As any Uber or Lyft driver will tell you, there’s something like 8,000 people moving to Nashville every day. But how many of them are as cool as perpetually dapper and dandy 63-year-old psych-folk legend Robyn Hitchcock? Since relocating to East Nashville late last year to be with his partner, Australian singer-songwriter Emma Swift, Hitchcock has been a regular barfly at local-rock haunts like The 5 Spot, The Basement, Mercy Lounge and Exit/In. These days you can often catch him making surprise appearances on those stages with the likes of Grant-Lee Phillips or The Brian Jonestown Massacre. ADAM GOLD
