With a killer new album which feels like both a return to form and a confident step forward, Backlash, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears are gearing up to play their first Nashville headliner in four years this Sunday, Sept. 10 at Mercy Lounge. An electrifying, genre-bending, and unrivaled live force, Lewis and the band feel criminally underrated for just how much great music…
We’ve been stoked about the chilled out, ambient indie duo Bent Denim‘s gig at The Basement this Saturday, Sept. 9 since we first heard their stellar recent release Diamond Jubilee, and we even gave you chance at winning some free tickets.

Whether you’re…

Returning after back to back supporting spots last fall with Whitney and Ultimate Painting, Brooklyn’s EZTV return to Nashville tonight, Sept. 7 to head up a stellar bill at Drkmttr. Though relatively new, the trio are already prolific and buzzworthy, honing a jangly, nostalgic, pop rock sound over the course of their 2015 debut LP and last year’s self-produced followup, High…
