Catch Jimmy Eat World w/ The Hotelier & Microwave | Saturday, May 12 @ The Ryman

With over 20 years of beloved and essential releases, few bands have been as important to the emo scene or have maintained as much breakout, immeasurable influence as Jimmy Eat World, who first rose to widespread recognition in the early ’00s (but made a big impact in the underground several years prior).
