March 20th wasn’t just a Wednesday—it was a full-blown celebration of Nashville’s independent music scene as Nashville Rocks Night returned for its second round at the intimate yet electric Sip and Sound venue inside the Sheraton Nashville Brentwood. If the first Nashville Rocks Night was the spark, the second Nashville Rocks Night was the explosion, proving once again that this series is fast becoming a must-see event for lovers of authentic, homegrown indie music.

Curated to spotlight raw, unfiltered talent straight from Music City’s thriving underground, Nashville Rocks Night 2 delivered a lineup that raised the bar. From heart-pounding originals to crowd-pleasing covers, the artists didn’t just perform—they connected. They reminded us all why Nashville isn’t just country music central; it’s the beating heart of Southern sound in all its forms.

Rocknpod provided the venue and the introduction. The Nashville Fairgrounds provided the location and Nashville Rocks first interview of the day was none other than Robert Fleischman of early Journey fame. Having written and performed songs like “Wheel In The Sky” and “Anytime,” Robert was part of the early days of Journey. He ultimately provided the building blocks that formed the band and it’s structure. I was excited to find out that RocknPod approved me to interview him and you get to see the results of that interview below. What would you have asked him if it were you with that microphone?

THE EAST ROOM – NASHVILLE, TN JANUARY 4TH, 2025

Nashville rock artists Greylee, The Lifeline, and GRAVA plan to present an extravagant night of music at Nashville’s “The East Room” on January 4th, 2025. These three young artists have proven by consistently drawing more fans to their events that this will be a night of music that will stack up to the high standards of music city.

First on this bill is “Greylee.” Greylee literally grew up in the studio. She wrote and recorded her first song at age 3, kickstarting her love for the art of musical storytelling. She honed her skills on the theater stage, performing in over 25 productions. Since her debut single in 2020, she has continued to write and record numerous songs, including the Unsecret / Sam Tinnesz collaboration “I’m Coming for It”, which has received over 3.5M streams on Spotify. She has landed multiple tv and streaming syncs and was recently featured on Armin van Buuren’s latest album. Now 20, she’s excited for the world to hear her new album, out now. She’s also eager to share the music live wherever possible with her newly formed band.

In the middle position of the night, we have “The Lifeline.” The Lifeline is a rock n’ roll band originating from New Jersey and now based in Nashville, Tennessee. Drummer Andy Baker and
Guitarist / Vocalist Nick Amling make the loud louder. Their music blends various genres like the Blues, Hard Rock, Alternative Rock, and Classic Rock with influences from artists such as The Foo Fighters, Jack White, and Nirvana. Over the past two years, this powerful duo has been making a name for themselves in Nashville’s rock scene with their eclectic and high energy rock shows that keep their very loyal audience coming back for more.

Last but not least, “GRAVA.” Nashville-based alt-pop singer & actress GRAVA is a force to be reckoned with. Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, she has traveled across North America to pursue her mission of blending timeless melodies with vivid storytelling & brutal honesty. Drawing inspiration from artists like Fiona Apple, Billie Eilish, & Olivia Rodrigo among others, GRAVA’s sonic versatility is unmatched, covering a wide variety of genres from synthwave to hard rock & everything in between. GRAVA is the epitome of everything modern music should be: Bold, Unafraid, Transcendent, Emotionally Gripping, & Emblematic of Universal Truth.

This event at the East Room is one that is not to be missed. Make sure to make it out for a night
of professional, original, Nashville music that comes from the soul.
