Washington rocker Jeremy Enigk, best known for fronting seminal ’90s emo act Sunny Day Real Estate, has announced a spring acoustic solo tour, which will bring him to Nashville (possibly for the first time ever, as far as we can tell) April 15 at Mercy Lounge.

Even if you didn’t tune in, as a Nashvillian (or, you know, music fan and/or person with an internet connection), you probably know that the 57th Annual Grammy Awards took place last night in Los Angeles.

If you follow us regularly, then surely, by now, you’re familiar with Wisconsin indie pop outfit Phox. By our count, the group played Nashville three times last year, once in a headlining spot at The High Watt, and also in high profile opening slots with Paolo Nutini and, most recently, The Head and the Heart. Tonight, the…
