NashLive! Presents: Borrowed Sparks and Uplander at The Cobra Nashville
2022-05-21 19:30 - 23:00 (America/New_York) | Cobra Nashville, 2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
NashLive! will be back at The Cobra Nashville on Saturday, May 21 with Borrowed Sparks and Uplander.
What happens when you combine the raw heartfelt honesty of a singer-songwriter with the simmer angst of punk rock? You get Borrowed Sparks (Mike Bay), who has spent years drawing from these two contrasting styles to distill a batch of songs that feel like quiet confessions being shouted from the back of a dive bar.
Uplander, formed by songwriter Riley Haynie, pulls from shoegaze, post-punk, goth, and new wave. The result?Atmospherically heavy songs that maintain an edge of pop sensibility and appeal.
The best part? This is another free one in The Cobra’s front room! Music kicks off at 7:30 p.m., and you must be 21 or older to enter!

NashLive! Presents: Leah Jean and Sam Gyllenhaal Band at The Cobra Nashville
2022-05-07 20:00 - 22:30 (America/New_York) | Cobra Nashville, 2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
On a regular day, you can find Leah Jean penning a heartfelt lyric, humming an infectious melody, or letting her fingers find the guitar riff that will inspire a sumptuous song. Adorned with honest lyrics that hit close to home, Leah Jean’s music resonates and stays with you far beyond the final note. Haunting vocals and harmonies soar over moody backdrops colored with undertones of bluesy jazz, folk, and soul. Originally from Dayton, Ohio, Leah Jean brings a humble persona and fresh perspective to the Nashville music scene.
Sam Gyllenhaal Band’s pop, rock, and country influences inspire their songs’ cascading melodies, driving grooves and vivid lyrics. The band likes to sing about life and love in motion — sometimes soaring, sometimes stumbling, but always moving forward. They’re releasing a new single every month in 2022 on all streaming platforms. Also, a fun fact: Sam joined us last time at Cobra on April 14 as part of Nicole Boggs & The Reel!
This show, just like that last one, is free to attend. You just need to be 21 or older to enter. We’ll see you there, and at some of NashLive!’s other upcoming shows.

Paradox Jukebox Welcomes Crystal Bowersox to Discuss Motherhood, Mental Health, and 'Hitchhiker'
2022-05-04 | Online
On Wednesday, May 4, our friends at Paradox Jukebox are welcoming a very special guest for an in-depth conversation on motherhood and mental health awareness.
Join host Caitie Thompson as she is joined by Crystal Bowersox. The singer-songwriter, who gained acclaim as the runner-up on Season 9 of American Idol, just released her latest full-length album, Hitchhiker, which is available on all major streaming platforms.
This episode will feature “The Storm,” a single from Hitchhiker that delivers a powerful message to survivors of domestic abuse and rape. This is all part of an in-depth and honest discussion about multiple heavy-hitting topics, and the songs that represent them. These include:

“The Loneliness,” which teaches us that it’s okay not to be okay.
“Love Who Ya Love,” a message Bowersox wrote for her son about being happy and authentic to who he is.
“Hitchhiker,” a true story about a man named Daniel, for whom Bowersox provided a ride.

Make sure to follow Paradox Jukebox for this episode and many more insightful conversations.

NashLive! Presents: Pepperwood and Nicole Boggs & The Reel at The Cobra Nashville
2022-04-14 20:00 - 2022-04-15 23:00 (America/New_York) | Cobra Nashville, 2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
NashLive! will make its long-awaited return to Cobra Nashville on Thursday, April 14 by bringing a dose of rock to East Nashville. Joining this quest will be Pepperwood and Nicole Boggs & The Reel.
Pepperwood, the brainchild of Nashville native songwriter Zach Wyatt, has been described as many things — and most of them good. They have a hard time fitting into a specific sound, as every band member listens to a wide range of genres with influences peppered throughout, but they’ve been compared to Relient K, Kings of Leon, Colony House, Temper Trap, and others.
Rooted in three-part harmony and existential blues, Nicole Boggs & The Reel inject rock & roll riffs and vindicated vocals into social commentary, holding a mirror to the absurdity of modern life. Nicole Boggs (bass, lead vox), Alex Kramer (guitars, vox), and Sam Gyllenhaal (guitars, vox) grew up in musical families and walked individual paths before coming together for their first official band release, Scenes From Last Year, in 2019. Dripping with razor-edged sarcasm, their hard-hitting follow-up EP None of Your Business dropped in the summer of 2020, in the depths of the first wave of COVID-19. Since then, the group has been honing their collective sound behind the scenes, quietly and diligently working on their upcoming release, Dystopian Book Club. Their latest single, “Existential Blues,” is streaming everywhere now.
This show is FREE to enter, in The Cobra’s front room. You must be 21+.

Alex Radus: 'Tributaries (Recorded Live at Godfrey Daniels)' Album Release
2022-04-07 19:30 - 22:00 (America/Halifax) | Zoellner Arts Center, 420 E. Packer Ave., Bethlehem, PA, 18015, United States
Alex Radus will release his long-awaited third album, Tributaries (Recorded Live at Godfrey Daniels), on April 7, 2022. The album is uniquely centric to Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley region; it was recorded live at the legendary Southside Bethlehem listening room, Godfrey Daniels, and will be commemorated with a debut performance at Zoellner Arts Center, on the campus of Lehigh University.

Radus is known as a “sultry crooner” (City Paper) and “master guitarist” (Courier News), but his songwriting takes center stage, pairing whimsical and poignant storytelling with a genre-bending mix of Americana, swing, blues, folk, and more. Radus has toured the country extensively and earned critical acclaim for his songwriting, recording, and performing. His music has been featured on radio, television, and film, including Adolescence, directed by Ashley Avis (Black Beauty).
Tributaries is a collection of Radus originals, in celebration of a common theme: tributes to the people, places and muses that inspire and shape us. How fitting, then, for Radus to record Tributaries at Godfrey Daniels, an institution that is part of his family heritage. Radus’ uncle, Doug (Ol’ Moose) Anderson, performed at Godfrey’s with John Gorka, Richard Shindell, and Russ Rentler in the club’s formative years.
“The musicians in my family were a huge influence growing up, and Godfrey’s was part of the family folklore,” says Radus. “This album celebrates the many tributaries that come together to shape our lives. Recording a collection of songs of tribute at such a storied venue was the perfect fit.”
Tributaries includes a live version of Radus’ fan favorite, “We Can’t Play Like Django” – an homage to the guitar great, Django Reinhardt. “Django” features jaw-dropping performances by Pyrenesia, a Delaware Valley-based gypsy-swing quartet. Tributaries also includes songs in honor of Pennsylvania steel towns (“Monongahela”) and Radus’ daughters (“My Heart Will Stay” and “Prayer for Nicolette”).
“I’m thrilled to release this album with a debut performance at Zoellner Arts Center”, says Radus. “From inspiration, to recording, to release, Tributaries is firmly rooted in the Lehigh Valley.”

We — as in, NashLive! — are teaming up with #PopRocks founder Jon Pattie to bring you a night of community, musicianship, and storytelling. It takes place on Saturday, February 26, and will be the first NashLive! event ever to take place at Springwater Supper Club (115 27th Ave. N., Nashville).
As for the lineup? Jon will be opening the night once again. We’re also thrilled to be re-joined by two NashLive! alums in Natasha Blaine and TROY.
When we last checked in with Natasha Blaine, we were at The East Room back in July. Since then, she has released her latest single, “Paris Again,” and has continued to light up Nashville with her soulful live performances.
And! Speaking of soul, TROY brought his captivating pop rock storytelling and showmanship to The East Room back in October, as part of the first-ever 615Fest. Since then, he’s released a couple of acoustic singles, with more fun sure to come throughout 2022.

Sam Varga, Alyssa Lazar, and Borderline Natives at The East Room
2022-02-25 19:00 - 23:00 (America/New_York) | The East Room, 2412 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
With just three short years in Nashville, Sam Varga has already established himself as serious writer and dynamic performer. Coming up in the fast-paced punk scenes of his high school days and the blues of Austin, Texas, there is an edge and energy that makes his songs stand out in Music City. After quickly coming up through the writing ranks in Nashville, Sam turned his attention to his solo career, amassing more than a million streams on Spotify with 40,000 monthly listeners, and multiple viral videos with more than 100,000 TikTok followers. Coming off of multiple viral releases, his latest single “Fall Down” is a hint in a new direction, and a nod to his pop/punk and emo roots.
Fueled by the sound and passion of classic rock and roll music, Alyssa Lazar brings a 1970’s nostalgia to today’s pop/rock music. Lazar grew up in Scranton, PA, constantly surrounded by music, and began singing at the age of three. Her transition from singer to musical artist began when she learned to play the piano at the age of eight. Following this, she began to write songs, compose, and accompany herself for weekly performances at every venue throughout her hometown by the age of fifteen. After high school, Alyssa moved to Nashville, TN to continue pursuing her music career. Her love for piano, mixed with her love for classic rock, brought Alyssa’s music to a sound reminiscent of artists such as Elton John, Lady Gaga, Billy Joel, and Queen. Lazar unapologetically brings out her fiery spirit and dauntless attitude within her theatrical, rock and roll inspired sound.
Borderline Natives have a streamlined alternative/pop punk sound that is being compared to Taking Back Sunday, Neck Deep, blink-182, and State Champs. The band’s lyrical content relates to those who have ever felt lost, those who have never belonged, and anyone who has experienced heartbreak or a loss of unity.
$10 | 18+ to enter | Must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a recent negative test to enter.

NashLive! Pop-Up: Borrowed Sparks and Riley Haynie
2022-02-12 20:00 - 23:00 (America/New_York) | Cobra Nashville, 2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
We’ve always got new tricks up our sleeves at NashLive!. Next Saturday, February 12, we’re giving you a night of rock and roll on us.
We’re excited to team with The Cobra Nashville (2511 Gallatin Ave.) on our first ever free NashLive! Pop-Up. We’ll be in the venue’s front bar, where we’ll bring you the musical stylings of Borrowed Sparks and Riley Haynie on the house.
We once described the music of Borrowed Sparks as “a prime cut of American rock and roll… calling to mind the maverick spirit of the legendary Tom Petty, layered with a simmering angst sure to appeal to fans of artists ranging from Social Distortion to The Gaslight Anthem.” We certainly still feel that way, and are excited to team up with Mike Bay and co. as they show you what they’ve been working on — including acoustic renditions of the band’s signature tracks, which you can find over on Spotify as they’re released.
Mike brought his good friend Riley Haynie into the fold. The Montana native — who released his debut album, Years, in 2021 — brings hardcore and heavy metal roots to his brand of punk-infused rock and roll. He also just released a fun cover of Cher’s 1998 single, “Believe,” which you can find over here.
This is usually where we tell you about ticket price information, but again, this show is free! Come to Cobra Nashville at 8 p.m. with a valid photo ID (21+), and come hang with the NashLive! community.

NashLive! Presents: Krantz, YEARLOVE, and Forts Like Vana at The High Watt
2022-02-04 19:00 - 23:30 (America/New_York) | The High Watt, 1 Cannery Row, Nashville, United States
Any time we’ve been on Cannery Row has been a good time. (Remember this one?) So, on Friday, February 4, we’re heading back on behalf of NashLive!
This time, we’ll be at The High Watt (1 Cannery Row, Nashville) as we bring the rock to downtown Nashville. We will be re-joined on that night by prior NashLive! performers Krantz and Forts Like Vana, while welcoming eclectic alt-rockers YEARLOVE into the fold.
Krantz can best be described as “rock ‘n roll in color from Music City, USA.” You may remember that Krantz joined us smack in the middle of a fun rock lineup at Cobra back in October. We were captivated by his sound and potent onstage energy, and we can’t wait to welcome him back!
YEARLOVE is an alternative rock band residing in Nashville, Tennessee. The band take cues from musicians all across the musical spectrum, drawing influence from various genres such as rock, pop, alternative, and jazz. YEARLOVE separates themselves from the indie scene by creating a modern, yet nostalgic sound.
Forts Like Vana are known around town for their lively stage performances and raw, yet polished sound. In fact, they brought the fire when they opened up NashLive!’s first live, in-person show after the pandemic this past May. We’re excited to see what they do for an encore!

2021-12-10 20:30 - 2021-12-11 00:30 (America/New_York) | Cobra Nashville, 2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
We’re excited to announce a new rock show at The Cobra Nashville on Friday, December 10. This time, we’ll welcome locals Sly Boy, The Sewing Club, and SHELBYY, who will be joined all the way from Cincinnati by internationally-known punks Tiger Sex, whom we had the pleasure of meeting right here in Nashville a couple years back.
Sly Boy is a dark alternative outfit based in Nashville, TN. After producing records for several Nashville area artists, Sly Boy released his self-produced, genre-fluid LP “Jibō Complex” in May of 2021. His live performances feature a mixture of rock, noisewave, and pop macabre.
The Sewing Club is a Nashville Rock band that formed in 2019. The group released their first single on January 16th, 2021 and are working with Jared Corder of Repeat Repeat* to release their debut EP this year.
Tiger Sex is an energetic, in your face, animalistic rock and roll band currently based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Known for pulling out all the stops during their live performances, the band has performed across the United States several times over, as well as in Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
SHELBYY is a modern pop-punk/rock artist from Los Angeles, currently residing in Nashville. Her recent single, “LOUD,” is the quintessential post-COVID anthem, and a sign of the fun, edgy material she has coming down the pipeline. She’ll surely bring that same energy to the table when she joins us in East Nashville!

Red Bull SoundClash: Bren Joy vs. Jake Wesley Rogers
2021-12-09 20:00 - 23:00 (America/New_York) | Marathon Music Works, 1402 Clinton St., Nashville, TN, 37203, United States

While these artists may be competing against each other at every turn, SoundClash is ultimately a celebration of the power of live music, collaboration, and creative empowerment.
Nashville gets ready for Red Bull SoundClash as Nashville native Bren Joy brings the rhythm against glam pop star Jake Wesley Rogers, as they go song-for-song in the ultimate face-off at Marathon Music Works.

NashLive! and Pop Rocks! present: Jon Pattie, DISCOFOX, and Ahli
2021-11-20 20:00 - 2021-11-21 00:00 (America/New_York) | Cobra Nashville, 2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
On Saturday, November 20, NashLive! will team with Pop Rocks! to showcase more of Nashville’s best talent at The Cobra (2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville). That night, we’ll welcome Pop Rocks! founder Jon Pattie alongside pop-soul band DISCOFOX and pop/R&B songwriter Ahli.
Teacher by day, passionate singer-songwriter by night. These are just a few ways to describe indie singer-songwriter Jon Pattie. Starting his music career off as the lead guitarist in a wide variety of bands, Jon ventured into his solo career while pursuing a degree in chemical engineering. Since, Jon has released a number of projects, including his most recent EP, Reflections, Vol. II. Pattie uses the EP to touch on his battles with depression and within difficult relationships, while motivating his listeners to always follow their dreams.
DISCOFOX is a Nashville-based pop/soul band created by New York City Broadway actor Daniel Sovich. These catchy melodies and powerhouse vocals sewn together with the rhythms of Nashville’s top musicians provide for an in-your-face, high-energy evening. DISCOFOX is an all around experience. Come witness The Fox.
Ahli is gender-neutral songwriter and producer with a passion for all things pop and R&B. With a background in commercial music and a college degree in production, Ahli’s music is both raw and fine-tuned. Their song-writing influences include Troye Sivan and Maggie Rodgers with production style similar to Carley Rae Jepsen.

NashLive! Presents: Quinn O'Donnell, Tess, and Spirits Republic
2021-11-18 20:00 - 2021-11-19 00:00 (America/New_York) | Cobra Nashville, 2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
Here’s something we already know about Thursday, November 18: it’s going to rock, and rock hard.
How do we know? Because that’s when we’ll be at The Cobra Nashville (2511 Gallatin Ave.) with a rock and roll lineup featuring Quinn O’Donnell, Vera Bloom, and Spirits Republic.
Quinn O’Donnell is known across Nashville for her raw and emotional performances. Her unique blend of alternative rock paired with atmospheric songwriting gives her a unique, yet timeless sound. Taking inspiration from artists like Death Cab For Cutie and Radiohead, O’Donnell takes root in the early 2000’s and late 90’s. Through her touring and local DIY shows, Quinn and her band full of friends have made their mark in venues across the Nashville area and beyond.
For alternative rock artist Tess, songs are born from moments — angry, filled with confusion, or laced with hope. The songwriter unveils those experiences with her piano centric style, fusing modern pop and classic rock.   For many years Tess supported other acts on keys, BGVs, and as a music journalist. Now she allows her music to rise to the front, giving ear to her creativity inspired by powerful artists like Fiona Apple, Ben Folds and Elton John. In 2020 Tess released her debut single, “Good For Nobody,” introducing her sound and perspective as a songwriter. The indie pop anthem was followed by a closer lean into her rock influences with “Fade Away (To Gray),” featuring upbeat piano and sliding guitar. Working with producer Parke Cottrell of Colony House, the artist recorded her debut EP, set to release the forthcoming summer. The songwriter shares how she wrestles with anxiety, her inner-critic, and learns to find purpose in the middle of it all.
Groovy. Heavy. Psychedelic. These are three words that have been used time and time again to describe Nashville based alternative/experimental rock band, Spirits Republic. The band is known to deliver a fun, fresh slice of progressive alt-rock and has been cited as being, “dynamic,” “unapologetic,” and “like Led Zeppelin mixed with The Smashing Pumpkins, with a hint of early Red Hot Chili Peppers and Primus.”

NashLive! Presents: Chloe Hogan, Alyssa Lazar, and Ali Henderson
2021-11-11 19:00 - 23:00 (America/New_York) | The East Room, 2412 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
We’ll be back at The East Room on Thursday, November 11 with another fresh lineup of Nashville-based female pop artists Chloé Hogan, Alyssa Lazar, and Ali Henderson.
Chloé Hogan takes pieces of every artist she’s ever heard, to inspire her storytelling and songwriting. Her music includes an array of old Motown soul harmonies and live-sounding instrumentals. Though most of what Chloé writes seems to be accented by its bright and groovy nature, the lyrics and overall feeling behind the music are much more somber. The “timeless” conversation of love — and the more evident loss — is the focal point of each work. The incredible dichotomy of her uplifting grooves, partnered with her melancholy lyrical composition, is perhaps the most unique component of Chloé Hogan’s music.
Fueled by the sound and passion of classic rock and roll music, Alyssa Lazar brings a 1970’s nostalgia to today’s pop/rock music. Lazar grew up in Scranton, PA, constantly surrounded by music, and began singing at the age of three. Her transition from singer to musical artist began when she learned to play the piano at the age of eight. Following this, she began to write songs, compose, and accompany herself for shows and performances at every venue throughout her hometown weekly by the age of fifteen. After high school, Alyssa moved to Nashville, TN to continue pursuing her music career. Her love for piano mixed with her love for classic rock brought Alyssa’s music to a sound reminiscent of artists such as Elton John, Lady Gaga, Billy Joel, and Queen. Lazar unapologetically brings out her fiery spirit and dauntless attitude within her theatrical, rock and roll inspired sound.
South Carolina native-turned-Nashville resident Ali Henderson was born to be something special. While southern culture is often synonymous with sweet tea, warm nights, and Country music, it’s always refreshing for an Alt-pop artist like Henderson to emerge from quaint towns like Gaffney, South Carolina. In 2015, Henderson earned a one-way ticket to Hollywood thanks to American Idol, impressing the likes of Keith Urban, Harry Connick Jr. and Jennifer Lopez. After the show she moved to Nashville, where she completed a degree in Songwriting. Gutsy lyrics, fresh yet familiar instrumentation, and killer vocals are Henderson’s M.O.
$10 at the door | 18+ to enter | Must provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a recent negative test

Talia Stewart has made waves with her dark pop sound on Nashville’s alternative scene in recent years, and released an EP titled Murder, She Wrote earlier this year. The lead single, “This Killing Floor,” has garnered more than 20,000 Spotify streams to date.

NashLive! Presents: Skylar Gregg, Charles Ellsworth, and The Daily Fare
2021-10-20 20:00 - 2021-10-21 00:00 (America/New_York) | Cobra Nashville, 2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville, TN, United States
It’s an Americana showcase in the heart of East Nashville on Wednesday, October 20, when Skylar Gregg, Charles Ellsworth, and The Daily Fare join us at The Cobra!
Skylar Gregg engages in a gripping cocktail of hard work, humor, and self discovery, expressing vivid lyrical imagery and raw grit that soaks into every note of her songwriting. The Nashville-based musician translates that into a mixed bag of retro southern music immersed in old soul, 60’s and 70’s country and blues.
Charles Ellsworth is an NYC transplant by way of the White Mountains of Arizona where he was raised on Mormon hymns and Top 40 country music. A storyteller by nature, Ellsworth’s lyrics and near-familiar melodies weave to tell stories of heartbreak and loneliness, while shining a light on the perseverance of the human spirit. A self-proclaimed “recovering toxic sadboy” — Ellsworth’s music has evolved with him. Through sobriety and self-exploration, Ellsworth has shifted from writing songs lamenting “the ones that got away,” to singing honest reflections about what caused them to leave and doing the work to be better.
Northern-born songwriters Alissa Abeler and Hannah Smith joined creative forces to form the duo now known as The Daily Fare. The pair grew up on opposite sides of the music world, with influences ranging from Judy Garland and Adele to Beethoven and Bach, with a healthy dose of Broadway, punk cabaret, and 80s ballads sprinkled in the mix.
Their shared affection for poignant and evocative narrative teamed with years of playing small intimate shows have transformed the once-placid duo’s sound into the story-weaving powerhouse they are today. With characteristically unique vocal harmonies and engaging instrumentation, The Daily Fare are carving out a niche for themselves within the Americana genre while their honest and occasionally eccentric approach to storytelling continues to engage new listeners on this creative journey. Their sound has been compared to First Aid Kit, The Milk Carton Kids, and The Civil Wars.

Dakota effortlessly blends contemporary pop sounds with old Motown musical motifs for easy listening. After a full year of five single releases, Dakota is set to drop her debut EP this fall. She started off the summer by releasing the project’s first single, titled “Good For You,” which landed her writeups in Rolling Stone India, Earmilk, Vents Magazine, and several other notable music outlets.
Indianapolis native Julia Kahn captivates listeners with her authenticity and soul-moving voice, blending indie-electronic production underneath a deep chill wave, R&B, indie-pop vibe. She carries a vibrant artistic vision that is connective and magnetic through her soulful lyrics and storytelling, dealing out heartfelt grooves that reach out to your soul.

A Chicagoland native, Timothy Myles kicked off the ticketed era of Live from the 615 shows, back when our world was entirely virtual. His EP, Songs of Hope from Sorrow, was recorded live at Battery Lane Music in East Nashville, and released in full this spring. An engaging performer and songsmith, Myles’ performance will serve as a warm welcome to The East Room!
Speaking of that show back in March, Natasha Blaine also crushed it that night. Since then, she’s released her new EP, titled I Fall in Love Too Easily, which has only helped her brand of jazz-pop catch fire here in Nashville — and everywhere else!
SHELBYY is a modern pop-punk/rock artists from Los Angeles, currently residing in Nashville.
