The Felice Brothers, Robert Ellis Mercy Lounge; Nashville, TN July 2, 2014 Review by Beth McAllister I showed up to the venue just ten minutes before the show began, and it almost seemed like an awkward middle school dance. Every table against the wall was taken, and no one was hanging out in the…

Tomorrow might be the official start of the Independence Day weekend, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start celebrating tonight at the fourth installment of Nashville Dancin’. In case you’ve somehow managed not to catch any of our previous coverage of the first three weeks (which you can find here), the concert series takes place…

Though he’s been a part of many successful and largely under the radar groups over the years, the two most prominent, perhaps, are Reigning Sound and the Oblivians. The latter, punk-leaning outfit, played Exit/In last fall; part…

We may be decades removed from California’s hippie movement, but Santa Barbara’s Gardens & Villa bring the peace and love with a fresh dose of synths and flute. They just announced a show at The High Watt on September 30, and dropped a new music video. The flute-driven earworm for single “Domino” would make…

In just two days, we’ll be celebrating the independence of our nation – and what better way to begin the week of America’s birthday than by going to a show dedicated to Americana folk/rock music?

Earlier this year Vinyl Thief released Stop Motion, a fantastic followup to their 2012 debut EP, Rebel Hill, and something of an appetizer, a way to whet our palettes ahead of the main course: their upcoming debut full-length, Fathoms. While we still have to wait until July 22 to hear the whole thing, the band have begun building buzz…

Last week brought plenty of fantastic show announcements, but local free concert series Live on the Green might have topped them all, bagging headliners like Cage the Elephant and Jake Bugg. The week wasn’t all announcements though; we also had a chance to catch some amazing live shows, and brought you some exciting new contests. In…
