Those of you not at The Basement on Friday night (that includes us) have probably read all about local songstress Mackenzie Scott (d.b.a. Torres) over at Nashville Cream. While I was blissfully ear to ear smiling at The Belcourt Theater watching Dave Grohl (and dozens of other megastars) make unbelievable sounds on a particular…

Unbeknownst to most, Jim James snuck down to 8th Avenue South on Friday night for a secret show at The Basement. We were lucky enough to be invited to one of the best shows that this guy has seen in a long, long, long (maybe ever) time. After filling up about a quarter of…

It’s Super Bowl weekend, and that means that you have every excuse to sit your ass on the couch on Sunday to overeat food that makes you gassy and watch the Niners whoop that ass. You’ll also a short set of some pretty heavy duty music for your halftime entertainment, and let’s hope it…

After the announcement a couple of weeks ago that The Civil War’s Barton Hollow went gold, leave it to Grimey’s to set up a kickass celebration for them. I guess that is the least that they deserve after selling 500,000 records. You can check…

San Antonio based Hacienda is spending the weekend in Nashville, and it is definitely something that should be on your radar. There music is a fun, summertime, inspirational stewpot with two dashes of Spoon, a teaspoon of The Beach Boys, a sprinkle of Foster The People, a Fitz & The Tantrums garnish, and a…

Nashville Cream confirmed the news last night that the beloved Nashville music institution, Grimeys, is expanding into an adjacent building. The expansion will include a bookstore, a cafe, more records, a possible food truck court, and a patio for chillaxin’. There are also some rumors that the expanded rear acreage will allow for some pretty…

Did everyone check out Mike Grimes on Channel 4 News? If not, have at it by clicking on that handsome mug below or right here. I don’t think it did enough to tell how much of a stalwart in the local music scene Mike really is, but we are very glad that they got…

You remember us going all batty about the Old Crow Medicine Show at The Grand Ole Opry last weekend? Well, we’ve been checking out some interesting tweets this week from Grimey’s about a “kind of” secret show going on in town. If you head down to the store on South 8th, and preorder the…
