When folks think of airparks around Nashville, they likely conjure thoughts of the abandoned Cornelia Fort in Shelby Park. However, Ben and Michael Ford Jr. are well on their way to redefining that association. The Ford Brothers both sought new musical paths after the unfortunate dissolution of long-running local rock staple Apache Relay, and have teamed up…

As we told you weeks ago, local rockers The Pink Spiders will reunite at Mercy Lounge on Saturday, Aug. 6 with their original lineup to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their major label debut, Teenage Graffiti. The 18+ show gets started at 9 p.m., and, as of our writing, $10 tickets are still available, but we are likely to…

We’ve been hyping this release for a month, and now the time has come for local Bluesman Jack Berry to unleash his new record, Mean Machine, for everyone to enjoy. Our advanced copy has been in heavy, heavy listening rotation, and we look forward to seeing if everyone else agrees it’s a top local…

For a number of years, East Nashville Underground served as a quarterly, weekend-long, drunken get-together; a showcase of some of Nashville’s finest up and coming artists (many of whom have gone on to do some very impressive things since) that grew out of its basement beginnings to literally putting The East Room on the map.

Congratulations to local rockers Sol Cat who won last night’s inaugural 2015 Road to Bonnaroo competition. DeRobert & The Half Truths and Tesla Rossa gave them a run for their money finishing in second and third place, respectively.
