Don’t Miss Back to Back Nashville Shows from Briar Rabbit | Jan. 27 & 28 @ The Basement
•
Unfamiliar with Chicago singer-songwriter Briar Rabbit? We bet you know a thing or two about his uncle, B.B. King. Though he takes a more straightforward pop approach than King (Rabbit is self-described as “thought-pop”), Briar channels his impressive knack for immersive, expertly crafted, and emotionally resonant compositions. Very much a unique performer in his own…

Juicy J to Play Marathon Music Works March 23
•
Talk about a late career resurgence. Memphis rapper Juicy J first rose to fame as a founding member of hip hop collective Three 6 Mafia in the early ’90s, but, throughout the mid-00’s, had started fading a bit from recognition.

Manchester Orchestra to Play Cannery Ballroom May 31
•
Atlanta indie rockers Manchester Orchestra last properly played Nashville in 2011. However, some of its various members have passed through more recently with other projects, most prominently Kevin Devine collab Bad Books.

Don’t Miss The Menzingers, Off with Their Heads, & Free Throw | TONIGHT @ The End

This time last year, we named The Menzingers‘ On the Impossible Past one of the Best Records of 2012. Nearly two years after its release, the album still stands as one of the most well-written, perfectly poppy yet vehemently aggressive, thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end punk records in recent memory. It’s been years since the…

Though it has waned in popularity since its ’90s heyday, the show remains a great outlet for showcasing artists in a stripped down setting, often in stark contrast to the sound they’re known for. Miley Cyrus Unplugged will…
