Eastside Bowl at “The 58”
with Luella, Wasp Eater, and Lydia Maes I walked into Eastside Bowl not knowing exactly what I would find. Nashville sure does like its bowling alleys to feature live music and it is wonderfully nostalgic. I’ve been to Brooklyn Bowl a few times now in Music City and it has always been a trip. I…
