In my 10+ years of music journalism, I have attended some pretty weird and usual shows, events ranging from soda spraying clowns to bands that have set their instruments on fire. Without trying to sound pretentious, I had honestly thought I had seen everything. That was until this past Thursday evening at Nashville’s Eastside Bowl. […]
It’s been nearly 20 years since I last saw The Kills live. I remember it was way back in April of 2005 when my friend Liz walked into the Sunglass Hut I was working at and exclaimed “you are coming to see an awesome band with me tonight!”. I didn’t know it then, but that […]
Blonde Redhead, for me, is one of those bands that I have known about for a very long time, but have never seemed to figure out a way to make it to one of their shows. Thinking back on how much time I have invested listening to them, it’s almost a fact that I am embarrassed […]
After 20 years of no new music or performances, Dogstar hit the road for their Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees 2023 cross-country tour. The rockers stopped in Nashville for two back-to-back headlining shows and fans were sure to arrive early on Night One. The headlining trio — composed of Bret Domrose on lead […]
Nashville, Tennessee, being known as a mecca for music in the United States, there seems to be a never ending amount of singer/songwriters popping up here on an endless loop. Many become interchangeable and indistinguishable from one another and while many are decent enough singers, I don’t often find most of them to be memorable. […]
Nashville indie folk/pop singer-songwriter Kendall Bowser invites listeners on a soul-stirring journey with her latest EP, Sober Truths released on November 3rd. The five-track collection is an exploration of love, loss, and the intricate web of emotions that linger in the aftermath of a broken relationship. The song “Got Away” sets the tone for the […]
The fans were certainly fed with endless pop songs during the Nashville pitstop of Kim Petras’ Feed the Beast World Tour. From the playful costume changes to the intricately choreographed dancing, Petras offered a well-rounded evening of artistry. The night of dancing began with a DJ set by Alex Chapman. The lively performance took place […]
Hot on the heels of the release of their 4th studio album “Kimosabe”, Australia’s Dope Lemon wrapped up their most recent headlining tour at Nashville’s Eastside Bowl. Prior to Saturday, I had always assumed that Dope Lemon was some type of secret that only a select few of my most knowledgeable music friends knew about. […]
Vera Bloom has an origin story not unlike so many other supremely talented musicians floating around the unforgiving universe known as the music industry. She started immersing herself in music at a young age, first on the piano, hashing out songs and with the encouragement of her father began adding lyrics to her creations. At […]
In the hallowed halls of Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, a captivating evening of music would forever change my musical tastes. Nick Cave, the enigmatic and revered icon of alt rock music, graced the legendary stage alongside Radiohead bassist, Colin Greenwood. After the first song “Girl In Amber”, Nick Cave would take a moment to address the […]
In the ever-evolving landscape of modern music, there are few artists who can truly capture the essence of transformation and self-discovery quite like Anastasia Elliot has. With her new album, La Petite Mort, Anastasia takes the listener on a mesmerizing journey through the depths of her soul, delivering an unforgettable musical odyssey that leaves an […]
When it comes to music about heartbreak and the aftermath of relationships ending, Nashville probably does it better than anyone else. With a long storied history of sad songs it’s almost as if it’s a requirement for musicians from the music city to create the most depressing, gut wrenching songs imaginable. However, far too often, […]
In many ways, this year has felt like a massive trip down memory lane for me. I am not ashamed to admit that I am a child of the ’80s, and while I may have been too young to completely remember the music of that era, I am still a massive fan. Thinking back to […]
As an independent artist, music conferences have become one of my secret weapons. As the independent artist’s job grows increasingly more difficult by the day and the noise gets louder and harder to break through, attending these concentrated days of industry exposure and learning is in my opinion, essential. An independent artist in 2023 has […]
Living in Nashville, Tennessee for the past two years I have been introduced to countless bands and musicians and if I am being brutally honest, most of them sound the same or are trying hard to sound like someone else. If I had a dollar for all the Luke Bryan or Taylor Swift clones in […]
