I was in Nashville for the first time last year. There is, _lots_ of live music. Every hotel I walked in (I was at a conference) there was a live band in the lobby. Then another live band in the upstairs bar. You walk outside and there's a live band in the park. This was all downtown.

But everything I saw was "americana" vibes. Singer on acoustic guitar kinda thing. I was only there for a weekend so not a fair shake perhaps.

Check out the punk and alternative recommendations at the end if you want something fresh! My personal favorites from that latter half are Waxed and Wesley and the Boys/ Switchblade Twist. There's some really great music happening in Nashville aside from the typical americana, singer-songwriter, and country acts.

Ok yeah, I missed that, sorry! Switchblade Twist is good!
