One of the most versatile, compelling, and dynamic groups in the scene, we shouldn’t have to…
We’ve been raving about the sounds of Poliça ever since their first Nashville show at The Basement in support of their 2012 debut, Give You The Ghost.

Alternative folk band Hurray for the Riff Raff have gained acclaim for frontwoman Alynda Lee Segarra’s fresh perspective on the sound and stories of traditional southern music. Their 2014 major label debut Small Town Heroes gained tons of praise for its stories about Segarra’s hometown of New Orleans (via the Bronx). That post-Katrina record is…
Georgia-based alt rockers Futurebirds are back in town for a headlining performance at 3rd and Lindsley on April 17. If you somehow missed their stop at Mercy Lounge last October, you skipped a dreamy live performance that mixed the rebellious style of southern rock with the grungy psychedelia of the 1970s.
