New Music Monday - AutoVaughn
Monday, January 21st, 2008Nashville has an extremely high density of talented musicians, and believe it or not, they don’t all play country music. Since my move to Tennessee 5 1/2 years ago, I have been to countless pop and rock concerts, and witnessed some very impressive musicianship. I have chosen to dedicate my post each Monday to introducing the world (and more importantly, my friends and family outside of the Nashville area) to new (and hopefully well received) music from Nashville and other thriving local music scenes. My goal is not to review these artists, but rather introduce you to them.
Week of January 21st
AutoVaughn, one of the flagship local rock bands in Nashville, released Space in March of 2006, a 10-song album featuring catchy, Killers-like songs including One More Time, On The Radio, and Rock Your Body. Six-hundred people attended their sell-out CD release show at Mercy Lounge, one of the the premier local venues in Nashville. AV followed up this release with relentless touring across the country, putting them on the map nationally, earning them college radio airplay, shows with national artists including Rooney, and ultimately a major-label record deal with Epic Records late in 2007.
