Local garage rock duo JEFF the Brotherhood clearly seem to be enjoying their return to totally DIY status (earlier this year, major label home Warner Bros. released the group, allowing them to return to their own Infinity Cat label). Despite the fact that their latest full-length Wasted on a Dream only dropped in March, three years after breakout…
Couldn’t grab tickets to Leon Bridges‘ sold out performance tonight at Marathon Music Works with Kali Uchis? You’re in luck, because the breakout soul singer (and likely staple of 2016 summer fests) has already plotted his Music City return. Seemingly outgrowing every space he plays – 3rd & Lindsey in May, Marathon tonight – Bridges will make his…
Breakout local grunge pop group Bully, who recently dropped a new video for “Too Tough,” the latest single from their buzzworthy debut full-length Feels Like, have announced a run of tour dates in January, which includes their first hometown show of the new year, Jan. 22 at The Basement East with Fake Limbs and Music Band. 2015 has been a huge year for…
In what surely seems like a bit of an oddball show during an inaugural season of country, alternative, rock royalty, americana, and generally more older-skewing acts at downtown’s brand new Ascend Amphitheater, the lineup tonight, Oct. 13 will give teens and twenty-somethings a reason to venture to the new show space.

Clearly reenergized, the band return…

Since the release of local indie pop songstress CAPPA‘s debut EP back in the spring, we’ve gotten a show here and a remix there, all the while waiting for one of Nashville’s most promising rising artists to craft some new tunes. Today, the wait is over, as CAPPA triumphantly returns in time for fall with…
While we’ve told you about a fair share of local funk and r&b acts in the past – The Aquaducks, AJ & the Jiggawatts, The Deep Fried 5, and even Alanna Royale among them – that particular scene definitely doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves, so we’re especially excited to premiere a track…
Photo by Mary-Beth Blankenship. New festivals are as nerve-wracking as they are exciting, especially for those involved in putting them together. Not only are you faced with scrutiny and legions of first-time attendees who will form opinions as things continue to get settled, but also bands and press both rooting for you and simultaneously judging…
When the No Country team reminisces on our favorite shows of the best few years, Beach House‘s 2012 outing at Marathon Music Works always comes up as a standout performance. Boasting a layered and nuanced live style that perfectly brings to life their dream pop songs (five near-perfect albums’ worth, at this point), the band…
