J. Roddy Walston & The Business, Friday in Knoxville & Saturday In Nashville
•
Do you remember Bonnaroo? Man, that seems like so long ago. Gone are those filthy hot days and we are easing into fall around here (thank your god). What I do remember from Bonnaroo was how freaking awesome J. Roddy Walston & The Business were in that little tent on the farm, and, guess…

Dreamers Of The Ghetto, Grimeys, Tonight in Nashville
•
Ok, maybe this one should be called “This Evening In Nashville”. I mean, really, if you go to a short set that starts at 6pm, you are going to go out for dinner and probably a couple of drinks before you even head out for the night. Regardless, you should swing by Grimey’s this…

Arctic Monkeys & Smith Westerns, War Memorial, Tonight In Nashville
•
I have seen both of these bands this year, and what do you think they had in common? I didn’t expect much out of either, and both Smith Westerns and Arctic Monkeys turned out to be festival highlights for me. Spin Magazine also agrees that this tour is one of the top 30 of…

YUCK!, Mercy Lounge, Tonight In Nashville

It’s a funny looking headline, I know. But, if you haven’t heard about the band YUCK! yet, then you have probably been hiding under a rock for the past few months… If that is the case, I’m not judging, but I’m glad I caught your attention to tell you what to do tonight in…

Wilco at the Ryman TONIGHT!
•
Man, I’ve been having trouble writing today. I don’t know if it was a long week, and I am tired… or maybe I just don’t know how to talk about Wilco in a way that everyone and their father (insert dad rock reference here) doesn’t know…. or maybe I am just still mesmerized by…

She Might Bite, The 5 Spot, Tonight In Nashville
•
So, you aren’t in the mood for the experimental, multi-instrumental madness of Tune-Yards tonight? Well, I think I’ve got something else that might tickle your fancy. Yeah, I got your back… you can still have something to do tonight in Nashville. Don’t hang out in your basement with your toys tonight. Get out and…

tUnE-yArDs, Exit/In, Friday
•
tUnE-yArDs is playing at Exit/In on Friday night, and I am going to let you know why I think you should go see it. That is also the last time that I am going to spell the name of Tune-Yards with it’s (technically corrrect) “RaNsOm NoTe” caps. Why? Because it is like me trying…

My Morning Jacket, Memorial Gym, October 20th
•
How did I miss this last week? How can I hear about the December 14th MMJ/Band of Horses show at Madison Square Garden, but not hear about them opening their tour with a stop at Nashville’s Memorial Gymnasium?!? I’m slipping. Luckily for all of us tickets are still available. This show should have a…
