Since first erupting to broader recognition last year with third EP and Neon Gold debut Broke Royalty, then absolutely blowing us away at Bonnaroo, Detroit indie pop/rock up and comer Flint Eastwood has been a buzzy artist we’ve had a watchful eye on, and one we’re thrilled to see coming soon to Nashville, for a Feb. 8 show at The…
Heading into the 60th Annual Grammy Awards over the weekend, yet another large spread of local artists were up for nominations, even if Nashville was lacking on the rock side this year (which, as a whole, was underrepresented, at something of an uneven and under-watched broadcast). And, of course, Nashville artists took home plenty of…
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 tonight, 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,…

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…
