The last full week of August was a busy one. So busy, in fact, that our coverage spilled over into this lengthy monthlong recap post. Between fall show announcements, the beginning and end of festivals and concert series, Best of Nashville voting, another installment of our Acme Feed & Seed Showcase, a new episode of our podcast with John Davis (The Lees of Memory, ex-Superdrag), video and album releases, and more, we wouldn’t blame you if you missed some of our coverage.
