It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of The Smiths and Morrissey. We’ve covered Moz’s two shows (and almost-shows) in recent years after a decade of skipping Nashville, as well as the Pope of Mope’s headliner at last year’s Riot Fest, Johnny Marr’s solo debut at Marathon Music Works in 2013, and in themed weeks…
In our constant quest to bring you new and fresh showcases in our long-running live music series at Acme Feed & Seed, we’re switching up the format for the next three months to host extra special rooftop parties, something we’ve done only a handful of times in the pasts. The first show in our new rooftop…

Nashville has plenty of gifted singer-songwriters, but two of the city’s most talented transplants will take the stage to share their raw, honest and hypnotizing tunes with the masses. Folk troubadour Renn and gritty poet Shannon LaBrie are teaming up for a co-headlining show at Mercy Lounge on Thursday, Aug. 24. There are a few tickets still available here, but we’re…
We’ve been huge fans of Waxahatchee, the musical vehicle of skilled songwriter and Alabama native turned Brooklynite turned Philadelphian Katie Crutchfield, since her lo-fi 2012 debut American Weekend, and delighted in watching her stature rise and sound evolve with 2013’s buzzy Cerulean Salt, and 2015’s emotionally resonant Ivy Tripp. With her latest, Out in the Storm, which arrived just lost…
We’ve been excited about this one for a while now, and we even gave you a chance at free tickets, but now the time has arrived! Southern jam band Perpetual Groove are bringing their stellar live performance to The Basement East this Saturday, Aug. 12. Add prog rock outfit CBDB in supporting spot, and you the recipe for a great night…
Tomato Art Fest is the big show stealer this weekend with musical events (and a world record attempt) happening on Friday and Saturday. If you aren’t a fan of the big crowds (or fruit-vegetables), fret not fearless music lover, this weekend is still spacked to the gills with shows both big and small happening…
For over a decade, Tomato Art Fest has been a quirky, beloved East Nashville staple, celebrating the local music and art community with tons of artisan vendors, free live music, vaguely and outright tomato themed activities, and more. The annual event returns this weekend, Aug. 12, with a special Kick-Off Concert and various early activities slated for Aug.…
We’ve been singing the praises of local r&b/pop artist Jeffrey James for several years now, who commanded our attention with last year’s Walls EP, and followed it up with a sonic leap forward on his latest, Unsaid, back in the spring. Most recently, James wowed us with his debut at Forecastle Fest, and has continued to dominate the blogosphere with…
West Virginia’s Rozwell Kid have been a buzzworthy fixture in the underground pop punk, indie, and power pop scene for several years running. Boasting a sound reminiscent of early Weezer, but with a fuzzy, modern, and punk fueled twist, the group’s last full-length, Too Shabby, was one of the most criminally underrated records of 2014, and their…
