We like this trend of businesses celebrating birthdays by giving us, the patrons, free gifts. The Mercy Lounge is celebrating their seventh anniversary with a week-long string of free shows, beginning this Saturday and continuing through next Saturday. Did we mention that it’s free? The lineup just gets better and better as the days go on – It’s like a mini-Next Big Nashville, only without the hassle of venue-hopping.
