  • Nobody’s changed the game in bluegrass music in the past decade more than Billy Strings. He moved from his home state of MI to Nashville a bit less than ten years ago with an insider reputation as a hot young picker who embodied the spirit of Doc Watson. Since then, he’s taken good bluegrass to arena scale and written a ton of great new songs for the canon. His newest album Highway Prayer is, I think, his best yet – at least his best album of bluegrass music. Few experiments or digressions. So many hot performances and songs.

  • The ambience at Two Dollar Tuesdays at East Nashville’s 5 Spot had a magic all its own. It was a neon-lit weekly church service of sorts, blending community fellowship with the sacred calling of nurturing and showcasing independent roots and rock and roll music at Music City’s most eclectic crossroads. After the closure of the Radio Cafe and the Slow Bar, the 5 Spot became the HQ for East Nashville’s musical renaissance through the 2010s, and Two Dollar Tuesdays (a mismatch of cover charge and musical value more alarming than today’s streaming rates) became its most reliable live event. The man who launched and built it was songwriter/artist Derek Hoke.
