It seems like every year, a new crop of amazing music festivals pops up, and, being the conveniently centrally located city that Nashville is, even many of the out of town ones are pleasantly drivable.

Supergroup Broken Bells have extended their fall North American tour, and, lucky us, it now includes a Sept. 29 stop at the Mother Church itself, The Ryman. The band, which is comprised of The Shins’ James Mercer and superproducer/Gnarls Barkley member Dangermouse, wowed us last weekend at Bonnaroo. Whether you caught them at ‘Roo or not, their Ryman debut,…

Club), which is set to appear on their hotly-antciciapted upcoming debut full-length, He Said, She Said, set to drop Sept. 9.
