[TICKET GIVEAWAY] Lorde w/ Run the Jewels & Mitski | April 15 @ Bridgestone Arena
•
A certifiable modern pop icon at barely 21, New Zealand’s Lorde has managed to turn personal, poetic, sad, and artsty indie pop into an arena-worthy musical sensation, boosted by last year’s masterpiece of a sophomore effort, Melodrama. It’s been four years since her last Nashville outing, but that finally changes April 15, when Lorde plays Bridgestone Area with beloved alt…

Since then, Tanya, a veteran…

[REMINDER] Catch Khruangbin w/ The Mattson 2 | TONIGHT @ The Basement East
•
When you hear “instrumental music” applied to contemporary bands, at least in the scene we frequent, it’s typically some sort of post-rock or droning metal or electronic outfit doing something cool, but wholly removed from the instrumental outfits of the past. Though unmistakably new, Khruangbin find their instrumental influences in musical traditions that span many decades,…

[REMINDER] Don’t Miss Caroline Rose w/ WASI & Nightingail | TONIGHT @ The High Watt
•
Few musical reinventions have been as stunning or as gratifyingly well-executed as Caroline Rose‘s turn from alt-Americana up and comer to full-fledged synth-punk-pop-feminist rock badass with her stellar new sophomore effort LONER. Quirky, darkly funny, self-assured, and unique, Caroline Rose has never seemed more in tune with her own artistic self-expression, and when she returns to…

When Franklin’s Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival nabbed partner and producer Justin Timberlake to headline last year’s third annual event, by far the most high-profile of the local fest’s short run, we knew that the event’s newfound attention and significantly boosted attendance would set a future precedent, and have remained incredibly curious to see how they’d follow…
