Here's a good article that looks at some of the hot rock bands coming out of Nashville ...

By now it’s become a cliché to point out that there’s more to Nashville music than country.

BAND: De Novo Dahl

PLAYERS: Joel J. Dahl, vocals, guitar; Serai Zaffiro, omnichord, vocals, percussion; Keith Lowen, bass, vocals; Moose Hungate, keys, vocals; Mixta Huxtable, drums.
