God bless bandcamp.

These guys are from the Murfreesboro/Nashville area- I honestly haven’t gotten to hear their stuff yet, but I do know I’ve got a few friends in the band who are talented, so that leads me to believe there might just be some good stuff going on here- def. check it out.

jclutch:

If you’re in Nashville, stuck at your job and NOT attending one of the festivals this week (CMAfest/Bonnaroo) then you are probably celebrating with me in the little things like CMApocalypse Bingo is back!! (via @nashvillest)

If it was me and I was in the vicinty (without trek up I24-I’m terrified of it this weekend), I’d def. spend Saturday afternoon entertaining myself with this game.

Andrew Bird heads up...

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:41:20 -0400

Mr. Bird will be stopping through Grimey’s this Saturday on his way to Bonnaroo for an instore…check it out what exactly the folks from the store have to say, along with a SWEET announcement:

Speaking of in-stores, you know about our event this Saturday with Andrew Bird, right? Well let me sweeten the deal considerably for ya. Andrew Bird has been booked for a show at The Ryman on October 10th. This has not even been announced yet so you’re reading that here first (word goes out to everyone else on June 23rd). AND tickets are not going on sale until June 26th. BUT we will have an EXCLUSIVE PRESALE of 100 tickets, some of the best seats in the house, here at the in-store this Saturday! That’s right, come see a free, exclusive Andrew Bird performance and grab your exclusive tickets to the October Ryman show before ANYONE ELSE gets a shot at them. Tickets will be cash only, like all our ticket sales, and they will be $27 flat. We’ll see you at 1PM Saturday!

Yet another festivial?!?!

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:16:29 -0400

I just got an email about my favorite week in Nashville: Next Big Nashville.

The email includes links to submit your band (or pass it along to your friends) and you can see all the info here. Take note that any artist can apply to play, not just Nashville bands. And the biggest note to remember: July 13th is the deadline for applying!

The fest is going to be this October 7-11 and is one of the best ways to check out new and established artists, plus the fact you can buy one wristband and get into any venue (granted you’re able to get in, age and space why).

A Weekend of Festivals

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 03:01:00 -0400

Summer’s always a good time to get out and find some adventure, even if it’s in your own backyard. This weekend is a good time for some of these adventures, seeing as there’s two festivals going on in town (and right up the road).

CMA Fest starts this Thursday in downtown Nash, along with Bonnaroo starting in Manchester on the same day.

The line ups look good for both [pending on what you’re into]- anyone checking out either of these festivities?

And welcome...

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:46:00 -0400

Due to the fact I can’t sleep this evening, I have taken the idea suggested [I think half in sarcasm] by Ewok and starting a Nashville tumblr.

Meant to connect folks, promote shows and other events and to just see what’s going on in Nashville & the surrounding areas.

For now, it’d be awesome if you would reblog this tumblr and pass along word to folks you know around these parts and we’ll see how many Nashville folks are really on tumblr.
