The Useful Shortlist
The East Room is the East Nashville anchor tonight, with public listings for Volunteer Department, The Bakery Rat, and Josh Halper at 8 p.m.
The nearby Basement listings add Van Bellman with Abigail Hope at 7 p.m. and The Strains with The Glumlots and Gross Motor at 9 p.m. For readers staying strictly east of the river, the East Room is the cleanest pick.
The practical note: Monday listings can move quietly, so check the ticketing page before you build your whole personality around the plan.
