What’s Up Wednesday?

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Oh my goodness what an incredibly fun night! As amazing as Nashville is during the CMA’s, I have to admit that I am pretty jealous that y’all get to see my current favorite band tonight! So without further ado, here is my list of fun-ness for you tonight. -If I was […]

Live Review: Foo Fighters at The Arena at Gwinnett Center, November 7

By Justin Lyons Foo Fighters have a good problem on their hands: They can play soaring rock anthems for three hours straight.  It’s actually more of an issue for their fans that barely have time to catch their breath.  From start to finish, there was hardly a moment that Dave Grohl and company weren’t shaking […]

5GB With Kopecky Family Band; Playing Vinyl, Nov. 9

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Like all families, Kopecky Family Band beats with the same heart and writes in the same blood. ‘The Family’ began creating music together in Nashville, Tennessee in the Fall of 2007. What began as late night talks about life and dreams gradually flowed into eccentric and beautiful music that has led […]

What’s Up Tuesday?

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn It’s CMA week here in Nashville, which simply means this city is jam packed with the biggest country stars in the nation. Unfortunately, all the parties in this town are by invite only, so sadly I will be fantasizing of the cool things I could be doing tonight. However, for all […]

What’s Up Monday?

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Ok, let’s face it….although there are a lot of good shows going on tonight, there is really only one you should be concerned with…. -The mighty Foo Fighters are back in town and will be putting on the best show of the night at the Gwinnett Arena. Joining them are one […]

CD Review: Ken Will Morton — Contenders; Playing Eddie’s Attic on November 13

Ken Will Morton Contenders Ghostmeat Records By Ellen Eldridge Listeners will hear Bob Dylan’s influence in the first note of the first song, “Broken Windows,” even before seeing the credit for Bob Dylan’s title and verse in “Swan on the River” later on the album Contenders. Connecting the obvious smoky style inspiration, patterned after greats […]

5GB With Matthew & The Atlas; Playing The Communion Tour At Smith’s Olde Bar, Nov 5

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn The Communion Tour (started by Mumford & Sons’ Ben Lovett) will be taking over Smith’s Olde Bar on Nov. 5th, with performances from Matthew & the Atlas, The David Mayfield Parade, and Lauren Shera. The music industry is abuzz with the first ever U.S. tour of Communion, the U.K.’s most revered […]

Live Review: Fitz & the Tantrums, Walk the Moon at Center Stage, October 29

Live Review: Fitz & the Tantrums, Walk the Moon at Center Stage, October 29

By Justin Lyons Walk the Moon and Fitz & the Tantrums are two bands that you wouldn’t necessarily picture touring together.  However, the two rising acts do have one thing in common: making people move. Cincinnati-based opener Walk the Moon’s youthful energy was not lost on the diverse crowd of 20-somethings and middle-aged folk.  From […]

CD Review: Megadeth — Th1rt3en

Megadeth Th1rt3en Roadrunner By Ellen Eldridge Things are falling perfectly into place for Megadeth. The release of the 13th studio album, aptly titled Th1rt3en, falls on the eerie date of 11-01-11, the day after Halloween. One of my “go to” bands, Megadeth never fails to disappoint me, but all fans of thrash metal should appreciate […]

5GB With The Black Angels; Playing The Masquerade Tonight, Nov. 4

By Eileen Tilson / @tktalt_tn “The Black Angels are the best band to come out of Austin in a very long time,” says my Nashville music snob friend. Ironically, as much as I hate to join in the hipster singalong, I must agree. By shunning the land of the skinny jeans, The Black Angels have […]
