(B-R-FIVE-FOUR-NINE) is the latest band that everyone is saying will save Nashville from overproduced mediocrity. BR5-49 got its' start playing in a boot store on a makeshift stage...tearing through the kind of honkey tonk that would make Ernest Tubb proud. The band is also credited with helping to revive a rundown neighborhood of Nashville. Now the band is up for a Grammy for Best Performance by a Country Duo or Group. Steve Lickteig
