Bridge over troubled water

Last night I was introduced to Jeremy, drummer for The Bridges, and well, I guess that's the complete story of how I discovered The Bridges. :) I love that they are a crew of cousins from the South. (Also makes me wonder if I should have spent my time with my cousins harmonizing and learning the guitar rather than just playing Battleship, but alas, there's no going back now, and I am really good at Battleship!) Check out The Bridges next Tuesday night, Nov. 3, at Mercy Lounge!

Brett Dennen

Every year at Bonnaroo, I "discover" several new artists I've never heard of but are awesome. Brett Dennen was one of those artists this year. I saw his regular set and then his acoustic set later on even. His tunes are just positive, singer/songwriter, happiness. And he has a really interesting voice you don't hear everyday.

Brett is playing Cannery Ballroom on Nov. 13th (just a few days after the MuteMath show that everyone needs to go to). Bonnaroo alum Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are opening for him. She is great too, a girl led jamband :)

For fans of Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Jon Foreman, and Animal Liberation Orchestra (ALO).

As Tall As Lions & MUTEMATH

I dont think MuteMath needs an introduction with their part time home being Nashville. They're live show speaks for itself also, if youve seen it or caught one of their wild performances on Letterman or Kimmel.

I couldn't think of a more perfect band to open for them than As Tall As Lions, the real reason Im posting this. The talent, vocal range, unbelievable rhythm section, and passion that you can feel when you see them make them a perfect pair.

This show is for fans of Radiohead, DJ Shadow, Ours, exciting live entertainment.

November 8th at The War Memorial Nashville, Tennessee

I had to add this after seeing it!

Charlie and Marc

So my friend ran into Charlie Mars today on the streets of New York, which led to her asking me who Marc Broussard is, which led to me discovering they are both playing at The Rutledge on Oct. 22. Gotta love when happenstance turns into opportunities for good music!

Pico de gallo and Next Big Nashville!

"Take it Witchu" has been stuck in my head ever since hearing Pico vs Island Trees play at The Rutledge last night as part of Next Big Nashville. Awesome festival, by the way. Jason, the guy in charge, is from a city 30 minutes from where I grew up and shares my alma mater, so gotta give a shout out! I can't find a video of "Take it Wichu," but this song is pretty catchy, too.
