There is not shortage of good music to see this weekend in Nashville. Here’s what made a blip on my radar.

FRIDAY:

Social Distortion w/ Chuck Ragan and Sharks @ the Ryman. 8pm. $35

John Vanderslice w/ Damien Jurado @ the Basement. 9pm $12

SATURDAY:

Bad Cop, The Growlers, Majestico, Mom & Dad @ The End. 9pm $5 (Certain out-of-town media will be there filming, so… you know, it’ll be the place to be.)

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. w/ Generationals @ the Basement. 9pm $10

Mogwai w/ Errors @ Exit/In. 9pm $18 adv/$20 DoS

Another few things to note:

–Musician’s Corner in Centennial Park is off to a good start for its second year of existence.

-fEASTival is a new FREE food/music/art festival being held this Saturday the 21st in the 5 Points area of East Nashville. Check out their website for a list of yummy food vendors, beer vendors, and stage lineup which includes such notables as Majestico, Cheer Up Charlie Daniels, the Grayces, and Tiffany. Yes, THAT Tiffany… who a) apparently lives in Nashville now? b) recently starred alongside Debbie Gibson in Megan Python Vs. Gatoroid c) is now doing country music. Whoa.

Have a great weekend!
