Click on the "Calendar" link at Uglymugsnashville.com to find out who is playing.  And as always we keep the current month's artists in our top friends section of Myspace so you can hear a sample of their music.

We're having our first jazz night on Thursday, May 28 at 6:00pm.  Our leadoff group is the Tyler Summers Collective featuring Trumpeter Phil Lassiter.  We hope to make this a regular event.  Contact us for more information.

It's back by popular demand. Americana Wednesday will kick back off on January 7. AW's will be the first Wednesday of every month and will be hosted by the popular Luke Amelang and accompanied by new guests of Luke each month. For a sneak preview of Luke's music, you can always find him in our top friends. We look forward to seeing you back at Americana Wednesdays!

If you are interested in playing at Ugly Mugs, email our booking manager Tyrus Morgan at music@uglymugsnashville.com. Please include your MySpace page or a digital recording of your music.

Some who read this may know that we have live music nearly every Saturday night at Ugly Mugs. What you may not know is how important it can be for someone if you come enjoy a free show. This Saturday night, our friend Tyrus Morgan will be playing a 45 minute set at 6pm. Tyrus is the person that has been doing to the artist booking for us, working only for a free cup of coffee once a week. In addition to being a great friend, songwriter and artist, Tyrus and his wife Casey are doing something that makes one of the greatest impacts in the world. They are adopting a little girl from Ethiopia. Courtney and I have for a while been thinking about how we could possibly help our friends with the vast expense of bringing their little girl home. So, this Saturday we are going to team up with our customers and are going to donate 10% of our sales for the entire day to their adoption fund to try and bring little "M" home. (They know who their daughter will be but cannot share pictures or her name until she is legally theirs, so they are calling her "M" for now.) So we are asking you to support Tyrus, Casey and M by visiting us on Saturday. Ten percent of the money you spend will make the biggest difference in a little girl's life. And following Tyrus' set at 6pm, stick around for the Mosaic Writers in the Round hosted by James Tealy, feature Dewveall and Sarin at 7pm. You can follow the Morgan family journey here. Be Well...Jarod, Courtney and Liam.

Beginning on October 8, you will be able to catch the weekly Wednesday night acoustic duo of Luke Amelang and Chet O'Keefe. A blend of great songwriting, singing and guitar playing wrapped up in the folk/bluegrass/americana influences. For a preview of their music, they are in our top friends. Cheers!

You will always be able to find our next performing artists as our top friends so you can check out their sounds. So far music has been going great. Let us know if there is anyone we need to have out to perform.
