"THE BEST CRITICS' PICKS CONCERT EVER!"
On Friday, November 3, 2006, the Nashville Scene Music Festival 2 (NSMF2) will be held at the historic Belcourt Theatre in the vibrant community of Hillsboro Village. The event, which kicks-off at 4:30pm (gates open at 4 pm), will feature some of the best acts of Nashville's dynamic indie rock scene.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) and The Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation will be onsite taking donations and sharing information about their worthy causes.
Building upon the success of last years' inaugural NSMF concert, organizers are well on their way to building a brand to become one of the Tennessee's premiere music festivals. In addition to the music, the night will include a light-hearted awards show to honor Nashville's local bands and professionals whose jobs center around the music industry – those behind the scenes who never get the applause. Awards include "Homecoming King & Queen," "Best in the West," "Go East Young Band," "Rock 'N' Roll Bartender," and more. Voting begins on September 28 at www.nashvillescene.com
