Nashville Rocks



Somebody once asked what the best thing about the Nashville music scene is. It's a pretty crazy question considering how diverse the music scene is here. Everything from 12 types of country/western/swing/bluegrass, to an amazing symphony, to a thriving rock scene fuels the city. And really, the more the merrier. There's always a show to see. From The Don Kelley Band at Robert's, to Vivaldi at the Schemmerhorn, to a Spoon show at Cannery. There are no shortages of amazing tunes going into the night.

The locals put on a pretty good show themselves. One thing is for certain though, when it comes to fuckin' rock, there is Jeff, and there is everyone else. The show is amazing. Anytime anyone in the room hasn't heard Jeff before makes it through about half a song, they move up close. They are the Pied Pipers of blowing minds. Jamin plays the drums like a Buddy Rich possessed and Jake's guitar riffs hit hard and heavy.

So, when I think of the Nashville music scene, I think of Jeff. Maybe more bands in town will be able to come close to their glory.....


probably not.
