It’s always unfortunate and all too frequent when we hear of bands being robbed on tour, and it especially hits close to home when they happen to be local. While winding town a run with fellow Music City group Free Throw, as well as Young & Heartless and Sinai Vessel, a tour which kicked off a…
A few months back, Grammy award winning hip hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis announced a Jan. 30 performance at Grand Ole Opry House, the pair’s first proper Nashville outing. Despite buzzy summer single “Downtown” (featuring a whole bunch of hip hop royalty and Foxy Shazam’s own Eric Nally), Ed Sheeran collab “Growing Up (Sloane’s Song)” before that, and “Kevin,”…
Ahead of his debut solo album, Painkillers, which he recorded here in Nashville with beloved producer Butch Walker, Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon is embarking on a short tour with a backing band he’s dubbed “The Crowes” (not to be confused with his former side project The Horrible Crowes, though the name is surely no coincidence). Fallon…
In the nine album catalog of indie/alt rock/emo turned power pop legends Weezer, three of those full-lengths are simply and officially called Weezer. Because of this, fans (and the band) have taken to referring to them by their colors: Blue, Green, and Red, respectively. A fourth self-titled effort, and the group’s tenth album overall has just been…

And not just performances in Mercy proper, but in The High Watt and Cannery Ballroom as well. Sound too good to be true? Provided you are at least…
Though considerably smaller in scale than other regional events like Bonnaroo, Forecastle, and even Pilgrimage Fest, Knoxville’s Rhythm N’ Blooms has, over the past few years, really become an indispensable player in the summer fest game, using their knack for curation to make every lineup spot count while keeping tickets incredibly affordable. This year’s event, which takes…
Before a another run fronting famed rock group Queen, glam-rock singer Adam Lambert has announced a spring tour of solo shows in support of last year’s The Original High, which will bring him back to The Ryman Auditorium on March 10, where he made his Music City debut in 2010. The vocal powerhouse and American Idol alum has had an impressive run over…
Entering its second season, new downtown showspace Ascend Amphitheater is already lining up some highly-anticipated events for the summer and fall, including twenty one pilots, Duran Duran, Heart, Joan Jett, and Cheap Trick, and many more! A couple of changes in policy seem to be brewing, however, thanks to noise complaints from nearby residents. According to the Tennessean,…
Earlier this week, we told you that pop rockers Parachute were set to return to Cannery Ballroom on May 6, in support of their upcoming album, and, now, we’ve just learned a bit more about the release, and received a preview in the form of first single “Without You.” Called Wide Awake, the LP will arrive March 11, and serves…
