Mrs. titties and I went to Folk last night for dinner and drinks. If you haven't been yet, it's worth a trip. Place was great. Tied off with a night cap at wilburn street tavern right behind it. All around good night.
let's better the neighborhood without building a bunch of stupid lofts/condos and pushing people out. CRAZY
I'm free until ten this morning if you want to bring your wife by my office. Gives you an hour or so of free time.
The Texas Gentlemen are playing the Basement on Nov. 8th. Tickets $12/$15 . Spoiler Sometimes, authenticity can sneak up on you. The first sounds you hear on The Texas Gentlemen’s debut studio album, Jelly, is that of a band slowly coming together. It’s deceptive, because it creates the impression these Gentlemen might be hesitant about their first record, but any hint of uncertainty vanishes as the core quintet — Beau Bedford, Lee, Daniel Cremr, Matt McDonald and Ryan Ake — tears into the opening track, Habbie Doobie, a low-slung piece of vintage country-funk that slams out of the speakers and announces the Texas Gentlemen as a force to be reckoned with. This Lone Star-bred collective takes its cues from some of the iconic acts of the past — the quicksilver brilliance of The Wrecking Crew and Bob Dylan’s one-time backers The Band are the most obvious examples. Bedford, who shares chief engineering and producing responsibilities at Dallas’ Modern Electric Sound Recorders, assembled The Texas Gentlemen as an all-purpose backing band for an eclectic array of singer-songwriters, including Leon Bridges, Nikki Lane, Jonathan Tyler and Paul Cauthen. In 2016, the Gentlemen were lured out of the studio to the Newport Folk Festival, where they were joined by iconic troubadour Kris Kristofferson, making his first Newport appearance in more than 45 years. Rolling Stone called it one of the festival’s “most exciting sets.” Kristofferson so enjoyed collaborating with the Texas Gentlemen that he enlisted them to reprise their roles in a series of critically acclaimed Texas concerts. Of Kristofferson and the Texas Gentlemen’s appearance at Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, music critic Preston Jones wrote “The [instruments] would slowly coalesce around Kristofferson’s gnarled but still potent voice, creating an electric sensation of the past fusing with the present.” That deft fusion of before and right now is possible thanks to the musicians’ unswerving dedication to simply playing to the best of their abilities, trusting their instincts, and letting the music guide them. Case in point: TX Jelly was created in less than a week — four days, start to finish — at Muscle Shoals’ singular FAME Studios. Pared down from the 28 songs the Gentlemen recorded in that 96-hour span, TX Jelly effortlessly connects way back to what’s next, summoning the spirits of American songcraft even as it heralds the arrival of 21st century talent. Cut live, with little use for the blinding polish and careful presentation of so much modern music, TX Jelly oozes with skill backed up by that hard-won authenticity. TX Jelly moves between contemplative and raucous, encompassing the full breadth of the American experience. The music touches on blues, soul, folk, country, rock and gospel — from first track to last, you can feel The Texas Gentlemen reaching deep inside themselves and finding what’s genuine — what illuminates the truth of the country’s rich, complicated and singular artistic history — and delivering it the only way they know how: real, raw and righteous.
Coming into your fine city next weekend for the UF game. Staying with my brother in the gulch. Kayne Friday night. Midfield 22nd row tickets Saturday through a vandy buddy, and preds game Saturday in my bro’s corporate box. Should be a solid less than 48 hour trip.
Mainboarders are coming to town Mainboarders are coming to town Main Boarders are coming to town They're hitting on chicks And striking out twice The Bachelorette party is tired of being nice Mainboarders are coming to town
I love getting the seats you want when shows go on sale. SEC 210. Perfect view. Less crowded concessions and bathrooms in 200 level .
Cornelius Suttree FUCK this woman was awesome. Second time I went, I ordered Pad See Ew. She told me to get something more interesting next time. I did. I went 30+ times while in law school. She opened PM and I think her sons/brothers opened Smiling Elephant and Suzy Wongs. She'll be missed.
Here my list for Friday- any to avoid? Fox Bar Pearl Diver 308 Urban Cowboy Nobles Beer Hall I'm from Brentwood but have moved away. I've done most of midtown and Broadway but the newest parts of East Nashville is the new territory for me.
I like Urban Cowboy, but it is small, drinks are pricey, and you're likely to wreak of smoked chicken when you leave. Cool place to hangout with friends, though. Dino's and Dukes are fun too. Tons of places over there. And yea, them Preds man.
Have 2 lawn tickets for Phish on 10/24 that I need to sell if anyone is interested please PM. Selling for face.
My dad has two Isbell tickets for the Saturday show if anyone is interested. Edit: nevermind. He sold them.
Felt so fucking good to vote today. I went out to the Clarksville Pike location at 10:30 and there was 15-20 minute wait. Looks like turnout is gonna be almost at a presidential level.
Bredeson needs to win...thats the one that actually matters (they both matter but Blackburn is AWFUL and its a Senate seat)
Only if there’s not a wait. If there is, go to Hopsmith, Von Elrods, or Tower Market to name a few (not sure where your office is)
Bill Lee has a double digit lead in the latest Vanderbilt poll. Shit is going to suck when him and that piece of shit Blackburn get elected.
tbh Mike Fisher is like the perfect Bill Lee guy.....super religious, super rich, hunter/gun fan, married to a country music singer/personality.
Never underestimate the rural snake charmer churches and general retarded population in this state. I no longer feel that being 18 should be the base requirement to vote. Republicans have been capitalizing on rural retards in this state for decades now.
