What a week, huh? If you didn’t manage to catch an awesome show in the past seven days, you’re definitely doing it wrong. I think most of the No Country crew are suffering from post-ENU fatigue, but we still managed to catch quite a few other fantastic shows as well. We also interviewed a legend, caught some killer bands at Beale St., gave away more tickets, brought you some HUGE show announcements, and more!

In case you missed anything, here’s a recap of everything we covered on the site last week:

It’s been quite a week, and this weekend is going to be an absolute blowout of amazing music.  We have been telling you about East Nashville Underground all. week. long.  If you haven’t bought your tickets for that yet, you’ll have to get there early and hope the remaining tickets aren’t sold out.  We also spent some time with Courtney Jaye’s new record, and she has her release party going on over The Stone Fox on Friday night.  T. Rust popped onto our radar with his video release of “Houses”, and they are going to be ripping up The End on Friday night. Holla if you remember our write up about the Generationals helping to start this blog, because we did a ticket giveaway for their show over at The High Watt. And, just yesterday, we did a review of that awesome new Hotpipes record Dust too, and those cats are gonna be having their own little release party over at Mercy Lounge on Saturday night too.

See… We’ve been preparing for this weekend all week, but we aren’t even close to finished.  We have more festivals, Bonnaroo and Hangout Fest sized bands, and tons more after the jump.  Get out and see some live music this weekend.

Courtney Jaye Releases Love and Forgiveness Today & a Grimey’s In-store

I’m admittedly not a fan of today’s country music.  It’s a personal choice.  I respect your personal choices, so please don’t waste your time or mine leaving hating messages about my personal choices.  To be honest, I haven’t always cringed at country.  I actually have a very soft spot in my heart for some of the country music of yore.  It’s this same squishy spot that wants to tell you about the new record Love And Forgiveness by Nashville sweetheart Courtney Jaye.

Courtney Jaye is a name that I have heard since I moved to Nashville a few years ago, though I never really had a firm grip on who she was.  I knew there was some twang from my Road To Bonnaroo introduction, and I knew there was a bit of folk with an island influence from listening to different recordings. There are more traditional pop sounds that creep into some songs.  I also knew that she was part of JEFF’s “Sixpack” video, which made me wonder if she wasn’t more of a rocker at heart.  After listening to Love and Forgiveness though, I now know Courtney Jaye’s voice.

You can read and listen below, and you have a couple of chances this week to get out to see Jaye perform.  She has an in-store tonight at Grimeys around 6pm.  As always, this one is free, and there will be some tasty canned beerverages for those of age.  If you are the weekend warrior type, mark your calendar for her record release party at The Stone Fox with Nashville “supergroup” JP5 on Friday night.

Once again, we’ve got a night so packed with great shows, we just couldn’t help but round them all up in one big preview post for you! If you can’t manage to find anything that piques your interest, well, citizen of Music City, you’re doing it wrong.

Check out our recommendations for this surprisingly stacked Wednesday:

FAMILY OF THE YEAR w/ The Mowgli’s
@ 3rd and Lindsley | 7PM (6PM doors) | All Ages | $10

If you’ve been keeping up with our Music on Television feature, you already know we’ve been raving about California indie pop band Family of the Year as they’ve made their recent late night rounds. Their sun-dripped, melodic, and infectious sound makes their return trip to Nashville our top recommendation for this evening. Don’t sleep on this amazing band! To sweeten the deal, The Mowgli’s (whose recent TV appearance we also plugged) are the perfect, catchy, west coast rock and roll compliment to Family of the Year’s sound. But you don’t have to take our word for it, just ask Lindsay Lohan. ;)

Poni Silver (of The Ettes) Talks Nashville Fashion Week

Nashville Fashion Week is right around the corner, and, you are surely asking yourself, why is this music blogger (who has no sense of fashion) writing about Fashion Week.  Well, because Poni (aka Maria) Silver, the drummer from Nashville’s The Ettes, moonlights in the fashion world, and that is surely newsworthy.  Also, I’m a dude, and Fashion Week means sexy ladies of all kinds will be highlighting our fair town.

If you are interested in learning more about Poni’s fashion line (Black by Maria Silver), you should check out the video from our friends and NFW sponsor, Native Magazine below.  If you are interested in learning more about Nashville Fashion Week, you should check out their link.  If you don’t know what I am talking about with sexy ladies highlighting Nashville, you should check out the picture below the video of two of my favorite crushes in Nashville (Poni and Courtney Jaye) in a glimpse from the ”Models In The Morning” series by Asher Moss.  Sigh, I’m in love… or is this just lust?  Why am I blushing?
