Tonight’s gonna be full of glitter, butt shakin, and raunchy rotating. I’m in. Are you? A few months ago, I was hangin’ out at the Stone Fox having a beer and watching a couple of local bands. It was shortly after the first group ended their set when I noticed the Mason jar (TN beer pint glass) in my…

Y’all know I love the Mayfields. I was stupid excited for the Sibling Rivalry Tour stop back in December and had such a good time, I added it to the list of the best shows in town all year.

By Contributor Andrew Johnson Tonight, Friday August 17, Heypenny, Umbrella Tree and Daniel Ellsworth And The Great Lakes take the stage at the High Watt. I will be in attendance.

I’ve had the video of Mystery Twins new EP “Love Is Strange” up on my computer for a little while now. It’s Doug Lehmann and Stephanie Brush’s (from Nashville’s The Clutters) little side project, and it’s pretty damn addictive. Have a listen and watch this mesmerizing little drinking bird. If you dig what you…
