We’re getting the Rundown to you a day late this week, but it’s only because we’ve been so busy preparing for our fourth birthday party next Monday. While we’re making sure everything is ready for the big night, the rest of Nashville has a pretty good week of shows to look forward to. There’s a rare appearance by Denney & the Jets at Springwater on Thursday, Tav Falco’s Panther Burns will be playing at the Stone Fox on Friday, and Ultras S/C will be making their postpartum return at that show as well. For the take-em-or-leave-em shows, Lil Wyte is at Exit/In on Thursday (scarecrow, scarecrow…) and Merle Haggard is at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch on Sunday. Pretty pretty prettttty sick. See ya there, young people.
