Ear Hustle Live!

What’s Happening?

Ear Hustle launched in 2017 as the first podcast created and produced in prison — featuring stories of the daily realities of life inside California’s San Quentin State Prison, shared by those living it. Hosts Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods launched the podcast when Earlonne was incarcerated at San Quentin. In 2018, Earlonne's sentence was commuted and he was released. Just last year, he received a pardon. 

Ear Hustle has expanded to include voices and stories from other prisons, including two women’s prisons, as well as stories about what it’s like to get out and start over again on the outside. Ear Hustle stories are raw, often hilarious, and rarely what you’d expect to hear on a show about prison life. 

In 2020, Ear Hustle was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in audio reporting — the first time the category was recognized — for bringing audiences “a consistently surprising and beautifully crafted series on life behind bars.” In 2021, Ear Hustle received an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award for “shattering the myths about serving time and what happens afterwards.” In 2024, Ear Hustle won the Best Audio Documentary award from the International Documentary Association.

More about The Basement East
Opened in April 2015, The Basement East has a reputation for must-see shows in Nashville. ‘The Beast’ has played host to nationally touring acts including Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, KRS-One, Beck, Luke Combs, Brandi Carlile, Cage the Elephant, Alice Cooper, Old Dominion, Yo La Tengo, Project Pat, Marcus King, Maren Morris, Halestorm, Wet Leg, Sierra Ferrell and many more. The venue’s reputation for a multitude of quality shows can be attributed to owners Mike Grimes and Dave Brown’s relationships in the Nashville music scene dating back to the 1990’s. With their intrinsic desire to cultivate the local music scene, it was only natural that they would eventually scale up from the original Basement on 8th Ave to create the next step for artists that have “graduated” the smaller club. “Get happier f*ckers,” is our motto, and from the beginning, it’s been our mission to use our rock ’n’ roll spirit to bring the Nashville community together through a common love for live music. We’ve rebuilt and recovered after the 2020 tornado and the pandemic. We are so incredibly grateful to host your favorite artists, to be a part of an ever growing music scene here in Nashville, and to do what we love to do! Cheers!
