City Cast and Tecovas teamed up last Thursday to celebrate the grand opening of the newest Nashville Tecovas store at The Mall at Green Hills. There was live music, free food and drinks, and, of course, lots of awesome boots. We all had a blast.

The Food
Who could turn down finger foods from Loveless? (Julie Carroll / City Cast)
Loveless Cafe catered the event, and I tempted several of my friends to come with the promise of free Loveless hors d'oeuvres. Who wouldn’t want a bite of pimento cheese while listening to phenomenal local singers? I doubt they had much left.
The Music
The music was my favorite part. (Margaret Kingsbury / City Cast Nashville)
Three outstanding local singer-songwriters performed. I definitely recommend checking out their music at the links below!
Nick Tabron opened the show with a swoon-worthy voice that sounded like melted butter. I particularly loved his original song “Drunk Text,” though his cover of “Ain’t No Sunshine” had many people swaying along.
Singer-songwriter Sam Rochford followed with an edgier pop sound. As a Trekkie, the Randy & The Mormons lead singer won me over with “Anniversary Song,” which had a “Beam Me Up” refrain.
Alex Wong closed the show, and brought many of us to tears with his song commemorating the birth of his child, the first time he’d ever performed it. His vulnerability as a singer and writer moved every listener.

This was only the third time the City Cast Nashville team had gotten to hang out in person, and it was so wonderful to laugh together and meet some of our lovely listeners and readers.
Thanks to all who attended the event, and I hope you come hang out with us at the next City Cast Nashville get-together!
And if you need some new boots, you know what brand we’re gonna recommend: Tecovas.
