During most of the Nashville Sounds’ home games at First Horizon Park, you can hear some of the finest keyboardists in Music City providing quick-witted musical commentary from the organ booth. Micah Hulscher, who you’ve seen playing with Margo Price and his own instrumental trio Greasy Neale, shares the job with Matt Rowland, a top session and touring player who also co-founded the much-loved holiday show The Spaceship of the Imagination. Over the span of a couple innings, I heard Hulscher fire off excerpts from The Kinks (“Tired of Waiting for You” for a slow-working opposing pitcher) and Stevie Wonder (“Too High,” for a reliever struggling to find the strike zone) among others. As with any farm team, the Sounds’ roster changes significantly from year to year. Here’s hoping they keep Hulscher and Rowland on for next season — and give them a raise.
