Awesome Shows I’ve Seen Lately

“Spring is always full of life – musically and otherwise – here in Nashville, and I’ve been out and about trying to catch as much live music as I possibly can. So without further ado, here are some of the latest shows that have truly blown me away…Soulful pop rocker Tim Brantley opened with a thirty minute set, and his powerful voice had the crowd silent and at full attention within moments. He played tunes from his upcoming debut CD Goldtop Heights – set to be released on April 21 – and I encourage everyone to grab a copy. Brantley will be gracing Nashville again on April 27 at the Exit/In for those who can make it.” (excerpted)
Brantley is a throwback to an era when musicians used distinct images and dynamic production to tell cinematic stories. His music takes listeners on a rock journey that evokes radio hits of the 1970s, when Todd Rundgren, Billy Joel, Journey and Fleetwood Mac were topping the charts with larger-than-life songs that told surprisingly compelling personal narratives.
Local TV has featured Tim in multiple cities, as he’s toured relentlessly in the lead-up to his CD release. Recent appearances include New York’s NBC-TV WEEKEND TODAY SHOW, CBS-TV News in Chattanooga & Charlotte, FOX-TV’s GOOD DAY ATLANTA, Birmingham’s FOX6 News at Noon and more…
