CD Review: Red Wanting Blue — From the Vanishing Point; Playing Smith’s Olde Bar, February 27

Red Wanting Blue From the Vanishing Point Fanatic Records By Al Kaufman Red Wanting Blue plays slick, mainstream pop-rock songs. That could be the whole review right there, but it would leave the layout for this review wanting. It’s like Train or Hootie and the Blowfish, or, to a lesser extent, Counting Crows. It’s that […]

Q&A with Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne; Playing The Loft, February 10

By Al Kaufman Fountains of Wayne is not your typical success story. The New York-based band came up with the name after driving by a yard art store in Wayne, N.J., then quickly signed with Atlantic Records in 1996. They were subsequently dropped after their first two albums did not sell up to Atlantic’s expectations. […]

What’s Up Thursday?

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn Thursdays are very interesting to me. They can either be awesome, knowing that the weekend is right around the corner, or they can be horrible, seeing everyone’s tenseness from the week coming to a head. Let’s hope yours is the first, and regardless, you will need to destress tonight and I […]

5 GB With JEFF The Brotherhood; Playing The Masquerade Tonight, Feb. 1

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn I know it is a risky thing to  proclaim a “my new favorite” band, but in this case, trust me. JEFF the Brotherhood are two brothers from Nashville, who are helping to shake up the rock scene.  Jake and Jamin Orrall are the sons of successful producer/singer/songwriter Robert Ellis Orrall and grew up surrounded by […]
