NashLive! Presents: Quinn O’Donnell, Tess, and Spirits Republic

Posted on by Leave a comment

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.”

Live from the 615 Presents: Timothy Myles, Natasha Blaine, and SHELBYY

We’ll be returning to The East Room (2412 Gallatin Ave., Nashville) on Thursday, July 29 with a fun bill offering many different shades of pop. Joining us to complete this endeavor are the super talents of Nashville locals Timothy Myles, Natasha Blaine, and SHELBYY

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. Her new 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!

Live from the 615 Presents: Dan Fuson, New Suede, A Tribe of Horsman, and Down Boy

On Wednesday, August 18, we’ll welcome Dan Fuson, New Suede, A Tribe of Horsman, and Down Boy into the heart of East Nashville.

It’s been a big year for Dan Fuson. Not only did he absolutely slay a Live from the 615 virtual performance earlier this spring, but before that, he released an EP, Young + Improving, which pushed musical boundaries and cemented him as one of the most versatile pop rock artists in all of Nashville.

New Suede consists of Chandler Mills Brown, Elijah Perron, Alex Ramsay, and Matt MacPhail. The Murfreesboro-based rock and roll band are veterans of the Nashville rock scene, and have had a nice amount of streaming success — their single, “Taxi,” has accrued more than 20,000 Spotify streams to date.

A Tribe of Horsman recently participated in a spirited edition of UMC Fun -N- Games. Fronted by Dhalton Horsman, the trio also features Sean van Rossum (bass) and Aaron Hopkins (drums). Together, they’re working on their debut record, which we might hear a bit of riiiiight around the time of this show.

And then, there’s Down Boy. They’re also Fun -N- Games alums, and they just released a sick new video for their song, “Traction,” which has already amassed more than 1,000 views. To top it off, they’re one of the tightest trios you’ll ever hear play live. Prepare to be amazed!

Live from the 615 Presents: Borrowed Sparks, The Garden of Eden, and The Dirty Delusions at The 5 Spot

We’ll be at The 5 Spot (1006 Forrest Ave., Nashville) on Saturday, July 10. Joining us will be a trio of red-hot Nashville-based rock acts — Borrowed Sparks, The Garden of Eden, and The Dirty Delusions.

You may remember that Borrowed Sparks joined us for a couple of live streams earlier this year, with the most recent being a show on May 7 with Stray Nova. This is a chance to hear their prime cuts of American rock & roll live and in-person during a lively set that will feature tunes from their debut EP, The Prettiest One Left, available now digitally and on vinyl.

Fronted by songsmith Scotty Chapman, The Garden of Eden is a consistent presence on the East Nashville rock scene, even releasing a live EP from The East Room last year.

The Dirty Delusions celebrated the release of their new album, Too Young for Love, on a Live from the 615 stream back in March. This is your chance to catch them up close and personal with us!

Live from the 615 Presents: Talia Stewart, Katie King, and Fresh Lady at The East Room

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. Talia’s recent success adds to her already impressive resume, which includes placements on CW television series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash, as well as viral success on TikTok for her single, “Look Ma No Hands.”

Joining Talia on the bill will be a versatile lineup featuring Katie King and Fresh Lady. King, who released her Divine EP earlier this month, is a rising star on Nashville’s alt-pop scene. The Concord, NC native crafted the EP through the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, and uses her music as a vehicle for peace, energy, and self-empowerment.

Inspired by vocalists like Nina Simone, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, and Sade, Fresh Lady’s velvety voice winds you through a minefield of romance, recovery, and self-acceptance. The Brooklyn-born, Nashville-based artist (real name: Emma Morcroft) earned her stripes singing at blues jams at the age of 14, and her sound has progressed to a unique blend she calls “Soul Candy Pop,” which can be heard on her debut EP, Citrine, available on all streaming platforms.
