Happy Thursday Nashville! If you’re at all like us, Thursday has become your favorite day of the week in this past month. Why’s that? Nashville Dancin’, of course. The free concert series (which we’ve covered a few times before) has been a real success this summer, drawing folks out to Riverfront Park for the past two weeks…

If you crave drama and excitement put to some amazing music, then The High Watt is where you want to be tonight. The only band featured for the evening is Jail Weddings, but the group’s eccentric way of presenting themselves is enough to upstage anyone, so it makes sense that they’re the only ones on the lineup for…

They’re heading our way on Wednesday, July 2nd at Marathon Music Works. Synthrock group Bad Things will open up the evening. We’re…

Supergroup Broken Bells have extended their fall North American tour, and, lucky us, it now includes a Sept. 29 stop at the Mother Church itself, The Ryman. The band, which is comprised of The Shins’ James Mercer and superproducer/Gnarls Barkley member Dangermouse, wowed us last weekend at Bonnaroo. Whether you caught them at ‘Roo or not, their Ryman debut,…
