The tragic tornado that tore through Nashville before dawn on Tuesday morning (March 3) did damage to countless homes, businesses, and because it\u2019s Music City, venues. <\/p>\n

The Basement East at 917 Woodland Street in East Nashville \u2014 nicknamed \u201cBeast\u201d \u2014 sustained severe damage, and in a series of social media posts, they shared that nobody was hurt because the staff took cover in the basement. But because they have no way of knowing how long it will take to rebuild, they are working diligently to relocate shows. <\/p>\n

Hailey Whitters, who was prepping for her release-week, hometown show at the venue on March 10, is now going to be playing<\/a> at Nashville\u2019s Exit\/In. <\/p>\n

Other bars and clubs in the same East Nashville neighborhood that were damaged by the tornado include 3 Crow Bar and The 5 Spot, along with restaurants like Burger Up, the Tree House, Five Points Pizza East, Margot Cafe, and BoomBozz. In Germantown, just north of downtown Nashville, Geist, Jack Brown\u2019s and Red Bicycle suffered damage, and the Farmer\u2019s Market there is now without power. <\/p>\n
