Cannery Ballroom. Counting members of Black Crowes, including Rich Robinson, among their ranks, the band have,…
An inspired teamup of two of our favorite touring acts, Virginia southern rockers J Roddy Walston and the Business and Louisville folk-infused indie rockers Murder By Death, both acts no strangers to Music City, are bringing their co-headlining tour to Cannery Ballroom on Feb. 7!
