  • Kurt Vile and The Violators at Mercy Lounge on August 5th

    Tonight in Nashville…. I can’t believe as I am writing this that tickets are still available!  It’s amazing.  This dude would literally sell out venues twice the size in a matter of minutes in other cities.  So, what does that mean?  Number 1, Nashville needs to know more about him…. and Number 2, you…

    Tonight in Nashville, WHOA!!!! Do you know about Trigger Hippy?  No, not that Morcheeba song (“Trigger Hippie”) that you cheesed out to back in the day.  I’m talking about the “super”group that teased in 2009, and has since resurfaced with new recruits Joan Osbourne and Jackie Greene.  The band’s founding members are ex-Black Crowes…

  • Delicate Steve, The Basement, July 22

    Delicate Steve (a.k.a. Steve Marion) is an enigma who is described in his press release as a 40 piece multi-instumentalist, who sounds like My Bloody Valentine without the guitars, and is destined to be a wordless, new jersey, U2.  NPR did a great story about unraveling the truly hysterical and totally fake press release…

  • Bobby Bare Jr’s Nashville house party on July 23

    Bobby Bare Jr. is a staple of awesome music for many of us in the Nashville area.  Yes, he is the son of Bobby Bare, but the music is definitely his own.  Steeped in musical tradition having grown up in nearby Hendersonville, BBJr’s musical influence can be attributed to his neighbors (George Jones and…

  • Deleted Scenes w/ Parachute Musical and Photo Ops, The End, July 8th

    Tonight in Nashville… Washington DC based band, Deleted Scenes has that promise of a great young band, that is reminiscent of the way I felt about My Morning Jacket when I first saw them play at the beginning of the last decade.  It’s a promising sound that makes you connect.  I’ve never seen them…
