Music Festival? I am so there.

I like going to concerts, but lately I have been too old too grown-up too busy to go to many.

Well, it looks like I have my chance to catch up on everything I have missed with Next Big Nashville.

NBN is a 5-day event with over 130 bands, with a heavy emphasis on local bands and labels.
It will take place September 5 through 9, with a kick off event on the 5th featuring locally produced documentaries.

For the low, low price of $30, you can get a wristband that will get you into all of the events. Here are some of my highlights based on the schedule so far:

Judd & Maggie
The Becoming
AutoVaughn
Sam & Ruby
Cortney Tidwell
Jeremy Lister
Venus Hum (Welcome back to Nashvegas, Annette!!!)
Sam Ashworth
Gabe Dixon Band

I am quite familiar with some of these artists, but many of them I have never heard and want to see based on the buzz surrounding them.

So, next question: can somebody out there get me a VIP-pass? One for Paul, too.
