Another fun $2 Tuesday hosted by Derek Hoke at The 5 Spot in East Nashville. There are always a variety of wonderful musical choices in Nashville any given night, but if you ever find yourself in Nashville on a Tuesday, I can heartily recommend $2 Tuesday. $2 cover, $2 draft beer from local brewery Yazoo. Always a great line-up of music (including host Derek Hoke - who is always fantastic), DJ Tim Hibbs spinning tunes between sets. Last night, I caught the $2 Tuesday debut of local songwriter Bobby Corbin and his band The Corduroy Boys (at least for last night). I met Corbin several months back - I think at a $2 Tuesday maybe????, and I have seen him play solo before. I was really impressed.
Asheville band Dyado were next, and I dug their sound.
Derek Hoke was next with his regular band of Steve Latanation and Mark Robertson.
In the late spot, it was The Caprice Classics - who I think qualify as an East Nashville supergroup. Led by Joe V. McMahan, whose name we have been mentioning quite a bit lately - most recently in association with Josh Hyde's new album, with Paul Niehaus, Jon Radford, and Adam Bednarik (The last two were part of the band Luella and the Sun with McMahan and singer Luella). The band tore through a fiery set of obscure blues tunes and originals.
Now - on to the Wild Wednesday Shuffle!
