NBS Live at Turk's featuring April Kry and Raquel Cole
April Kry is a popular member of NBS's artist lineup. As a mother and God-follower, her single, I Feel at Home, has the most streams of any NBS artist. In 2022, she confronted motherhood, industry changes and COVID to release her critically acclaimed soulful album, Krysalis. Raquel Cole is a singer songwriter from British Columbia and part of the popular Nashville Trio, The Woods. Compelled to always be creating she continues to write and record but her heart belongs on the road meeting her fans in person. Raquel lives for sharing her songs from stage and the phenomenal experience that music can give. They will be joined as always by Sean 'Turk' McNamara and Hall of Famer, Joe Spivey. Special guests may come out of the woods to send you their love - so get your tickets early!
NBS Presents Bowen*Young, Ryan Kinder, Cale Dodds and Justin Halpin at The Listening Room
The incredible Bowen*Young (Clare Bowen of Nashville series fame and Brandon Young, musician, actor and collaborator) have put an amazing round together. Their friends Cale Dodds, Justin Halpin and Ryan Kinder round out four headliners in one show.
We got to know Clare and Brandon when they played our first AMERICANAFEST event at Carter Studios in 2024. Bowen*Young later played a sold out NBS Live show at Turk’s Lounge and in 2025, they joined NBS as Artist Advisors. Their music is spellbinding and melodic, just as you would expect.
We first met Ryan Kinder when we moved to Nashville and have been interested in his music for a while now. He has more Spotify streams than just about anybody we know. Ryan rarely plays out, but when he does, hold on.
Justin Halpin has an incredible catalog of film and TV placements and has carved out a really unique niche for himself in Nashville with a worldwide publishing deal and a ton of song credits.
Cale Dodds is another Georgia turned Nashville phenom with number ones and cuts with big names. He was honored by Rolling Stone, CMAs and others as an ‘artist to watch’ and ‘one of the best shows to see’. He also has his share of film and TV placements.
By the way, Cale and Justin are First Time Thieves. We’ll let them explain.
This is our second NBS show at The Listening Room and is currently outselling almost all other shows on their website - so get your tickets early so you don’t miss out!
NBS presents Brett Sheroky at 3rd & Lindsley
Brett Sheroky is bringing his full band with suprise special guests back to 3rd & Lindsley on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Brett is set to release his amazing debut album to the public in April and this will be his album release celebration - a long time coming from being signed at Sea Gayle music, to heart surgery, to several single releases and now his debut album.
This also marks a very important day for NBS founders and patrons, Jeff and Shari Harjo, celebrate our retirement from our days jobs, which gives us more time to focus on our family and friends, and of course Nashville Basement Stage!
We would be honored if you would come join us!
