Hip-hop artist G-Eazy performed to a sold out crowd of 1,500+ at Marathon Music Works Saturday night.
The Oakland rapper, who’ll be playing Bonnaroo this summer, made his Nashville debut with an energetic 29-song set. His performance included fan-favorites from 2014’s These Things Happen, including “I Mean It,” “Let’s Get Lost” and “Downtown Love,” and featured a LED screen with visuals ranging from footage of an overzealous orchestra conductor to the 1953 Marlon Brando film The Wild One.
