As announced back in the fall, beloved indie songstress Jenny Lewis and frequent collaborators The Watson Twins are celebrating the tenth anniversary of their classic 2006 debut, Rabbit Fur Coat, Feb. 6 at The Ryman Auditorium with M. Ward. The bad news? Unsurprisingly, it sold out pretty much instantly. The good news? You have a chance to win a pair of tickets! Below,…

Last night, breakout local country star Chris Stapleton made his debut on Saturday Night Live, performing an inspired rendition of “Parachute,” and soulful single “Nobody to Blame,” both from his breakout 2015 freshman solo album, Traveller. Between sweeping the CMAs (where he also collaborated with Justin Timberlake), racking up Grammy nominations, nabbing unprecedented chart success, selling out three upcoming…
A few months back, Grammy award winning hip hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis announced a Jan. 30 performance at Grand Ole Opry House, the pair’s first proper Nashville outing. Despite buzzy summer single “Downtown” (featuring a whole bunch of hip hop royalty and Foxy Shazam’s own Eric Nally), Ed Sheeran collab “Growing Up (Sloane’s Song)” before that, and “Kevin,”…

Ahead of his debut solo album, Painkillers, which he recorded here in Nashville with beloved producer Butch Walker, Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon is embarking on a short tour with a backing band he’s dubbed “The Crowes” (not to be confused with his former side project The Horrible Crowes, though the name is surely no coincidence). Fallon…
Local piano-pop singer-songwriter Brooke Waggoner may be most well-known to some for playing keys in Jack White’s all-female touring band The Peacocks, or for contributing in the studio to White’s solo efforts. That is, after all, where she made appearances on Saturday Night Live and the Grammys, and toured the world before coming back to Nashville…

Because of this, fans (and the band) have taken to referring to them by their colors: Blue, Green, and Red, respectively. A fourth self-titled effort, and the group’s tenth album overall has just been…
Heavy metal legend and shock rock pioneer Alice Cooper just played Nashville in the fall of 2014, opening for Mötley Crüe, but it’s been awhile since he last made his way to Music City with top billing. Just announced for what looks like a random one-off (or perhaps just a precursor to a proper tour announcement),…

This year’s event, which takes…
