After thoroughly enjoying them during an installment of our No Country Presents showcase at Acme last summer, we’ve been following local psych/Americana rockers Lasso Spells intently (we even helped them release their first ever music video late last year). Over casual beers, we recently chatted with Brett Dudash, one half of the nucleus of Lasso Spells, about the show…
Not as it should come as a surprise to anyone who has lived in Nashville for long, but this weekend is another chock full slate of kickass events in Music City. We have a very special birthday celebration for Exit/In that will be making a lot of the headlines on Monday morning, but, if…
If new single “Tidal Wave” is any indication, Taking Back Sunday‘s upcoming seventh album of the same name (due out Sept. 16 via Hopeless Records) will be the sound of a band finally lowering their inhibitions and allowing their post-emo influences to guide them, culminating in what, we hope, could be their best release since…
Singer-songwriter John Moreland is known for his intimate and inspiring live shows. Now, the Oklahoma-based talent is gearing up for a show at The Basement East on July 29. His third solo album, High on Tulsa Heat, helped Moreland break out as one of the most talked-about acoustic storytellers of 2015. If you missed his…
Alt rock legends Garbage are still going strong more than 20 years after their eponymous debut made them a household name. Out in support of their new sixth album, Strange Little Birds, the influential rockers return to Nashville tonight, July 20 for the first time in 14 years, along with Kristin Kontrol (formerly of Dum Dum Girls), for a performance…
After a bit of a summer hiatus, our Tuesday night showcase series at Acme Feed & Seed returns on July 26 with a four act bill to make up for some lost time. We’ll be featuring local songwriter MOTE, orchestral indie pop outfit Birds in the Airport, R&B tinged popstress Ashley Leone and soulful indie rockers Swimming with Bears. As always, we’re bringing you…
Two eclectic, influential songwriting talents, Chuck Prophet and Joseph Arthur, are teaming up to play City Winery tonight, July 19. With long and prolific careers, both singers could definitely be described as underrated; while they’ve achieved some longstanding and admirable success, neither are, perhaps, the household names they deserve to be, despite their impressive pedigree. Prophet will be joined by…
Well, fellow Nashvillians, the time has come, and rain or shine, Gary Clark Jr. will be setting Ascend Amphitheater ablaze TONIGHT with his smoking’ hot licks. Look for up-and-comer Raury to kick things off on what promises to be a great night of rock ’n’ roll. Some tickets are still available for $30-50, but they likely won’t last, so…
This weekend, July 15-17, marks the return of Louisville’s annual Forecastle Festival, one of our favorite regional musical events. From its humble beginnings in 2002, Forecastle has grown to become a national festival fixture, drawing 10s of thousands of attendees each year to the picturesque downtown Waterfront Park, for three days of music, art, activism, and, of course, Kentucky…
