Live from CMA Fest 2012: Eric Paslay

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Live from CMA Fest 2012: Eric Paslay
When Eric Paslay included the song ‘Deep as it Is Wide’ in his set yesterday, June 8, on the Bud Light stage outside the Bridgestone Arena during CMA Fest 2012, I remarked to the lady next to me that however many artists were performing that day, no one was going to play a song that Read More

The Big 98 WSIX Features LoCash Cowboys in Thursday Concert Series

12 years ago Liv Carter 1
A while back, I wrote that if you need to get a party started, there is no one better to call than LoCash Cowboys. Nothing about Thursday’s performance (April 26, Opry Mills, Nashville, TN) suggests that I was wrong about that. If you don’t have fun at one of their shows, I would be concerned Read More

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Tin Pan South 2012: Lawrence Music Group with Tracy Lawrence, Lacey Brown, Rick Huckaby, Jonny Houlihan & Flip Anderson
The annual NSAI Tin Pan South songwriters festival is one of my very favorite weeks of the year, and shows such as this is why. Lawrence Music Group unleashed its writers at The Station Inn on Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Tracy Lawrence kicked things off with his current single, ‘Pills,’ before proceeding to wholeheartedly thank Read More

Broadcast live from the Loveless Cafe barn, Music City Roots is a two-hour radio show celebrating the cornucopia of music alive and well in Nashville today. Spanning country, americana, bluegrass, folk, western swing, rockabilly and more, the evenings are packed with high quality performances.

Concert Review: The Beagles – 3rd & Lindsley, Nashville, TN – January 24, 2012

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Concert Review: The Beagles – 3rd & Lindsley, Nashville, TN – January 24, 2012
Twice before now, I have tried to come up with a way of describing The Beagles‘ live show but a concert review in the conventional sense just does not seem to suffice for these guys. On January 24, 2012 at 3rd & Lindsley Bar and Grille, the trio’s set impressed, surprised, charmed and amused the Read More

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Concert Review: Chris Nathan, Rick Huckaby, Clay Evans – Blue Bar, Nashville – January 13, 2012
By all indications, 2012 is going to bring some really great new music to us all. On Friday night, January 13, 2012, at Blue Bar in Nashville, three extremely talented singer-songwriters, all at various stages of completing new projects, lined up to entertain a very friendly and very captive audience. Chris Nathan, who hosted the Read More

Concert Review: Marion Grace – Bourbon Street Blues Bar, Nashville, TN – Jan 10, 2012

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Concert Review: Marion Grace – Bourbon Street Blues Bar, Nashville, TN – Jan 10, 2012
If you have heard it said that in Nashville you can hear incredible talents “any night of the week”, take this to be true. Having the luxury problem of an overabundance of fantastic voices and incredible players, choosing a destination for a night out is often a long process of elimination. On Tuesday nights, I Read More

Concert Review: Brian Nutter – Bourbon Street Blues Bar, Nashville, TN

12 years ago Liv Carter 3
Nashville has a rich tradition of harboring extremely talented sidemen. Keith Urban lead-guitarist Brian Nutter has been working on his own project for a while now and is using a break in touring to venture out with his own band – bassist Sean Harrison, drummer Phil Wilson, and Lee Turner on organ. The quartet played Read More

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Concert Review: Rick Huckaby at Dan McGuinness Pub – Nashville, TN – November 16, 2011
Music fans everywhere will know this – when you really love to watch a band play, there’s something incredibly fun about introducing new people to the music and watching them become fans too. Last night, November 16, at Dan McGuinness Pub in Nashville, Rick Huckaby and his band got to impress one of my friends Read More
