Follow two young singer-songwriters into the Wicked Tickle, an East Nashville bar that serves up cheap beer, open mics, and dreams of big breaks. Bar regulars bravely pursue love and music in the face of addiction, poverty, and haunting pasts. But in Nashville, heartbreak is the only thing they hand out for free. Soaring, soul-piercing ballads and hard-hitting, heart-thumping showstoppers celebrate contemporary country music while pushing the genre beyond expectations — an intimate, gritty, and thrilling take on the world of beers, guitars, sawdust, and sunshine. St. Luke's Theatre has been transformed into The Wicked Tickle, an East Nashville barroom.
