The 2022 No Country For New Nashville Music Festival Guide
•
In our decade-long history as a site, 2020 was, for obvious reasons, the first year we went without attending any music festivals. And though a handful of fests did manage to make their return for 2021, we took a second year off, both for safety and because some of the events we regularly cover…

No Country Guide to 2020’s Changing Music Festival Landscape
•
Photo by Andrew Ha. When we first put together this guide to track changes, cancelations, and postponements for the 2020 festival season, it was back in mid-March, still in the early days of public and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic, when so much of the future seemed wholly uncertain. While we’ve maintained updates to…

[REVIEW + PHOTOS] Forecastle 2016
•
Save, perhaps, for Bonanroo (which shares the same production team) there is no other regional festival we can say that, without a doubt, we will attend every year without fail, and can count on to be as well-curated, well-organized, and endlessly fun as Forecastle Fest. We’ve made the trip four years in a row now, falling…

We had plenty of news of upcoming shows, reviews, new music releases,…

It took a lot for us to get back in the swing of things after Forecastle Festival, but that certainly wasn’t due to a lack of exciting stuff going on around Nashville. It was another week chock full of show announcements and news items. But, the most impressive thing was all of the shows…

[REVIEW + PHOTOS] Forecastle 2014
•
A week ago today, we were arriving in Louisville, Ky. for the annual Forecastle Festival. A three-day celebration of music, art, and activism set on the banks of the Ohio River, Forecastle is more than just a junior version of Bonnaroo. Though the two events share a similar vibe (and a common promotional partner),…

No Country in a Nutshell: The Weekly Recap | 6.23-6.29

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…
