Catch Jimmy Eat World w/ The Hotelier & Microwave | Saturday, May 12 @ The Ryman
•
With over 20 years of beloved and essential releases, few bands have been as important to the emo scene or have maintained as much breakout, immeasurable influence as Jimmy Eat World, who first rose to widespread recognition in the early ’00s (but made a big impact in the underground several years prior).

Catch Maddie Medley, Rose Hotel, HARI, & Blond Bones | TONIGHT @ The 5 Spot
•
We’ve mentioned local singer Maddie Medley a handful of times in the past, who, with her 2016 lo-fi debut EP Garland, and a couple of prior promising singles, all released while still in high school, has become an increasingly more active part of the local scene, frequenting bills with indie acts, and garnering buzz for powerful voice…
