| Event Name | Organization | Dates | City | | 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 |
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 |

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 |
Keith Anderson and Chad WarrixPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 22, 2012 “I’ve been a songwriting junkie my whole life. The first thing I’ve always done when I’ve gotten a new CD was take out the insert and find out who wrote what. I’ve dreamed my whole life of writing with my heroes and have been blessed to be able to write with many of them.”
Keith Anderson could be the poster child for the notion that good things happen to good people. He’s quickly earned the reputation of being an adept writer of award... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 05/22/12 | Nashville |
Chuck FosterPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 23, 2012 Born and raised outside of Nashville TN, Chuck Foster grew up playing gospel piano and guitar in his hometown Methodist church.

Foster formed popular southern rock/jam band Old Union in 2001, and began honing his songwriting skills in front of audiences around the country. In 2004, Old Union was chosen to be... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 05/23/12 | Nashville |
Levi LowreyPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 31, 2012 It’s a wedding ceremony. The groom and visibly pregnant bride are impossibly young—so young, they must still be in high school, or only recently graduated. “Do they know what they’re getting into?” you wonder.
It’s an indelible scene from “Hold On Tight,” a song from I Confess I Was A Fool, Levi Lowrey’s Southern Ground debut. It testifies not only to his skill as a songwriter, but also to his unsparing... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 05/31/12 | Nashville |

THE ODD COUPLE by NEIL SIMONPresented by Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre at Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre April 26-May 27, 2012 Simon's play centers on a pair of desperately mismatched roommates--one sloppy and one neat--who are arguably the most memorable pair of characters that the successful playwright has ever written. Felix Ungar, a neurotic fusspot news writer, and Oscar Madison, a slovenly sports journalist.
