“Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!”

English new-wave rockers Kaiser Chiefs (Wikipedia, MySpace) will *not* be stopping into Nashville tonight for a show at City Hall. White Rabbits and Datarock will *not* be opening. SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED!

Don’t fret… you can still catch LeAnn Rimes @ the Schermerhorn or Rascal Flatts @ the Sommet Center!

Geez… I hope John Mayer’s not waiting on Nashville to change, because if he is, it looks like he might have to hang around until September 11.

The good news is that at least he’s already in town! Yeah, John Mayer is bringing his badass guitar chops (and his impressive blogging skills) to The Sommet Center tonight. (Former?) local boy Ben Folds is one of the opening acts, so it should be a good time.  The show starts at 7:00 and some tickets are still available.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers ZZ Top are bringing their iconic blend of Texas blues-rock to Nashville tonight.  The action gets started around 7:00 pm local time and opening acts include The Pretenders and The Stray Cats.  These three touring together should set The Sommet Center on fire (figuratively speaking of course).

Want to show your support for the Preds? Then head down to the Our Team public rally tonight at 6:00 pm at the Sommet (som-may) Center. Besides showing your appreciation for the boys in blue and gold, here are five reasons you should definitely show up tonight:

• Players Ryan Suter and Vern Fiddler will be showing off the team’s new uniforms
• Tennessee’s First Lady Andrea Conte will be one of the featured speakers
• Game used equipment will be on sale at the Predators’ Garage Sale
• Save The Predators will be selling t-shirts (proceeds go towards purchasing season tickets for charitable organizations)
• George Plaster will probably say something like “Hey, this ain’t my first rodeo.”
