Returning to Nashville for the third time this year (after claiming no tour plans upon reuniting last fall for a new album – but hey, you won’t catch us complaining), beloved indie rockers Copeland sure seem to be properly reunited. This marks their first true headlining touring since going on hiatus more than half a decade…
Nashville (and, it seems, everywhere else) can’t get enough of X Ambassadors. The New York group, celebrating the release of their buzzworthy full-length debut, VHS, are headed back to town Nov. 1 for a performance at Marathon Music Works (upgraded from Exit/In), along with Kevin Garrett and Stokeswood. Their third Music City outing this year, and fourth since last fall, X Ambassadors’ mass…
Since the release of their third studio album Monterey, acclaimed indie-folk duo the Milk Carton Kids have been touring relentlessly. On Nov. 5, they’ll stop at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s James K. Polk Theater for a night of sweeping acoustic ballads that are sure to tug at your heartstrings. Don’t assume this show will be just another acoustic singer-songwriter…
It seems as if 2015 has been a stellar year for first-time festivals here in Nashville. With the success of last week’s Pilgrimage Fest, we already have our eyes on the next treat Middle Tennessee has to offer us, and that is the debut of the SoundHarvest Music Festival. This new event will take place at…
AmericanaFest may have just ended, but that doesn’t mean there’s no more great Americana music happening in town. We’re giving away a pair of tickets to a superb roots music show Oct. 7 at Marathon Music Works featuring Rhiannon Giddens with support from the duo Birds of Chicago. Giddens is best known for her work…
Seattle singer-songwriter Noah Gundersen is making his way back to Nashville for what is sure to be a powerful night of music at Cannery Ballroom. Just weeks after releasing his second full-length record, Carry the Ghost, he’ll take the stage along with opening act Field Report on Oct. 9. If you’re a fan of Gundersen’s…
“Conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision” Death Grips were presumed finished, after announcing their intention to disband last year, but, for fans who’ve followed the trio’s high-concept, intentionally cryptic, and often deceptive style of presentation, that abrupt end never felt quite permanent, especially with half an album still to be released. That skepticism proved…
When the No Country team reminisces on our favorite shows of the best few years, Beach House‘s 2012 outing at Marathon Music Works always comes up as a standout performance. Boasting a layered and nuanced live style that perfectly brings to life their dream pop songs (five near-perfect albums’ worth, at this point), the band…
Hitting the road in anticipation of their long-awaited sophomore LP, Wiped Out! (due out Oct. 30), SoCal indie rockers The Neighbourhood are set to return to Nashville for the third time in just as many years later this month, Sept. 25 at, for the first time, The Ryman Auditorium, along with buzzworthy up and comers Bad Suns and Hunny. While tickets for this epic…
Genre-bending, boundary pushing Canadian post-rock collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor return to Nashville for their first headlining show in three years later this month, Sept. 19 at Marathon Music Works (notably, Godspeed played Bridgestone Arena with Nine Inch Nails in 2013) with Xylouris White, out in support of their new album, Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress. With a live show like no other, a loyal…
