Anderson East
Anderson East and Aaron Raitiere, both artists with strong Murfreesboro connections, join Wilder Woods in the cave on Friday, Sept. 30.
The show at The Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee, features East touring in support of his Maybe We Never Die release. East worked the Murfreesboro music scene heavily in the late ’00s–performing under his given name of Mike Anderson, sometimes with his deputies—before his vintage Alabama soul sound took off on the national stage.
MTSU grad and Grammy winner Aaron Raitiere has some Murfreesboro music history as well. Rolling Stone recently said Raitiere’s songs display both righteous indignation and winking desire and that he “excels at writing the kind of country songs that blend a biting sense of humor with a little something extra,” likening his style to the tradition of John Prine and wordplay master Roger Miller.
NEEDTOBREATHE frontman Bear Rinehart aims to bring some “swagger and sophistication” to his Wilder Woods project, blending soul, R&B and alt-pop influences.
Anderson East in The Caverns with Wilder Woods and Aaron Raitiere kicks off at 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30. General admission tickets start at $49.50. Find them at thecaverns.com.
