Mick Hambly

Mick Hambly plays the Hard Rock Cafe on Saturday, October 17, in a midday session that puts him on stage from 12 PM to 3 PM. It's a duo set, so you'll have two people on stage rather than a full band, which changes the whole feel of the room. Instead of a big evening show, this one runs through the afternoon, starting at noon and wrapping up by 3 PM.

Having a duo on stage means the music is stripped back. With just two of them, the focus stays on the songs and the playing rather than a wall of sound. It's the kind of set that works as well if you're sitting and listening as it does if you're just drifting in and out over a few hours. Since it's a midday slot, you can catch the whole thing and still have your entire evening open.

The Hard Rock Cafe is right in the middle of Nashville, so it's an easy spot to get to without having to trek across town. If you're already downtown on a Saturday, it's a simple stop. The session runs from 12 PM to 3 PM on October 17, and the bill is just Mick Hambly as a duo.
