If you follow us regularly, then surely, by now, you’re familiar with Wisconsin indie pop outfit Phox. By our count, the group played Nashville three times last year, once in a headlining spot at The High Watt, and also in high profile opening slots with Paolo Nutini and, most recently, The Head and the Heart. Tonight, the…

A few weeks back, we got word that Sports Illustrated had inexplicably chosen Nashville as the location to host their 2015 Swimsuit Fan Festival, an event to celebrate the release of their popular, annual Swimsuit issue (which hits newsstands Feb. 9).

Our love for local soul/funk outfit Alanna Royale is no secret, so it’s always good news when we get to announce a new Nashville date for the band. While we’ve seen them pop up here and there in 2015, their first proper headlining Music City show of the new year is set to take place Feb. 27 at Mercy…

Local-ish rockers Cage The Elephant stopped by Conan earlier this week to perform “Cigarette Daydreams,” a downtempo track from their Grammy-nominated 2013 album, Melophobia. As you may recall, the group dropped a music video for the song last summer, right before they rocked Live On The Green.
