As the new year ramps up and we head towards the post-holiday uptick in touring, we have several exciting national acts making stops in Nashville in the coming weeks to look forward to. One can’t-miss show for fans of expansive, avant-garde, and genre-bending indie rock is Destroyer‘s return to Mercy Lounge on Feb. 1, where the Dan Bejar-led group…

We first introduced you to local singer-songwriter Chris Plank, who performs under his musical moniker Uncle Knuckle, when we premiered a pair of early singles last year, “Brush Yer Teeth” and “Out of Bed.” Boasting a commanding, baritone voice and earnest lyrical style, with a penchant for lo-fi, nostalgic, dance ready yet self-reflective and melancholy tunes that…

We last checked in on orchestral indie pop multi-instrumentalist Kishi Bashi last year, when he both headlined The Basement East and played the inaugural Church Street Block Party. Since bursting onto the scene in 2012 with his debut solo effort 151a, the eclectic artist, who previously toured backing both Regina Spektor and of Montreal, has become a…

Only a few weeks ago, Michigan hard rock revivalists Greta Van Fleet headlined Mercy Lounge, and a few months before that, made their Nashville debut at The High Watt. With just two EPs, both released last year, to their name, the young band seem fueled only by limitless potential and a stunning and well-deserved comparison to…

After months of buildup and a string of excellent singles, oddball indie duo MGMT have finally revealed a release date for their highly-anticipated fourth album, Little Dark Age. Slated to arrive Feb. 9, the record marks the group’s first effort in nearly five years, and first since the somewhat lukewarm reception to their eponymous third LP. Both…

Though we had him pegged as a potential candidate for Bonnaroo, once it was revealed that prolific art rocker and famed former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne wouldn’t be making a trek to the farm this year, despite prepping to release his first solo LP in 14 years (not counting three excellent, high-profile collaboration albums), American Utopia, on…

We’ve long known that new music from resident local rocker and Third Man Records head honcho Jack White was on the way, after he revealed last spring that he’d been holed up in a small apartment, writing with no distractions. Weeks of musical teases and a wave of huge festival announcements- Jack’s first full-scale live dates…

Returning to Nashville proper for the first time since 2015, breakout Cincinnati pop rockers Walk the Moon are slated to once more headline The Ryman Auditorium on Jan. 28, with support from reunited Chicago indie rock trio Company of Thieves. Out in support of their recent fourth full-length What If Nothing, the highly-anticipated followup to their breakout 2014 effort Talking Is Hard,…

Following in the earlier timeframe adopted over the past few years, and keeping in pace with other major national festivals, which have become increasingly more competitive in getting a jump on extra early lineup announcements, Bonnaroo has revealed its full 2o18 performance slate, featuring Eminem, The Killers, and Muse in the headlining spots. The rest of the bill, which, this year…
