Can HONEYHONEY just go ahead and have a residency at 3rd & Lindsley? Because they sure do love to play there a lot (see this post and this post). Not that we’re complaining at all; in fact, it’s just the opposite. The dynamic duo of Suzanne Santo and Ben Jaffe have been touring extensively since…

Chaos Emeralds, the brand new project that combines the creative forces of Nashville locals Daniel Ellsworth (of Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes) and solo artist Kyle Andrews, were originally supposed to make their live debut before they’d even released their first song. Unfortunately, those plans fell through due to #Snowpacolypse2016, which forced their…

Local folk duo Elenowen are joined by South Carolina pop singer Nathan Angelo and Knoxville singer-songwriters William Wild at The High Watt tonight, Feb. 4!

Local indie popsters Kopecky are coming off a huge 2015, thanks, in no small part, to their breakout sophomore effort, Drug for the Modern Age. We’ve been obsessing over these guys for years, but it’s great to see the rest of the world finally following suit, and with success comes increased media exposure. Continuing their press blitz…

Continuing a media tour in promotion of their new album, the Dan Auerbach-produced Tell Me I’m Pretty, which, in recent months, has included stops on The Tonight Show and The Late Late Show, local rockers Cage the Elephant appeared on Conan last night to perform downtempo single “Trouble.” As it’s not as rowdy a tune, the guys delivered an appropriately calm, but sonically…

Over the past few years, indie/pop punk outfit Say Anything have transitioned from pseudo-band (always the brainchild of singer and songwriter Max Bemis, but with a more or less fixed live lineup) to one man show with a revolving door of contributors and players, and, as a result, have taken more artististic risks and experimental leaps than…

In 2012, legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr celebrated his 72nd birthday at Nashville’s own Ryman Auditorium, with a star-studded bash that ultimately ended up being filmed and released on DVD as Ringo at The Ryman. Four years later, the “Yellow Submarine” singer and his long-running supergroup, Ringo & His All Starr Band, are finally set…

New Jersey indie rockers The Front Bottoms have been reviving emo since before it was cool, composing criminally-underrated tunes across five fantastic full-lengths (three with label backing), most recently 2015 effort Back on Top, the band’s first for Fueled By Ramen. The group’s earnest, energetic tunes are overshadowed only by their magnetic live show, and after playing…

Gearing up to release his sixth album, Ouroboros, March 4 via RCA Records, acclaimed folk rock singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne has just announced a massive three-month summer tour, which returns him to Nashville July 29 for a performance at Ascend Amphitheater.

15 years into their existence, and more than five since they cemented their status as indie rock mainstays with 2010’s Halcyon Digest, Atlanta shoegaze-y noise popsters Deerhunter are still going strong, celebrating the recent release of their seventh album, Fading Frontier. The scene faves were previously confirmed to play Southern California’s Coachella fest, and, as bands are wont to…
