Nashville; has it been a long time since you rock ’n’ rolled? If so we have just the band for you. Tonight 12th & Porter presents Zepparella, an all-female Led Zeppelin cover band, who will be melting skulls for just $10!

As we told you back in the spring, folky singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne is set to make his return to Nashville tonight, July 25, at The Woods Amphitheater at Fontanel.

We already spent some time telling you about Beck’s incredible two night run at The Ryman last week, and we’re trying to put our collective (still hungover) heads together to tell you all about Forecastle last weekend in Louisville, KY. In the meantime, you can get your fix of Mr. Hansen performing a good…
