Fun-filled night at Coverbest at The Beast (The Basement East)... Terry Rickards always does a great job putting those events on... I really dug Matt Haeck doing Tom Waits, Darrin Bradbury doing Modest Mouse, Sarah Potenza doing Gillian Welch, and Tesla Rossa doing Beck... plus lots of inspiring conversations about music and East Nashville and creativity....
Tonight, Fats Kaplin returns to his Thursday Night residency at The 5 Spot - the penultimate week of this month-long (sans St. Patrick's Day) event... I missed two weeks ago, and I do not want to miss this one... It is guaranteed to be some of the best music around and highly entertaining, too.
Later tonight, Chris Scruggs and The Stone Fox Five are playing what I think is their second show since the club that gave them their name closed unexpectedly. They will be at The Country with The Farmer and Adele opening. I have heard a lot about The Farmer and Adele, but I have not seen them yet.
I am off work tomorrow. I may try to do a Featured Friday Shuffle from home, but no promises... stay tuned.
Meanwhile, Thursday - means we throw it back like an undersized fish....

As I predicted, last night was fun. Tim Carroll, Tommy Womack, Jon Byrd, Joe Nolan, and Andrew Adkins put on one of the best and most diverse songwriter events I have seen in a long time - at The Country. They are all excellent songwriters coming from different backgrounds and working in and out of different genres or styles of music, and together they represented well the rich tapestry of Music City.
In a rare moment of perfect timing, I had just enough time to say my goodbyes at The Country, and I made my way to The 5 Spot for Sara Syms, Carrie Welling, and Lindsay Ellyn. Sara Syms sounded fantastic as always with her excellent band.
Carrie Welling (who I had seen once before) has some great songs and an amazing voice. She was backed by a guitar player.
It has been a little while since I had seen Lindsay Ellyn doing a full band show, and it was every bit as good as I remember it. Her song, "Glory, Glory" became a joyous sing-a-long.
Beyond all the hype, the truth remains that there is a ton of great music going on just about every night in Nashville.
Tonight , I recommend Darrin Bradbury at Little Harpeth Taproom, Fats Kaplin with guest Paul Burch at The 5 Spot, Beet Root Revival at The Basement, and The Cordovas at The Family Wash. While, it is logistically impossible to hit all of these shows, I highly recommend any of them.
Well, it is Thursday - let's throw it back...
