A Live Cuts Christmas, featuring The Hillbilly Casino | Tonight @ Parlour & Juke
•
Parlour & Juke is the reason my hair always looks so fantastic (seriously, have you guys seen my hair? shout-out to Savannah!). With an expert staff, offbeat and captivating decor, and a cozy little location on Cannery Row (not to mention the free beer you’re offered while you wait!), it should come as no surprise that…

New Release Spotlight | December 2012, Part 1
•
You might have noticed that I’ve taken a few weeks off from the New Release Spotlight feature. December’s honestly a very slow month for releases. Year-end lists are already done, award nominations are announced, and with the decline of physical media sales, the holiday gifting of MP3s just isn’t the same (though I recommend the gift…

The Protomen | Tonight @ 12th & Porter
•
The Protomen are a somewhat mysterious group of Nashville-based musicians who adopted pop culture-referencing stage names and craft technical ’80s-style rock operas inspired by the videogame Mega Man. If that sentence does not pique your interest, there’s a good chance you’re not The Protomen’s target demographic. If it does, there’s a good chance that you already know and…

TWiN: This Weekend In Nashville |12/21-12/23
•
I’m not wasting a single second on the intro to this blog post. The world is ending today. I’m so certain that it is going to happen that I’m quitting this job, and spending the day with drugs and hookers. Wish me luck. If you had different plans, here’s your weekend rundown. We have a…

Reverend Horton Heat w/Hillbilly Casino and Rickett Pass @ Exit/In Tonight
•
Even though I’m not a modern country music fan, lately I’ve been a fan of musicians with tasteful and/or jaw-dropping chops that make their living playing offshoots of country music, which include bluegrass, Americana, Western swing, and rockabilly. Reverend Horton Heat has those types of musicians, and certainly could be called rockabilly. But they’ve taken the “rock” in…

William Tyler releases “Cadillac Desert” from upcoming full-length Impossible Truth
•
Nashville guitar maestro William Tyler is probably best known for his work with Lambchop, but he stepped out in 2010 with his solo debut Behold The Spirit. The past couple of years have kept him very busy with the release of Lambchop’s Mr. M earlier this year, his family opening the amazing venue/eatery/libation station…

Have Yourself an Eisley Little Christmas | Free Holiday Tunes
•
I love Christmastime. The cheer, the spirit of giving, the decorations, the friends and family. I also love Christmas music, but I feel like there’s a big disparity in quality between old and new Christmas tunes. Let’s be real, most of the Christmas records that get released today (and even throughout the past couple of decades, honestly) are…

A Message To Thunderbitch!
•
So, I was one of the many smashed (in both ways) into Ghot Wingz on Saturday night for that incredible lineup that we told you about last week. The show did not disappoint in any way. I mean, it was one of the best line ups that has been on a single bill this…
