Join Nashville’s Zach Schmidt alongside Louisville’s Brent Mathis and Tim Delonjay for a singer-songwriter show. These country folk artists have written great stories. Let them share them with you.

 Monday at the tap room means METAL. This week Tombstalker is invading, performing “Black Crusades” from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, this will be the last chance to see the retro pop-punk outfit in Louisville. The Nashville group announced in December they would be taking an indefinite hiatus after their January tour, luckily we made the list! This show is one you don’t want to miss. They were dubbed one of the best live shows in Paste Magazine in 2014. So, come say goodbye and rock out with Those Darlins one last time.

The members of Greensky Bluegrass are not your typical bluegrass pickers. They’ve got the strings we love, but their sound expands beyond the influence of Appalachia. Their cover of Pink Floyd’s “Time” exemplifies this.

This is a FREE show featuring two hardcore Louisville bands.

He ain’t rich, but he damn sure wants to be, and he also wants a boat. The American pop country singer is bringing his hits for all the country music fans to hear. I wonder if you can get in for free if you show up in a boat?

I’m really pumped for this one. Bully is one of my latest obsessions. They’ve got feels of 90s alt bands like The Vaselines, The Breeders, and Pavement, but so much more. Front (wo)man, Alicia Bognanno, writes these punchy self-exploiting lyrics that give the band a relatable element. The pop hooks are catchy with a grunge influence. Playing with Bully is Chicago band, Fake Limbs, and Louisville’s very own, Brenda.

Session musician, sideman, solo performer, whatever, Leon Russell is a music legend. The multi-instrumentalist and songwriter has played alongside popular musicians like Elton John, Ray Charles, The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, The Band, and many, many more. Also performing is Louisville’s upcoming Americana artist, Justin Paul Lewis.

Good luck getting tickets to this one. The Student Activities Board of U of L put together this sick line up, but only for students, well, kind of. A U of L student can purchase two tickets and then bring a non-student guest, but boy does that sound like a lot of work. 

This is a night not only for live music but art. Local musicians will play, and local artists will peddle their goods! 

This Louisville bluegrass/jamgrass group used to play across from a restaurant I worked at. I always made an excuse to go outside and “clean tables” so that I could hear them play. They did a cover of a Ween song and gained my respect immediately.
