At the end of last week, Nashville-based country pop songstress Kacey Musgraves made her latest television appearance, this time on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, to perform in support of her newest release, last year’s Grammy nominated Pageant Material, which we recently named one of the Best Albums of 2015. Ditching her typical “rhinestone revue” vibe, Musgraves took a more…

Always eager to add to the real local music scene conversation, we’d like to introduce you to the latest addition to an ever growing roster of kickass garage rockers inhabiting Music City.

It’s been more than five years since Nashville based artist Josh Farro and his brother Zac (now of HalfNoise, who we frequently cover) departed seminal rock band Paramore. In the time since, Josh has kept comparatively low-key, originally working on a project with his brother called Novel American, before ultimately finding a new outlet,…

The beginning of a new year means it’s time again to get excited about (and start saving up for) summer music festivals, as they as further lineups roll in and tickets begin to go on sale.

After announcing a tour and then keeping quiet for the holidays (the last month or so), Nashville beer-loving emo kings Free Throw are coming out of the gate at a full sprint. Heading out on a month-long stint across the U.S. with Young & Heartless, the tour kick-off show is tonight, Jan. 7 at The End, with Daisyhead and Sinai Vessel opening up. You…

The Nashville Alternators take the stage at 3rd and Lindsley tonight, playing classic rock and soul songs of the ’60s and ’70s, leaning more often than not towards The Beatles and Paul McCartney. Don’t confuse them with any normal cover band, and don’t associate them with any stereotypical conceptions of a normal cover band performance.…

Bonnaroo‘s annual lineup guessing game, Roo Clues, is currently underway, and, similar to last year, it seems that they’ll all be Instagram-based word games (a definite shift from past years with real-life scavenger hunts and elaborate riddles, but we’ll take it).
