Songwriter and filmmaker Kate Tucker has been a treasure to the Nashville indie scene since moving here from New York in 2011. We’ve always admired the way Kate captures massive, sweeping feelings and events without leaving behind the intimate, day-to-day moments.

Though they’ve been together now for several years, and an increasing live presence in the local scene as of late, 2020 has seemingly been something of a transformative soft reset and new chapter for indie pop outfit Blonde Bones, whose debut LP, Hiding Out, is due out next month!

Though their roots trace back a number of years, formed by brothers and lifelong musicians Graham and Miles Laderman, and close friend Val Hoyt, in their native Atlanta, it wasn’t until individually relocating to Nashville, regrouping and rounding out their lineup with Noah Christian, and undergoing something of a formal reboot of their sound and style (including wiping…

Raised in a musical family and surrounded by talented songwriters from a young age, Nashville native Hank Compton, like so many prodigious young performers, cut his teeth in the blues scene, performing in groups, drawing accolades, and gracing impressive stages while still a teen. 2018 debut solo single “What You’ve Put Me Through,” however, marked a…
