It’s been a minute, but we’re thrilled to start rolling out more frequent, ongoing show coverage again for 2024, including monthly rundowns of some of the Nashville area shows and events we’re most excited for! Below, you’ll find our top picks for April, complete with details and ticket links (tip: hit “listen” to hear music from each headliner, along with a few embedded previews throughout). We’ll also continue running individual show spotlights, reviews and photo galleries, and more, so be sure to keep an eye on the site and follow us on social media (especially Instagram and X) for the latest. And head here for our current ticket giveaways. If you’re an Apple Music user (and someone who reads these intros), you can also preview a playlist of many of these artists (as well a some with shows coming up in May) here from editor Philip Obenschain, which will likely find its way to our Spotify as well after some tinkering.
Do you have a show coming up that you’re playing or excited to attend? Do you see anything below that we missed? We now have a show submission form where you can let us know about upcoming events: SUBMIT SHOWS HERE (we also have a Spotify Playlist submission form, if you’re also looking for that as well). And a final note: all of the info below is reflected as accurately as possible, but please refer to official venue calendars (we’ve provided ticket and info links where possible) for the latest and most up to date info.
Here are all of the events we’re looking forward to in April:
