Nearly a year ago, emo/post-hardcore/alt rock outfit Taking Back Sunday were set to perform at Marathon Music Works, and, though that show did occur, it took place without singer Adam Lazzara, who was forced to leave the tour due to a family emergency, with ex-Underoath vocalist Spencer Chamberlain filling in. While that was certainly a once…
Fall is in full swing (and it’s finally starting to feel like it) and we’re already a week into October. This is, inarguably, the busiest time of year for music, whether it be shows, announcements, or releases, and, while we try to bring you every bit of news and content that comes our way,…
With the worldwide tour push and critical acclaim surrounding Lazaretto, the incredible sophomore release from Nashville resident and verifiable rock star Jack White, we knew it would only be a matter of time before a proper Music City date would emerge (Bonnaroo and a one-song Record Store Day performance at Third Man didn’t technically count). And,…
While not quite the household name stateside that he is in Europe, Scottish folk pop/blue-eyed soul singer Paolo Nutini has been a fixture on the singer-songwriter scene for nearly a decade; a fact made all the more impressive when you consider he’s only 27. Out in support of his highly-acclaimed third album, Caustic Love, Nutini will visit…
We told you about how great Catfish and the Bottlemen are back when they were featured as one of our Club Stage Bands of the Day before this year’s Bonnaroo, and, now, the Welsh rockers are making their way back to Tennessee for a show at Exit/In Tuesday night, Oct. 7, with special guests Blackfoot Circle.

One of our most-anticipated local shows of the fall, and easily the can’t-miss club performance of TONIGHT, longtime friends of the site Alanna Royale are celebrating the release of their debut full-length album, Achilles, at Exit/IN with two of Nashville’s other finest acts: Kansas Bible Company and ELEL. If you don’t already know these three bands, then, sadly, we’ve failed you as a…
Local singer-songwriter/producer turned Rihanna cohort and Grammy performer Mikky Ekko has long been working on his full-length debut, and, although we still don’t have a release date announcement, things seem to be inching ever closer, with the brand new premiere of a music video for the singer’s most recent buzzworthy hit, “Smile.” If you didn’t catch…
Following in the footsteps of *repeat repeat, Bradley Warren, Jr., Vinyl Thief, Guthrie Brown, Phin, and Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes, New York indie pop outfit Lily & the Parlour Tricks are the latest act to participate in “Shop Sessions,” an ongoing live in-store performance series, hosted by local apparel and lifestyle brand DCXV. Bearing the distinction of being the first touring…
As we mentioned last month, Brooklyn (by way of South Africa) indie/synthpop artist St. Lucia is set to perform TONIGHT at Cannery Ballroom. While the singer is no stranger to Nashville, having previously opened shows at Marathon Music Works and The Ryman, his last headlining local outing was more than a year and a half ago at considerably smaller…
