Spring is in full swing, and that means that the return of long-running, free concert series Musicians Corner is right around the, uh, corner. Back for its eighth season, the all ages weekend fest, which takes places in Centennial Park, and spans across Fridays and Saturdays in May, June, August, and September, has just revealed its…
Like many groups who disappeared for decades, only to resurface a generation later, beloved British sensation The Zombies might be hard to keep up with. Muddied further by decades of imposer acts trying to play under their name, the band, who initially broke up in 1967, reunited intermittently in the ’90s, and have been in full reunion…
To say Chris Shiflett has had a career most artists would kill for would be an understatement. The California native, who rose to prominence in the ’90s with Bay Area punks No Use for a Name, is, of course, best known for his role as guitarist of the Foo Fighters, a band he’s been a part…
A couple weeks ago, HalfNoise, the indie rock solo vehicle of Zac Farro (originally, then formerly, and now once again, of Paramore), released his latest EP, The Velvet Face, a swift followup to last fall’s sophomore full-length, Sudden Feeling. Recorded here in Nashville at Pioneer Sound, and co-produced by longtime collaborator Daniel James, the EP marks, perhaps, HalfNoise’s greatest…

Though they…
The weather is feeling very spring-ish, and we are beginning to see outdoor events starting back up to compete with the usual nighttime club shows. This weekend features the uber popular East Nashville Beer Festival, which will have some cool music curated by our friends at The Basement East. If you don’t like beer or…
Easily one of the most recognizable members of seminal New York hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah made his solo debut more than 20 years ago with Ironman, and, with over a dozen LPs in two decades, has crafted countless critically-acclaimed efforts, including 2006’s Fishscale, generally considered to be one of the best releases by any Wu-Tang…
Looking for the perfect way to spend your Friday night? It’s not often that you get the chance to see a celebrated violin virtuoso like Kishi Bashi in such an intimate venue like The Basement East. But the musical master is here in support of his 2016 record Sonderlust, which has been praised for its emotional and…
Sure, Nashville has finally earned praise for its rock scene in recent years, but it’s time for the city’s impressive and ever-growing roster of pop artists to get their time in the spotlight. Local music community PØPSQUAD has been doing their part to bring together pop singers, songwriters, and fans here in town. Now, they’re presenting a bill…
Hailing originally from Richmond, VA, and now partially based in Nashville, Those Manic Seas are a band we’ve mentioned a few times as they’ve passed though town on tour, both for their interesting style and their unique frontman, Kilroy, who appears as images projected on a television mounted to a mannequin. Gearing up to release their new…
