NASHVILLE ELECTRIC - Tuesday, April 22nd @ 6PM Nashville is a town of musicians of all stripes and many talents, some of whom simply go where the music takes them, stubbornly rejecting the notion they must belong to a single genre. One fine spring day in 2013 this led four well known musicians and one budding noisemaker, all fierce proponents of improv, to assemble and record the debut album of Nashville Electric. The lineup of Nashville Electric boasts two classically trained musicians with worldwide concert experience: electric violinist Tracy Silverman and piano virtuoso Thollem McDonas; two Nashville musicians more commonly associated conventional rock bands: Ryan Norris (Lambchop, Hands Off Cuba, Coupler) and singer/songwriter/producer Ed Pettersen; and one talented experimental musician they ran into at the Big Ears Festival: Dylan Simon (James Thoth, Wymond Miles, Jandek). The music of Nashville Electric is based on multiple synthesizers and keyboards with flawless interplay from the electric violin and numerous guitar effects. The delicacy and finesse of the performances are astonishing and are fully-captured on the recording which will be for sale at Grimeys during this performance.
