This Wednesday is the first day of the Americana Music Festival and Conference, which means that the streets are soon to be overrun by yet more pickers, players, and professionals all championing the music that they have dedicated their lives to. It is sure to be a dynamic five days that will leave the Americana community stronger than ever. So what better opportunity to give convention the finger and pack it over to The End for a hip hop show?
Spoken Nerd is comprised of Nathan Conrad and a shifting cast of friends. The Nashville poet-cum-rapper has 5 albums of witty, honest and catchy craft under his belt since his beginnings in 2002. Those questioning his genius will be referred to the video “Stripes on my Shirt.” Conrad, along with Astronautalis and kidDEAD will be providing asylum from the sounds of America’s heartland this Wednesday evening beginning at 9 pm at The End. -Terra James-Jura
