Fast forward to today, and the band have moved on from San Diego, and moved on again from Brooklyn, to…
Given that we voted his LP Heavy Meta as our best local release of 2017, it should go without saying that we’re excited about what’s next for Nashville transplant and fast rising rocker Ron Gallo. We announced, via a sweet skateboarding video, that Gallo is set to drop a followup to his acclaimed 2017 release with a new…
Canada’s own Deep Dark Woods have been purveying their own mix of alt-country and Americana since 2005.

In support of their highly acclaimed, Grammy nominated, seventh record Sleep Well Beast, The National have added dates to an already extensive 2018 tour, which now includes a stop at Ascend Amphitheater on May 3. The show will mark the first proper Music City stop for the band since a 2013 date at The Ryman, though members…
Daniel Ellsworth + The Great Lakes have been on our radar for about as long as No Country has been around.
