Past Live Shows
WFMC Jams
WFMC Jams is an online internet radio station committed to bringing you original music as well as your favorite classics from a variety of local artists in the area. The station was founded on June 24, 2012 right after the Third Annual Fam Jam music festival in Manchester, TN. The idea came up as a way to continue to give back to the local and regional songwriters and performers in the area year round by promoting their music.
Nashville, Tennessee hosted one of the largest events in the country to close out the year with the 14th annual "Nashville's Big Bash" hosted at Bicentennial Park. Metro Nashville Police estimated approximately 210,000 at this year's event surpassing the 200,000 record set in 2019. The New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash was aired 7p.m. to 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. central time on the CBS Television Network, and was available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. The five hour celebration featured almost 50 performances from multiple locations including Nashville's Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park.

This year Nashville's Big Bash event featured headliner performances by Brooks and Dunn, Kelsea Ballerini, and Zac Brown Band.
For over three decades, Brooks and Dunn has been well known in Nashville for their numerous hits including "My Maria," "Boot Scootin' Boogie" to name a few.
Recently declared in 2021 as the three most played female artist on country radio and CMT artists of the year, Kelsea Ballerini has constantly delivered hit after hit songs backed by many awards and recognition that has innovated country music.
Holding the record for most consecutive sold out shows at Fenway Park, Southern rock group Zac Brown Band is no stranger to Billboard charts with over six of their albums reaching the top 10 of the Billboard 200.
In addition to the Nashville performances, the CBS broadcast also featured performances from other locations including Little Big Town.
Nashville rang in the new year at midnight with the tradition of the music note drop followed by fireworks. Be sure to follow the Visit Music City official website and social media for future events:

11/25/2022 - 6pm - "In the House" at The Grinder House - The Restless LIVE
Rachel and Emily... a Thanksgiving tradition at GrinderHouse. These sisters are so talented & their harmonies will touch all ages!
The Restless is a female led sister duo composed of sisters Rachal and Emily Schmieder. The Restless make music that is rich with soulful storytelling lyrics, harmony, and conveys a positive message to listeners.
Growing up, sisters Rachal and Emily developed a love for music and performance independently. Rachal performed at school talent shows, and throughout her community in Portland, TN, and learned to play guitar at the age of 14. Emily became a regular performer in school, and played the role of Ariel (Footloose) and Dorothy (The Wizard of Oz) in the community of Franklin, Kentucky’s theater productions.
Harmony became a big part of their creative process, with background singing in church, theater, and choir. The sisters later collaborated as “The Restless,” to accompany each other at shows, and began playing everywhere they could. Prior to graduating high school, The Restless had performed numerous times throughout the Tennessee and Kentucky region. The sisters became regular guests on WSM radio live, local news stations, and were honored to perform the National Education Summit at The Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Restless‘ song “If these walls could talk“ (mixed by Pat Lassiter… mastered by Josh Northwood) has gained over 70,000 online streams, and contains the storytelling songwriting tactic that the duo is known for. The Restless are now based in Nashville, Tennessee. Currently, The Restless are working towards completing a new EP project, containing what they believe to be their best music yet.
Rachal Schmieder is a 2022 Belmont University Alumni were she earned a BA in Music Business. Emily is currently a student at Belmont University majoring in Music Business. She also releases original music with her worship team at Generation Church.
