Tin Pan South (Tenille Townes/Keelan Donavan/Kate York/Daniel Tashian) @ City Winery Lounge / Nashville TN / March 26, 2019

I doubt that anyone knows who coined the term “Nashville guitar pull,” but the concept of songwriters getting together and taking turns showing off their wares has been going on in Music City longer than hot chicken. Now an established concert format, it’s a treasured part of Nashville’s musical identity with several rooms featuring “writers […]

The Silver Seas @ The Basement East / Nashville TN / October 1, 2018

It always seems like it’s been way too long since the last show by The Silver Seas. In this instance, it has been about two years. In the meantime, the Seas lead singer and songwriter, Daniel Tashian, has scored a big smash with his production, playing and writing on the recent record by Kacey Musgraves. […]

11 Questions to a Nashville Musician: Daniel Tashian

I am forever thankful for the day in 2006 when I saw The Bees play an in-store at Grimey’s. Ever since then, I have been an uber-fan of this band led by singer-songwriter Daniel Tashian. The band has since moved ahead one letter in the alphabet changing its name to The Silver Seas to avoid […]

The Silver Seas @ The Basement / Nashville TN / September 28, 2016

Well, for no good reason, the band got back together when someone in the band made […]

The Silver Seas @ The Basement / Nashville TN / August 31, 2013

Great pop music is my true passion.   I have previously written about my love for one of its best proponents, The Silver Seas. This Nashville-based band consistently puts out great records and always plays a solid live show. Tonight’s long overdue return to The Basement would mark the 16th time I have seen them perform. […]

TIN PAN SOUTH—JILL ANDREWS, MINDY SMITH, DANIEL TASHIAN & KATE YORK / The Listening Room Cafe / Nashville, TN / April 3, 2013

Tin Pan South is a somewhat under-the-radar Nashville songwriter festival now in its 21st year. Meant to showcase the writers behind the hits “past, present and future,” this event seems to bring more tourists to town than attract locals. The Listening Room, one of this year’s host venues, is a “wannabe” Bluebird, now in its […]

Noted British disc jockey Danny Baker and I share something in common:  We both claim Nashville’s Silver Seas to be our favorite band. Their sophisticated and melodic pop songs never fail to satisfy and they are an exciting live act. Here is a recent announcement on their Facebook page: We can finally announce that the […]
