Don’t Miss Tommy Stinson (The Replacements) | TONIGHT @ Luna Record Shop
•
Best known as the bassist and founding member of seminal ’80s punk/alternative group The Replacements (who reconvened in 2013, only to split once more in 2015), as well as for his 18 year tenure in Guns N’ Roses (which ended amicably in 2016 to make way for their current classic lineup reunion), Tommy Stinson is inarguably a…

The wave of SXSW buzzy bands appears to have died down slightly from the onslaught of the past few weeks, not to mention that the uber cool Big Ears Festival is swallowing up the more eclectic acts in Knoxville this weekend, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some incredible shows on the radar. From incredible…

Don’t Miss Soccer Mommy w/ Idle Bloom & Dancers | TONIGHT @ The East Room
•
It’s only been a couple of years since local artist Sophie Allison first felt emboldened to embrace a lifetime of songwriting prowess, and released her introductory crop of bedroom recordings online under the moniker Soccer Mommy.

[TICKET GIVEAWAY] Khruangbin w/ The Mattson 2 | April 2 @ The Basement East

When you hear “instrumental music” applied to contemporary bands, at least in the scene we frequent, it’s typically some sort of post-rock or droning metal or electronic outfit doing something cool, but wholly removed from the instrumental outfits of the past. Though unmistakably new, Khruangbin find their instrumental influences in musical traditions that span many decades,…

•
Building a strong local following one show/dance party at a time, genre bending collective LUTHI (fronted by Christian Luthi) have been hard at work in the studio since the release of their stellar EP, Home Again, back in 2016.

[TICKET GIVEAWAY] Twin Peaks w/ The Districts & Chrome Pony | March 30 @ The Basement East
•
One of the best bands to emerge from the underground garage rock scene in recent years, Chicago’s Twin Peaks only released their debut less than five years ago, but already feel like a familiar, accomplished, and proven musical force, thanks to a relentless tour schedule, several more excellent albums, and the chops to back up their…

[NO COUNTRY PREMIERE] Joel Levi Debuts “Middle of Everywhere” Ahead of Self-titled LP
•
We’ve been tuned onto the musical talents of Indiana transplant Joel Levi for a while now, and the last time we caught him live, we couldn’t help but notice some tremendous lyrical growth on his new songs. That’s not to say he was lacking before, but Music City has a knack for rubbing off on…

Steven Tyler to Play The Woods at Fontanel May 12
•
While his iconic and long-running band Aerosmith seem to be inching towards an inevitable conclusion (they’ve been operating intermittently for years, and have been embarking here and there on global treks marketed as their last), legendary singer Steven Tyler has shown no intention of bowing out of music entirely. As was well-documented a few years back,…
