In a love letter (in the form of a story-telling podcast) to both Elliott Smith and independent music venues, one singer-songwriter enlists the help of friends and complete strangers to help him remember a series of three Elliott Smith concerts he attended, including the infamous "power outage" show at 328 Performance Hall in Nashville, Tn.

Brandon and Ryan Stone discuss how they discovered Elliott Smith and the influence his music had on them.

Brandon and Ryan turn their friend Thomas into a fan, and finally get to see Elliott perform in their home state. Thomas helps them remember everything. Ryan procures a guitar pick, Brandon the set list for the show, and Thomas an autograph. Exit/In Nashville, Tn.
