Kable House Presents: The Minks

Kable House Presents is an independent, volunteer-driven initiative that showcases national touring acts in an intimate, listening-room environment. The organizers rent out the space at Central Market about once a month to host the shows. General admission tickets are available to the public, and food and beverages are available for purchase during the shows from featured Central Market vendors.

All tickets are general admission. Doors open at 7 p.m. Many of our guests arrive right at 7 to order food and beverages (we feature Central Market food vendors, and Mudhook Brewing Company sets up a table with beer and wine), select their seats, and socialize. Music begins promptly at 8 p.m.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

The Minks are Nashvilles psychedelic-bloos band, heavy on the rock and roll. Were talking low-down, all the way, purse-lipped, eyes-shut, head-whirling kind of rock and roll. The bands palpable sound has roots in every music fans top tenfrom Lou to Patti to Creedence to Hank. Mixed with raw, jangly instrumentation and soulful saccharine vocals, its as much a throwback as it is an answer to the often overlooked underbelly of Nashvilles rock and roll scene.

Frontwoman Nikki Barber began writing and recording songs in a makeshift, basement studio at a young age. She decided to move to Nashville where Barber created the rock and roll four-piece band, The Minks. With the same innovative garage rock spirit she started out with, Barber, alongside coproducer Joe Bissiri, began recording her debut album, Light & Sweet, at her home in Nashville.

Light & Sweet is about finding the silver lining amongst the madness- a timely call to arms about staying positive in a world that can often times feel bleak. I wrote these songs as I was living on my own for the first time and calling out the bullshit within my life. These songs were outlets for me to heal, which I hope they will do for other people as well, says Barber.

The Minks are here. Let's boogie!
