We’ve made it again, team. We’ve got a bunch of shows at Drkmttr to kick off the week including the Life is Boring reading with musical guest and our boy Asher Horton, then Matthew J and his Wheels on Tuesday. Wednesday we have the always crushing Pile in town from Boston. Thursday is a tite event for classic original taste Nashville with the reunion of instrumental pioneers Character (featuring @lukefromnashville, William Tyler, Dave Paulson and more) as a benefit for the family of Candice Ferguson. We’ll see you at this one. The week wraps with Paul Simon at the Ryman and Useless Eaters at The End.
