One of the advantages of living in Nashville (Music City USA) is the unlimited amount of live music to experience. Among the best is the Jack Pearson Trio. With Charles Treadway on the Hammond organ and Joshua Hunt on drums they can produce some amazing music of all genres. Almost every month they play at 3^rd and Lindsley where often other world class musicians come sit in. This last month saw Pat Bergeson join in and wow the crowd with his harmonica prowess.

The Stolen Faces are not just another Grateful Dead Cover band. As befitting their home in Nashville, TN (Music City USA) their musical expertise makes them the band to which all others strive to be. The core members are Jack Silverman on guitar and Christian Grizzard on bass.  And their sometimes musical partner, Annie Sellick, a vocalist of great standing in her own right, adds a component which takes one back to the best Dead shows of the 70's.

The Marcus King Band at 20th Century Theater

The Marcus King Band made an appearance Tuesday night at the 20th Century Theater. Marcus King is a 20 year old guitarist who can play with the best of them, including the legendary Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks. Marcus and his phenomenal band played mostly originals and also broke out a few Allman Brothers covers. Marcus has been traveling the country and playing some international dates of recent. He also played the Warren Haynes Christmas Jam last week in Asheville. I have been seeing Marcus, when I lived in Asheville, since he was 16. There will be no slowing down for Marcus or his band anytime soon. Check him our at marcuskingband (dot) com.
