Foxy Shazam w/ The Poor Boys & Death on Two WheelsPresented by 12th and Porter at 12th and Porter May 22, 2012 Foxy Shazam's music is an unhinged, maniacal mix of piano, guitar, howling vocals, double-kickdrum percussion, and rock & roll theatrics. The quintet hails from Cincinnati, OH, where bandmates Eric Nally (vocals), Loren Turner (guitar), Daisy (bass), Sky White (piano), and Joe Halberstadt (drums) first joined forces in 2004. Recording sessions for The Flamingo Trigger began that year and stretched into early 2005,... | 12th and Porter | 05/22/12 | Nashville |

Greg Laswell with Elizabeth Ziman (of Elizabeth and the Catapult)Presented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 19, 2012 So there I was, in a town that has fewer year-round residents than were at Disneyland today. I had my normal studio-dog Shep Proudfoot to keep me company and the faint chime from a fog horn every 15 seconds (a sound that peeks through a few of the slower songs if you’re listening on headphones). I had little-to-no cellphone reception, which gave way to naming the record after its title track: Landline. Plus, it was a better title than Greg Laswell: Fog Horn. I taped two index cards... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 05/19/12 | Nashville |
The Wandering with Luther DickinsonPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 20, 2012 The Wandering gathers five traditionally-minded artists from Memphis and North Mississippi and features the string work of Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars, Black Crowes) and a quartet of distinctive female voices—Shannon McNally, Amy LaVere, Valerie June, and Sharde Thomas, erstwhile leader of the Rising Star Fife and Drum band.
The women are all accomplished musicians, and it was actually for this reason that Luther initially gathered them together.

Elenowen : E.P. ReleasePresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 26, 2012 It’s called ‘chemistry’, an elusive quality that can be part history, part mystery and all intangible until the moment that you feel it. It’s a meant-to-be melding of the emotional and creative that can happen between songwriters, performers, best friends or life partners. For Josh and Nicole Johnson – the duo Elenowen – that connection is all of the above and much more. And on their self-titled EP, the chemistry they share is as rare – and real... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 05/26/12 | Nashville |
Gary Clark Jr. plus Michael Kiwanuka w/ L.P.Presented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill June 10, 2012 MICHAEL KIWANUKA
Few records make such an instant impression as Home Again, the debut album by Michael Kiwanuka. Immersing the listener in a sound that is both modern and at the same time as familiar as the classics, it manages to strike the balance between being contemporary and somehow utterly timeless.
“I just wanted to make a record that, when someone puts it on, it takes them to a certain place,” says the 24-year-old north Londoner. “I wanted it to... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 06/10/12 | Nashville |

Edwin McCainPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill June 17, 2012 In a way, Edwin McCain began sowing the seeds of Mercy Bound, his tenth album and debut for 429 Records, seven years ago. The songs comprising Mercy Bound are the fruits of an on-again, off-again collaboration with fellow singer/songwriter Maia Sharp that began in 2004 with their lovely duet “Say Anything.” Since co-writing and tracking that song, McCain and Sharp have kept up their friendship and creative partnership. They decided to make Mercy Bound their first... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 06/17/12 | Nashville |
BoDeansPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill June 21, 2012 “I’ve always thought of the BoDeans as a truly American band,” says Kurt Neumann, the founder, primary writer and frontman of the veteran Milwaukee-based group. “We were blue-collar kids straight out of the heartland—how could we be anything else? ‘Roots rock’ was a label I fought when I was younger, but I came to realize that if by ‘roots’ you meant blues, rock, country and soul all slammed together into one sound, then I’d say... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 06/21/12 | Nashville |
Canon Blue plus Paper Route w/ Half NotePresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill June 24, 2012 Rumspringa is the 11-song orchestral pop marvel from Canon Blue, the solo project from American singer-songwriter Daniel James. The record was written while touring the world with Danish indie rock band Efterklang, and primarily recorded in the off-hours at their Copenhagen studio. A tour de force if there ever was one, Rumspringa is one part modern dance record, with warm, synth-driven melodies and tender lyrics, and one part classical exploration of emotions, with violin crescendos and... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 06/24/12 | Nashville |
First Aid KitPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill October 5, 2012 Bittersweet is the word the Söderberg sisters prefer. “We like bittersweet songs, songs that affect you differently depending on how you interpret them,” says Klara, the younger of the Swedish siblings that make up First Aid Kit. “Making the melodies and lyrics head in different directions is very deliberate,” adds big sister Johanna. “A song like ‘Emmylou’ sounds cheerful, but the lyrics are the saddest thing you ever heard.” First Aid... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 10/05/12 | Nashville |

The Trishas with Ruston KellyPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 27, 2012 THE TRISHAS
The four principal members of Austin’s The Trishas would have you believe that they’re not blood related. But a DNA test might be in order. True, their individual bios may support their claims of having all had separate lives before meeting each other; but to hear them sing together, you’d swear they were harmonizing from the womb.
Then again, sometimes luck and fate sing in perfect harmony, too, and uncontested magic just happens... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 05/27/12 | Nashville |

Webb WilderPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 19, 2012 Hardly a purist, he has described the music he and his band, The Beatnecks, make as, "Rock for Roots fans and Roots for Rock fans." In essence: Rock and Roll. There’s nothing new about combining R & B, Rock and Roll, Country, Blues, Pop and Rock. The Rolling Stones and the Beatles proved that it can yield marvelous and diverse results. I said he wasn’t a PURIST. I didn’t say he wasn’t very PICKY about the quality of the music. That includes everything... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 05/19/12 | Nashville |
