Music City Madness, Dee’s Lounge & Everything Local | Vendors, musicians & community came together to create a space filled with harmony

 This month’s event was hosted by Dee’s Lounge in Madison, Tennessee. Owner, Amy Dee says of her place, “I couldn’t find a classic country venue around Nashville when I moved here, so I opened one”.  Since 2016 it has grown to so much more than just a hub for country music, as the venue host all types of genres with just three simple rules: Pay Your Tab, Don’t Be an Asshole and You Must be 21 to Enter. It remains a classic “dive-bar” with lovely locals and a fantastic staff that want to make your experience a great one.  The decor is straight out of the 1970’s (think Urban Cowboy) and you feel like you’vefound a second home when you walk through the doors.  Not only is there a space to play music inside with nice sound quality, but there is a space out back with a large stage and plenty of seating and room for dancing on those sunny days.  This was one of those days.

The Weird Sisters Have a New Single Out

When you see them play live, it is a cavalcade of foot pedals and knobs turning, all while playing their instruments and singing melodic harmonies that match the tonality of lasers and humming spaceships.  They are wildly mesmerizing and talented as all get out.  So, when a new song comes from the depths of the minds from this dynamic duo, you know that the work has been put in and sonically it will be different from anything you typically hear in the mainstream.

Record Store Day is here again

“Independent record stores are so important because you get the chance to immerse and surround yourself. I love collecting vinyl because nothing is better than sitting on your couch putting on a record and just listening to music like that. Not just staring at your phone and downloading something or listening to something on your phone, but to actually see all of this beautiful art around you. It inspires me.” – Bruno Mars, Record Store Day 2026 Ambassador

House of the Setting Sun

The night was curated to flawlessness. As I exited, I hugged people that I had only met a few hours before.  We need more interactions like these.  Stop with all the divisive behavior and come together over commonality. We have limited time on this floating space orb, and we should be sharing in its beauty, rather than fighting for control.  Find your community.  Find your space.  It is then that you will find your peace.

TreeHouse Nashville- Waning Gibbous in Scorpio

Twas a fairly standard rainy, and mildly stormy, Nashville (almost Spring) Saturday. A perfect night for the Underground Music Scene of aspiring artists that lurk within the streets of this city. Ambitious beings, with a vision, a dream, a heart and a purpose to climb the mountain that is their artistic legacy. Here under the Waning Full Moon, now in Scorpio, hidden by the dark clouds. A perfect night to cozy up with a dear friend, enjoy an immaculate charcuterie board (handcrafted by Hive Board Nash) and experience the musical craft from the bleeding hearts of Nashville. TreeHouse Nash was hosting their March show at the lovely Rosemary Schultz’ home. I had the pleasure to witness to a night full of local, underground, debuting, passionate, and everything in between, artists, creatives and musicians. Here the community gathered into an intimate space, all for the shared love of music.

Eastside Bowl, DRKMTTR and 615 Indie Live

February 7th, 2026 marked the second installation of 615 Indie Live in Nashville, Tennessee. There were nearly 70 collective musical acts performing at 15 venues across the city. The purpose is to promote within.  The nonprofit organization of Music Venue Alliance Nashville (MVAN) works hard to make sure that independent venues and artists of the area are represented and able to perform during a typically slow time for live music. This is a celebration of new artists, singers, songwriters and original music that you may not get your ear to through any other channel.  The whole experience was just $20 to get into every spot and see every band possible.
