12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Concert Review: Jeffrey Steele – Franklin 4 the Cure Benefit – September 15, 2012
On Saturday, September 15, 2012, Jeffrey Steele performed at the Franklin for the Cure benefit, a very worthy cause raising funds for Vanderbilt University’s Monroe Carrell Chidren’s Hospital. To further help the charity, the evening’s host, GAC’s Storme Warren, helped auction off a signed acoustic guitar halfway through the show – an auction which brought Read More

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Concert Review: Scissormen and Renée Wahl – Kimbros Café – Franklin, TN – July 13, 2012
In and around Nashville, you never have to search long to find a great night of local music. On Friday July 13, 2012, blues duo Scissormen entertained the friendly Franklin, TN crowd at Kimbros Café; an adorable venue (which also serves great food!) on Margin Street. The evening was opened by Americana singer-songwriter Reneé Wahl Read More

Concert Review: James Taylor – Nashville, TN – July 12, 2012

I have a hypothesis. It goes that there could be a simple solution to many of the world’s problems. If we could gather all world leaders together at a James Taylor concert surely world peace would be mere moments away. Such seems to be the power of his voice, his songs, and his performance.

Live from CMA Fest 2012: LoCash Cowboys

12 years ago Liv Carter 6
By Sunday afternoon of CMA Fest, everyone is pretty tired. So who better to pump some energy back into the crowd than LoCash Cowboys? Their performance energized the fans packed in front of the Riverfront stage from the second they flew onto the stage with newer song ‘Bumpin’ Tailgates.’ Read More

It seems that every music festival has one total breakout act. At CMA Fest this year, it was Nashville’s newest country-rock trio who created the biggest buzz. After having delivered a truly spectacular club performance on Friday night, on Sunday afternoon, June 10, The Cadillac Black stepped onto the Hard Rock Café stage…and blew the Read More

Live from CMA Fest 2012: Laura Bell Bundy

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Live from CMA Fest 2012: Laura Bell Bundy
Laura Bell Bundy is one of those performers whose show I will always try to catch at events like CMA Fest. It may not be the country music I usually listen to (though I do think her 2010 release, Achin’ and Shakin’, was underrated by critics), but she is just so wonderfully entertaining to watch Read More

Live from CMA Fest 2012: Casey James

12 years ago Liv Carter 6
One of the best things about CMA Fest is being able to finally catch performances from artists long on my to-see list. Casey James has been near the top of that list for some time now, and his performance on the Riverfront stage on Saturday, June 9, was a great introduction to his live show. Read More

Live from CMA Fest 2012: Kip Moore

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Live from CMA Fest 2012: Kip Moore
The new-to-me performance I was most looking forward to during CMA Fest 2012 was finally watching Kip Moore play live. I have long wanted to make plans to do so, especially after hearing his immensely strong debut album, Up All Night. Despite the morning time slot, after having recently enjoyed a two-week stay at #1 Read More
