Rachel LoyPresented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 17, 2012 Hard to pin down, and hard to forget, Rachel Loy has always had it both ways: she's a sweet, petite blonde who sings heartrending ballads with an aching vulnerability, and she drives her electric bass like it's a pack of pit bulls.

She rode the fleeting fame train with a major-label, Billboard-charted hit single at the ripe age of nineteen, and now she's ready to be discovered—again. | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 05/17/12 | Nashville |
