Remember us telling you about that East Nashville Underground Festival a few months ago? Well, it’s a new season, new bands, new beer, new crib…. same awesome! It’s unbelievable amounts of hard work that has given this house party a life of it’s own. They have left the sometimes cramped confines of the house in East Nashville, and have moved into a new event space (The East Room) at 2412 Gallatin. They have ditched the free domestic beer for STILL FREE Nashville brew from sponsor Fat Bottom. You also have free booze, 18 bands, 3 DJs, and free Mimosas & Muffins (on Saturday afternoon).
Tickets for this thing run $12/night and $5 for Saturday afternoon, or you can just knock the whole weekend out for $20. That’s a pretty good deal for one piece of paper with Andrew Jackson’s mug on it. Buy a wristband in advance, and you will also get one of these sweet t-shirts.
Seriously, with a lineup like you’ll see below, I have no idea how they are pulling this off, but I’ve learned not to punch the gift horse in the mouth.
