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).

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.

The vocal powerhouse and American Idol alum has had an impressive run over…
Entering its second season, new downtown showspace Ascend Amphitheater is already lining up some highly-anticipated events for the summer and fall, including twenty one pilots, Duran Duran, Heart, Joan Jett, and Cheap Trick, and many more!

Earlier this week, we told you that pop rockers Parachute were set to return to Cannery Ballroom on May 6, in support of their upcoming album, and, now, we’ve just learned a bit more about the release, and received a preview in the form of first single “Without You.” Called Wide Awake, the LP will arrive March 11, and serves…
Grammy nominated Brooklyn hard rock trio Highly Suspect stopped by Conan last night to perform “Bloodfeather,” the latest single from their critically acclaimed 2015 album Mister Asylum. Capitalizing on the platform, singer Johnny Stevens took a moment to urge America to vote for “anybody but Trump,” before launching into the song.
