One of our most-anticipated local shows of the fall, and easily the can’t-miss club performance of TONIGHT, longtime friends of the site Alanna Royale are celebrating the release of their debut full-length album, Achilles, at Exit/IN with two of Nashville’s other finest acts: Kansas Bible Company and ELEL.
