Barely two weeks ago, Seattle indie folk rockers The Head and the Heart were busy wowing us at Live on the Green, and, mere months before that, at Bonnaroo. And, as magical as those performances were, some of the subtle nuances and layers of the sextet’s sound are inevitably lost outdoors. For that reason alone, we’re…
Nashville’s favorite rock and roll sons, Diarrhea Planet, stopped by famed Seattle radio station KEXP last month to film performances of five songs, “Lite Dream,” new Adult Swim single “Spooners,” brand new single “Platinum Girls,” “White Girls (Student of the Blues, Pt. 1),” and “Teepee Toes,” and the entire session has now made its way…
Earlier this summer, we raved about Jenny Lewis‘ fantastic Forecastle performance, and, in the months since, have been spinning her incredible new album, The Voyager, pretty much nonstop. So, unsurprisingly, we’re beyond pleased to announce that the California songstress and former member of Rilo Kiley and The Postal Service will return to Nashville for her first…
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.

Hip hop supergroup Run the Jewels, which consists of acclaimed rapper Killer Mike and producer/rapper EL-P blew us away last summer, when they made their Nashville debut at Exit/In, so we’re thrilled to announce that the duo are set to return this fall, Oct. 22. Out in anticipation of their upcoming sophomore release, RTJ2 (due out Oct. 28 via…

Following in the footsteps of *repeat repeat, Bradley Warren, Jr., Vinyl Thief, Guthrie Brown, and Phin, Nashville indie rockers Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes are the latest act to participate in “Shop Sessions,” an ongoing live in-store performance series, hosted by local apparel and lifestyle brand DCXV. A favorite of the site for quite sometime, Ellsworth and co. have had a fantastic…
One of Nashville’s best rock bands, psych/grunge duo JEFF the Brotherhood, have announced three back to back performances, Oct. 24, 25, & 26 and The End. It’s rare to see the group in such a small space in Nashville these days, especially with such forewarning, making these shows some of our most-anticipated of the fall. We’ve been hearing rumblings…
The last full week of August was a busy one. So busy, in fact, that our coverage spilled over into this lengthy monthlong recap post. Between fall show announcements, the beginning and end of festivals and concert series, Best of Nashville voting, another installment of our Acme Feed & Seed Showcase, a new episode of…
While we’d like to think we know everything about every up and coming act in Nashville, every once in awhile a talented new band manages to fly under our radar for a little longer than we’d care to admit.
