Thousands of music lovers including myself headed to the white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama last weekend for the Hangout Music Festival that stretched over four days and included performances from Stevie Wonder, Tom Petty, Kings of Leon and many more.
Nashville was well represented at the festival with several local bands on the lineup. In addition to KOL, fans were treated to sets from Space Capone, Chancellor Warhol, The Weeks, Delta Rae, Luella and the Sun, The Kingston Springs, The Wild Feathers, Wild Cub, Wick-It The Instigator, St. Paul and the Broken Bones and my personal favorite, Moon Taxi.
I caught up with Moon Taxi bassist Tommy Putnam to get his thoughts on breaking through at Bonnaroo 2012, why Hangout is his favorite festival to play and what’s next for the band.

MARKUS SCHULZ & M MACHINE AT ANTHEM
By Joseph Howard
Nashville’s newest upscale venue, Anthem, looked and sounded great Wednesday night as eager ravers packed out the newly renovated three-tier space — previously Mai — to see performances from the San Francisco electro-trio the M Machine, and the Miami-based Markus Schulz, one of the world’s leading trance DJs.
Those present were treated to an intricate stage set up, complete with an elevated platform, two giant LED screens, a full light rack and the booming sounds of Anthem’s detailed sound system.
If this is any indication of things to come, Nashville’s nightlife is about to get a whole lot better!
