I hope you've rested your liver all week, because Next Big Nashville 2009 kicks off today. There are a full slate of daytime panels before the traditional film premiere at the Belcourt. This year it's We Fun, a documentary about Atlanta's music scene that was oddly enough made in Nashville. But if movies aren't your thing, there are also a couple of showcases happening on opening night this year. The End, The Rutledge, Mercy Lounge and Cannery Ballroom all have a full slate of bands. Most popular among them will probably be the Ten Out of Tenn showcase at the Cannery Ballroom, a collective of some of Nashville's best pop singer/songwriter/solo artists. But if you like your rock and roll with a healthy dose of country & folk influences, head to The End to catch roots heavy sets from Luke and the Late Nights, Caitlin Rose, Alberta Cross and Phosphorescent.
Plan your own activities by visiting the NBN09 schedule page.
Phosphorescent - "A Picture Of Our Torn Up Praise" (mp3) from Pride
Caitlin Rose - "Shotgun Wedding" (mp3) from Dead Flowers
