Tenacious D to Play FirstBank Amphitheater Sept. 7

For nearly 30 years, musical comedy duo Tenacious D have been a beloved institution in the rock scene, rising to prominence in the 2000s while the group’s Jack Black also became a household name as a comedy movie star (his bandmate, Kyle Gass, has also appeared in numerous films and TV shows over the years, including the duo’s own movie, 2006’s Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny). Across four albums, intermittent touring, film and television projects, awards, and famous fans (though their music is funny, their spirit of rock and roll couldn’t be more genuine), the legend of Tenacious D has only flourished, and any time the pair reconvene to make music- which they’ve made a point to do every few years- it’s always a momentous occasion.

Currently in the midst of a global trek dubbed The Spicy Meatball Tour, Black and Gass returned last month with their first original Tenacious D tune in five years, “Video Games” (which they’ll perform later this month at The Game Awards). Then, more recently, they released a recorded version of fan-favorite Chris Isaak cover, “Wicked Game” (watch videos for both below). And, finally, the duo expanded their tour with a new leg of U.S. dates, which includes their first Nashville area show in four years, Sept. 7 at Franklin’s FirstBank Amphitheater!

As we said, the pair’s musical and touring activity remains somewhat intermittent, so any chance to see them live is one we’ll surely jump at! Tickets are on sale now right here, and they’re likely to go quick.
