Show Review – Chris Nathan – Blue Bar, Nashville, TN – May 28, 2011
13 years ago Liv Carter 4
Sometimes you just have to break with convention. While Nashville is known for country music, it is home to many musical genres. Over the past few months, everyone who spent more than half an hour in my presence has heard about Chris Nathan. I have been trying to find an excuse to write about him Read More

Last night, Rick Huckaby returned to his home-away-from-home, 3rd and Lindsley, and played the home crowd advantage for all its worth. Read More

13 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Show Review – Jeremy McComb – April 21, 2011 – Venue: my sofa
A little while ago, I was introduced to the new online live music platform StageIt and last week I ‘attended’ my first StageIt show. The first of many, I am sure. Armed with an acoustic guitar and a webcam, Jeremy McComb played a half hour slot in his house which was streamed directly into ours. Read More

Last Friday, Nashville country band Acklen Park held their CD release party at 3rd and Lindsley. The 6-piece, led by Marcum Stewart, played a strong set to introduce the new disc. Nashville-based singer-songwriter Rick Huckaby opened the evening and he is, in a word, fantastic. He strung together a series of acoustic songs flavored with Read More

13 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Concert Review: Vince Gill & Amy Grant – 12 Days of Christmas – Atlanta, GA
A few days before Christmas, Vince Gill and Amy Grant stopped by at the Fox Theater in Atlanta with their 12 Days of Christmas show. It was a celebration of Christmas music in all its forms, old and new, secular and religious. Kicking off with a (very) uptempo ‘Jingle Bells,’ Vince and Amy kept the Read More

Carrie Underwood brought the “Play On” Tour to a sold out crowd at the Fedex Forum on a beautiful autumn Friday in Memphis. It was an absolute delight to see Carrie perform as the headliner of her own tour. I had seen her as a warm up act a couple of times earlier in her Read More
Concert Review – Sons of Sylvia – Fedex Forum in Memphis, TN
14 years ago Liv Carter 1
As the concert started, I knew Sons of Sylvia were a trio of brothers, but I had never heard any of their music or anything about them. Their name was familiar and that was it, so I had no expectations when the concert began. They came onto the stage – looking great! They slightly reminded Read More
