Our pick
Blue Monday with The Tiger Beats
Monday, September 7, 2026 · 6:00 PM · The 5 Spot, East Nashville
The Read
The Tiger Beats run the room, and the format is blues in the working sense — shuffles, slow burners, room for whoever sits in. It starts at six, which means it is fully underway while most of the city is still in traffic. The band plays like the point is to be playing, not to be seen. The 5 Spot on a Monday is a neighborhood bar doing what neighborhood bars are for. Cheap drinks, low stakes, a floor that fills with people who came to dance rather than watch. Nothing about it requires planning. That is precisely why it has survived as long as it has.
