Imagination is the key to today’s Songs You Should Hear — whether that means re-imagining that which has already been given life, or imagining a new, harmonious direction for varying musical styles.
Jenna and I teamed up again to bring these your way. Let’s get to it!
Hear What You Should
To say we’re pumped about a fresh new year of music and possibilities is an understatement. We’re already seeing the submission form fill up with new reasons for excitement in 2022, and we can’t wait to keep digging in!

This week’s Songs You Should Hear showcases the broad scope of the music out there for all of us — from the more traditional, to the completely unorthodox.

Let’s start this weekend right!
Happy HalloWeekend! We’re sure to be busy, seeing as we’re throwing — and then recovering from — our biggest show of the year tonight at Mercy Lounge.

Get those tickets online or at the door!

We were completely blown away by Fresh Lady‘s Live from the 615 performance a couple weeks back. Her band was incredibly tight, and we found her to be a highly engaging performer. That’s why we’re so excited for her to join us later this month at The East Room, alongside Talia Stewart and Katie King.

Back on March 12, we had our first ticketed version of a Live from the 615 production. To celebrate, we brought in the songwriting talents of Timothy Myles, Quinn O’Donnell, and Natasha Blaine!
