This week for What Where Wednesday, we talk with Justin Causey of BlackCity Management about “Mo Better Blue Room” at the Blue Room this Friday night. An ode to Spike Lee’s 1990 film Mo Better Blues starring Denzel Washington, the event will feature local hip hop artists Triple Play Squeek, OGTHAGAWD and Saucyy Slim and is headlined by former WNXP Next Up artist Brian Brown. Causey joined me to discuss how the showcase came together and Black City’s goal for the Nashville music scene.
More Nashville highlights for the week of August 23 are listed below including My So Called Band at the Basement East, Nuns N’ Moses at Yazoo in Madison, Way Late Play Date: Weird Science at The Adventure Science Center, and more.
