Concert by Judah & The Lion, with Breakfield and Band of Silver, at The Pinnacle in Nashville.
Judah & The Lion play The Pinnacle on Friday, November 13, with Breakfield and Band of Silver opening. It's a Nashville band playing in Nashville, and they're bringing two other acts along for the bill.
If you're not familiar with them, they're a hard group to pin to one sound. Their music pulls from alt-rock and rock, but it also leans into folk, alternative, and folk-hop. That mix is a good way to describe what you'll hear: the rock side brings the energy, the folk keeps it grounded, and the folk-hop adds a rhythmic edge that sets them apart from a standard indie act. It's a wide reach, and they tend to pull from all of it in a single set.
At the front are Judah Akers on guitar and lead vocals and Brian Macdonald on mandolin and vocals. Having the mandolin up front is a big part of why they don't sound like every other rock band in town; it gives the folk side of their sound a distinct, bright presence that cuts through the louder moments. With Akers on guitar and Macdonald on mandolin, you get a good sense of the two directions they work between—the electric and the acoustic.
