The Mercury Ballroom isn't going to be decked out tailgate fashion but it'll have a distinctively blue collar feel on October 2, when "Bro" country musician and former construction worker Josh Thompson drops by for a show, in support of his second album, Turn It Up, which recently peaked at No. 7 on the US Country charts. Like most Nashville singer/songwriters, Thompson first demonstrated that he could write, scoring the title cut of Jason Michael Carroll's Growing Up Is Getting Old before signing with Columbia Records Nashville. Also like most Nashville artists, he's now on his third label, after two releases. Blaise Streets and Brinley Addington will open. Tickets are $10 / Balcony $15.
