It’s not a real Stanley Cup, but it will do for a town that loves music as much as Nashville. Shane Chisholm, an Americana bass player who moved here recently from Canada, has been building upright basses where the body is a homemade replica of the NHL Stanley Cup. The NHL, it turned out, wasn’t happy about it.
Chisholm is playing his upright bass in bars on Lower Broadway during the Stanley Cup finals. We talked to him inside WPLN’s studios the day of Game 2.
