I love music – particularly live music. So much so that I would go see just about any band, of any genre, if given the opportunity. So, when my wife’s cousin and journalism student at Lipscomb University, Cory Woodroof, invited me to this weekend’s 3 Doors Down concert at The Woods at Fontanel – I jumped at the chance.

The Raconteurs In Concert
Posted on 10/05/2011
Written by Guest Blogger Terri Gibson
Nashville, The Ryman, The Raconteurs. All three share the commonality of legendary status, and boast of a mix of country, blues and rock. Although The Raconteurs formed in 2005, and have released only two albums (Broken Boy Soldiers and Consolers of the Lonely), their fan base has categorized them into an obscure, yet popular act. The band consists of Jack White (Vocals, guitar, piano), Brendan Benson (Vocals, guitar), Patrick Keeler (Drums), and Jack Lawrence (Bass).

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy In Concert - Nashville, TN
Written by James Downing
The cool thing about being involved with Concert Blast is getting the opportunity to see a lot of bands that I have never seen before. One of those opportunities happened in June. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was playing in Nashville at the Wildhorse Saloon. I have listened to them on occasion but my son, Julian, is a huge fan. He has several of their cds and I hear him listening to them all the time. It was close to his birthday so when I got the chance to attend the show for a review I brought him along too.
