All Poets and Heroes: Using Authenticity to Win the ‘Battle’

Posted on by Leave a comment

Alt-rockers All Poets & Heroes outlasted stiff competition to be crowned Nashville’s Battle of the Bands winners. The competition — hosted by our good friend ARREIS and Chicago-based music platform Local Nation — helped some of Nashville’s top emerging artists showcase their talent, while building a stronger community among the independent music industry.

Today, we chat with All Poets & Heroes about the win, their journey as a band, and what we can expect going forward.

This episode of The Quinn Spinn was recorded and produced at Helping Our Music Evolve, Nashville, TN.

Opening theme: REVEL 9 – All I’ve Become
