It’s been a minute since we last wrote about indie rock outfit Copeland, who initially formed in Lakeland, Florida 25 years ago, and now partially count Nashville as home. Fronted by Aaron Marsh, Copeland quickly gained a cult following for their lush, sad, and earnest 2003 debut Beneath Medicine Tree, and picked up broader critical and…

PeachesThe Blue Room; Nashville, TNSept. 16, 2026 Review by Philip Obenschain. Photos by Tess Schoonhoven. It’s been more than 25 years since Peaches erupted onto the scene with her edgy, sex-positive, postfeminist electroclash classic debut, The Teaches of Peaces, and in the many years and numerous tours since, it’s pretty astounding that, until now,…

It’s been more than five years since Memphis-born, formerly Nashville-based indie singer-songwriter Julien Baker released her third solo album, Little Oblivions.

Best known as the drummer for acclaimed, long-running alt rock trio Paramore, as well as his for fronting his fantastic side project Halfnoise (which began back in 2010, during his stint away from Paramore, and has remained prolific even since rejoining in 2017), Nashville’s Zac Farro has, for the first time, just released a…

It’s only been a couple of years since Nashville native Cecilia Castleman captured our attention with wistful and folky early single “Lonely Nights,” but in the time since, the introspective, poppy, timeless young singer-songwriter has grown an impressive amount both in her artistry and her popularity. Cosigned by the likes of Zane Lowe and…

Formed in 1982 and born out of New York City’s fascinating no wave scene of the late ’70s and early ’80s, genre-bending, experimental outfit Swans originated with and have consistently been helmed by singer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. Renowned in their early days for their noisy, industrial, intense and abrasive sound and nihilistic and…

From the dreamy, forlorn indie folk and Americana of 2017 debut album Good Woman, to the grittier, more indie rock leaning 2020 sophomore effort The Greatest Part, to supergroup Bermuda Triangle, alongside Brittany Howard and Jesse Lafser, to collaborations with other renowned local artists like Hayley Williams and Julien Baker, eclectic singer-songwriter Becca Mancari has, without a doubt,…
