I live in Nashville and it's unbelievable how many great musicians, writers, singers and whatnot are here. People who came to Nashville to try and make it and figured it wasn't going to happen and are now doing all the other mundane every day jobs that the rest of us do.
I am going to mention two acts that you must see when you are in town or anywhere they happen to be. They really are the only two acts that can get me out of the house.
1. The Steeldrivers
They are listed as a bluegrass band and I guess technically that is what they are, but they have a cool fusion thing going on with the blues. Absolutely a must see.
2. Nashville Fab
Okay, it helps if you are a Beatles fan (and really, who isn't?) These guys are Nashville songwriters, producers, singers, and session players mostly in the country genre of course. But they are hands down one of the best Beatles cover bands you will ever hear. They love what they are doing and it shows. The female bass player is one of the best session musicians anywhere. All the musicianship is top notch.
Some day I am going to post on how much I think American Idol is destroying everything we have loved about American music.
