JUNG YOUTH
We recently sat down with the local hip-hop artist to talk shop and you can read all about it here and be sure to peep his video below.
THE YOUNG INTERNATIONAL
These Nash natives’ polished alternative rock has been making heads bob for almost three years now, and they’re only gaining acclaim. Have a taste …
MAJESTICO
Majestico are just plain rock ’n’ fuckin’ roll, with some showmanship added for good measure. We couldn’t be happier to see them growing in popularity. The live video below is just a sample of their sound, and how bad ass is that feather headdress!?
BUFFALO RODEO
The Bowling Green Kentucky natives will be bringing their progressive, reverb indie rock south to Music City, and their huge sound with have you hippie dancing in no time!
SOL CAT
The local boys play an “every man” form of indie that is catchy as shit. Check out their video below, and instantly miss lounging outside in the summer.
BLACK SEA ROYALTY
Their foot-tapping alternative pop is perfect for shaking loose even the deepest, ugliest moods. Become uplifted.
KRISTEN CAPOLINO
Hailing from Woodstock, NY, this pint-sized thrasher is a ball of energy and an amazing collage of guitar faces. We have NEVER seen a lady shred quite like this. Sit back and enjoy.
THE HARMALEIGHS
Helping to broaden the Jingle Ball spectrum even more, the Nashvegas folk trio bring a lighter sound for everyone to enjoy and to help us all level out. Check out their music below!
PILOT ROGUE
This band is brand spanking new, as in they formed earlier this year. Be one of the first people to catch their alternative sounds live!
LAUREN RANTALA
Nash transplant via NC, her jazzy influenced indie pop is unique to the bill and worth more than a passing glance.
BODY OF LIGHT
Earlier this week we told you all about Body of Light’s experimental EP, and you can read about it here or take a listen directly underneath these words.
CLASSIC WILLIAMS
Another dose of hip-hop flavored tunes for this evening’s festivities! Check out his tripped out video. Drugs not included.
THAT’S MY KID
Raw nerve blues rock ’n’roll at it’s finest. If you ask me, power trios will never be passe.
