With 11 full-lengths to their name, not to mention countless EPs, DVDs, live…

Back in November, we geeked out at the news that classic rock guitarist Robin Trower would be bringing his insane guitar skills to a headlining show at Marathon Music Works on Friday, April 8. Although you may not know him by name, Trower is one of the most legendary British blues-rock guitarists in history. From his early days in rock group Procol…

While, in all likelihood, you best know Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sam Palladio from his role as Gunnar on ABC’s Nashville, you should also know him for skill as a solo artist, as he preps to release his first album, forged from several years and countless experiences across stages and studios in Music City and beyond, thanks to recognition from the show, but…

Japanese born, New York based “action comic punks” Peelander-Z seem to make it to Nashville at least once a year these days, and that’s more than alright with us.

Proggy, metallic alt rockers Coheed and Cambria just played Nashville last summer, but you’d be forgiven if you didn’t know that, given it was at the ill-fated Ink N Iron Fest. Their last true headliner came in 2012, in-between the two-part release of The Aftermath: Ascension and The Aftermath: Descension. It’s their latest and eight album, The Color Before the Sun,…
