Although some may think nashville should be called country music, usa, it is rightfully called music city, usa. Like LA, NY, Chicago, Austin, and all it's competetors , there is always live music all over the damn city. With the exception of electronic and good reggae, - you can catch most every genre every night. After I left the office, I head over to Music Publisher's writer's Night. A Writer's Night always means songwriters in the round, taking turns playing their songs they hope to get "cut" which is in deed in the Country world. A "Cut" from a major artist. We saw 4 writers, each play 2 songs, one which has been "cut" by George Strait, who in this world is VERY highly esteemed. See Nashville Music Guide here
After talking to a few people, I went over to the Sommet Group to see Linkin Park. I'm not generally a Linkin Park fan at the least bit - don't have a single album, don't plan to, not interested at all by them, saw Chester at the House of Blues once and he was struggling to sing. BUT I recognize the genre they created and I get why people like them. That being said though, since I'm obsessed with music and wouldn't want to do anything else for an hour, I saw then in concert. Show was pretty good actually, and I enjoyed seeing them live. Stage was very basic and I appreciate that. Chester hada LOT of energy. After one hour, I drove to East Nashville to see The Jane Shermans, our friends Brenn, and also Mona who was recently showcased by Rick Rubin in LA.
I love Brenn. Their show was full or pop driven beats, apathetic beautiful vocals, blistering guitar leads, and thick rhythm section. Their sound reminded me of Muse-like riffs which full of fuzzy guitar goodness, a loud, noisey and great sing along chorus, high tone guitar melodies and unexpecting guitar solos.
All this and I was in bed by 1:15 AM.
