Yup - I interviewed three bands playing the same showcase at Next Big Nashville - and I can't help it, because like I said a minute ago, it's one of the best bill's of the festival. Tomorrow night's (Thursday) show at the Rutledge will kick off at 8 p.m. with The Hannah Barbarians, another band that you've probably noticed making the rounds around town lately. But an entertaining name (I swear, I smile every time I see it) isn't all this band has to offer. Let's get to know them.
"Black Hand"
"Major Bad"
