Cream Calendar / Creamtastic / Next Big Nashville Phosphorescent Tonight at The End, as Next Big Nashville Gets Underway
Posted by Steve Haruch on Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 6:06 AM
It's Next Big Nashville time, people. Among those bands contributing to the nextier and bigger feel of this year's fest is Brooklyn's Phosphorescent. Whatchoo know about Phosphorescent? From our Critics' Picks, the affable "It's so Cold in the" D. Patrick Rodgers:
Yes, Phosphorescent is one of the larger-name, non-Nashville acts booked at Next Big Nashville in order to raise the burgeoning local festival's national recognition. But primary member and songwriter Matthew Houck certainly isn't a bad man to have at the helm of The End's inaugural NBN '09 show. This year's To Willie, a collection of Willie Nelson covers, is a beautifully executed homage to the Redheaded Stranger, and Houck's original records are trad country-influenced, vulnerable but gritty collections that sprawl epically across vast, barren landscapes. Houck has a knack for poignant delivery, but the Athens, Ga., songsmith doesn't sacrifice character with his fragile, reticent croon. Opening are Luke and the Late Nights and Alberta Cross, as well as Caitlin Rose, another traditionally influenced artist who's moving young country music in a nuanced, intelligent direction.
There's also the Southern Girls Rock 'n' Roll Camp showcase at Grimey's, Nashville Music Awards (followed by Ten out of Tenn) at The Cannery, and don't forget the panels today, too (you'll need a badge for those). Check the schej, and we'll see you out.
