All-Hits Sound System is your all-access pass to a night of rock in all its forms, played the way it was meant to be heard: on genuine vinyl.
Join us as DJ Simple Mike digs deep into his remarkable record collection, spinning everything from college rock and post-punk to power pop, new wave, shoegaze, glam, garage, and way beyond. Expect left turns, deep cuts, familiar favorites, and plenty of “what is this and why do I love it?” moments.
From synthpop shimmer to noise rock chaos (and a whole lot in between), this is a genre-hopping ride through the wild, weird, and wonderful world of rock.
Come hang, grab a drink, and let the records do the talking.
A night of electric jazz and forward motion.
Pushback draws from the worlds of fusion, funk, and improvisation, less interested in genre than momentum.
We'll keep the lights low and let the band do the rest.
Your algorithm could never.
Every Monday, The Weekly Spin hands the aux to the Vinyl Tap staff for an evening of new releases and favorite reissues spinning on wax. Come hang, sip on drink specials, and discover records that deserve a little more time in your ears and on your shelf. You might walk out with a new favorite.

Hosted by DJ Claire and inspired by her WXNA radio show, Mostly Local is a love letter to the music being made around us.

Come hear what's happening close to home.
Join us at Vinyl Tap for a Like You Mean It takeover: an all-night DJ night highlighting the artists, selectors, and community behind Like You Mean It Records. Expect a genre-spanning night of music featuring LYMI artists and influences.
Rooted in a DIY spirit and a deep love of records, this DJ night is part dance floor and part family reunion. Come catch what the label’s been building - new sounds, familiar faces, and a vibe that carries from start to finish.
Ever wanted to try your hand at writing a bro country hit without having to buy a truck or a pair of cut-off jeans? Now’s your chance.
The Bro Country Card Game is a party game where players compete to write the funniest lyrics imaginable. Each round pulls from real bro country hits (top-ten chart songs from 2008–2018), and players choose words to fill in the blanks to create the most ridiculous, clever, or chaotic version possible. Think Mad Libs meets Jackbox Party Pack, with a host who may or may not know what they’re doing keeping things moving.
This special happy hour is your chance to beta test the upcoming video game version, hang out, grab a drink, and help shape the final product with your feedback. No experience necessary, just a good sense of humor and a willingness to get a little silly. 🎮🍻
Come play, vote, laugh, and see if you have what it takes to write the next (unintentionally hilarious) bro country anthem.
Guitarist Ben Rice brings his long-running jazz trio back to Vinyl Tap, joined by Anson Hohne and Patrick Atwater. The three have been playing together for nearly a decade, building the kind of chemistry that only comes from years of listening closely and playing often.
Expect a relaxed but deeply musical night of jazz, with swinging standards, thoughtful arrangements, and plenty of room for conversation between the instruments. This is jazz meant to be felt as much as heard. Settle in, grab a drink, and let the trio do what they do best.
WXNA DJ Night is a monthly Vinyl Tap tradition, happening the last Friday of every month.
Each month, a rotating lineup of DJs from WXNA 101.5 FM takes over the turntables, digging deep and spinning across genres with the care, curiosity, and independence the station is known for. No algorithms. Just real people, real records, and real taste.
A portion of proceeds from the night is donated directly to WXNA, helping support Nashville’s community radio and the voices that keep it thriving.
Come hang, discover something new, and support local radio!
Black eyeliner, flickering screens, and a bassline you feel in your ribs. In Between Days returns to Vinyl Tap like a transmission from another era, with Joe Lekkas of Palm Ghosts dialing in a full-spectrum alternative video night that leans dark, dreamy, and a little dangerous. New Wave, post-punk, shoegaze, goth, blog rock, indie sleaze. It’s all in there, stitched together from the early 80s through the mid-2000s.
Part dance floor, part late-night screening, all atmosphere. Drift into it or give in completely. Expect icy synths, chorus-drenched guitars, shadowy visuals, and those perfect moments where the room locks in and nobody wants to break the spell.
Come dressed for the mood or don’t. Just show up and let it pull you under.
This is one of those nights where you just show up, find your spot, and let the music unfold. If you know, you know. Expect intimate performances, unexpected collaborations, and a few unforgettable moments. Come see who’s playing, sip something strong, and soak it all in.

There's a reason so many people have been talking about Willow Avalon lately.
On Pink Pocket Pistol, she draws from country music's rich storytelling tradition while bringing a perspective that's entirely her own: funny, fearless, a little unruly, and impossible to fake. These are songs filled with sharp turns, memorable characters, and the kind of details that make you lean in a little closer.
We're thrilled to welcome Willow to Vinyl Tap for a special in-store performance and signing. Join us for an intimate set, pick up a copy of the new record, and experience one of country music's most exciting new voices up close.
The performance is free to attend, but a CD or vinyl purchase of Pink Pocket Pistol is required for entry and includes access to the performance and signing.
Sofia Goodman Jazz Jam is now a monthly gathering at Vinyl Tap—an open, high-vibe jazz jam led by one of Nashville’s most respected bandleaders.
Drummer, composer, and educator Sofia Goodman sets the tone alongside a stellar house trio, creating a supportive space for musicians to play, listen, and connect. Jazz standards are encouraged, as the jam is focused on musicians who want to explore this rich tradition that has shaped music and culture for over a century. The focus is on deep listening, musical curiosity, and good energy all around. Original charts can be included with prior notice. Email thesofiagoodmangroup@gmail.com if this appeals to you.
This jam is intentionally welcoming and community-driven, with a strong encouragement for women and underrepresented players to take the bandstand.

Come to play, come to listen, come to hang.

Join Nashville’s Northern Soul Club!
Northern Soul Club is all about the music, the movement, and the magic. Born in Northern England in the late 1960s, Northern Soul celebrated rare, fast-tempo American soul records, legendary dance moves, and a culture of devotion that turned club nights into all-night experiences. Today, the passion lives on, with a modern revival keeping the grooves alive and the dance floors packed.

Expect deep musicianship, surprise moments, and the kind of loose magic that only happens when masters play for the love of it.
Jim Hoke is one of Nashville’s true musical anomalies: a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger whose credits span Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Kacey Musgraves, Ed Sheeran, Burt Bacharach, The Beach Boys, and countless more. In a town full of specialists, Jim somehow plays everything—and plays it like it’s the only thing he does.

Hello Honky Tonk is a reminder that we’re in Nashville, not on Broadway.
Nashville-based DJ duo Hello Honky Tonk spins all-vinyl sets of the real stuff. Traditional country, honky tonk, and deep cuts with dust on the grooves and stories in the songs. No pop-country, no tourist playlists, no shiny boots required.
If the room starts to move, they can point you in the right direction. If not, grab a spot, crack a beer from Vinyl Tap’s award-winning beer selection, and let the records do the talking.

As part of their 2026 Visiting Writers Series, the Porch is thrilled to welcome Beth Ann Fennelly, an award-winning teacher from The University of Mississippi and author of seven books, including The Irish Goodbye, published this spring by W.W. Norton. Fennelly was the Poet Laureate of Mississipp from 2016 - 2021 and has received grants from the N.E.A., the United States Artists, the Academy of American Poets, and a Fulbright to Brazil. Her books include three poetry collections: Open House, Tender Hooks, and Unmentionables, and a book of nonfiction, Great with Child. A novel she co-authored with her husband, Tom Franklin, called The Tilted World, was published by HarperCollins. Her sixth book, Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs, was named an Atlanta Journal Constitution Best Book, a Goodreaders Favorite for 2017, and the winner of the Housatonic Book Prize. Of The Irish Goodbye, Jamie Quatro (also appearing our Visiting Writers Series this spring) says, “This book knocked me sideways. I tore through it in a day and I’m still trying to catch my breath. . . . I’ve long been a fan of Beth Ann Fennelly’s work, but The Irish Goodbye is her best book yet.”
Fennelly will read and perform with her good friend, the singer-songwriter Claire Holley, who was born and raised in the American South and currently resides in Los Angeles. Holley has released twelve albums and has written music for theater productions, short and feature length films, and a ballet under the direction of David Keary. No Depression called Time in the Middle “one of 2015’s finest albums” and her powdercoat ep with Kristin Mooney won the 2014 MIAL “Best in Popular Music.” Her latest record is Where I Lived.

Our programs provide free artist development resources (including free recording sessions) to help musicians professionally level up their artistry, grow their fanbases, and build their careers. We also advocate utilizing the power of music for cultural enrichment, wellness, and community connection.
WXNA DJ Night is a monthly Vinyl Tap tradition, happening the last Friday of every month.
Each month, a rotating lineup of DJs from WXNA 101.5 FM takes over the turntables, digging deep and spinning across genres with the care, curiosity, and independence the station is known for. No algorithms. Just real people, real records, and real taste.
A portion of proceeds from the night is donated directly to WXNA, helping support Nashville’s community radio and the voices that keep it thriving.
Come hang, discover something new, and support local radio!
