When most people think of alternative rock, they don’t think of cellos and violas — though that’s exactly the genre that Hey Marseilles, a band that features a cello and viola (among many other instruments), classifies itself in. The band recently released a new self-titled album on Feb. 5, and their newest tour stopped at Nashville’s own Exit/In on Wednesday night.
Before Hey Marseilles took the stage, indie band Bad Bad Hats warmed up the small crowd. Frontwoman Kerry Alexander revealed that the show was the band’s first time playing in Nashville, and joked that “I hope no one cool or famous is looking at me.” She also confessed that she named her guitar Dolly Parton, to a smattering of applause from the crowd. Bad Bad Hats played for about half an hour, mostly material from their 2015 album “Psychic Reader,” before ceding the stage to Hey Marseilles.
