Co-founded by Ryan Spaulding (radio host and founder of the popular Ryan’s Smashing Life blog) and Adam Duritz (of Counting Crows fame), The Outlaw Roadshow is a curated musical showcase (similar to Communion) which is, for the first time, hosting an event in Nashville this weekend, July 17 and 18 at Mercy Lounge and The High Watt. Totally FREE and boasting an incredible, 30+ band lineup, the Music City installment is presented by Lightning 100 and Native, among other talented partners, and even includes three performers we handpicked (Fleurie, CAPPA, and Moseley). Kicking off at 7 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday, this is definitely the show of the weekend, and should satisfy the festival-esque needs for those of you who didn’t make it to Forecastle. Below, preview tunes from the stacked and diverse mostly local lineup, and be sure to keep an eye out for last minute secret set announcements- we hear they’re going to be exciting!
