Jeremy started making trips to town in 2005, co-writing songs like Jamey Johnson’s “Mowin’ Down the Roses.” He says it “always felt like home.” Jay and his brother, Lit guitarist Jeremy Popoff. Popoff, Lit’s lead singer, watched as his lyrics were shouted by seemingly everyone in the room, from the bachelorette parties to the dudes in cowboy hats.Īnd just as their signature song has become a staple on Lower Broadway, Nashville is now home to A.

You know the one: “Please tell me why/ My car is in the front yard/ and I’m sleeping with my clothes on/ I came in through the window last night/ And you’re gone.” The guitarist began the instantly recognizable riff of “My Own Worst Enemy” – the pop-punk song that launched Popoff’s California-based band, Lit, to the top of the rock charts in 1999. That’s when Popoff thought to himself: “Well, probably any minute now.”Īnd then, of course, it happened. They ended up at Kid Rock’s honky tonk, where the cover band was playing songs by Blink 182, Jimmy Eat World and other rock hits of the ‘90s.

Jay Popoff had family visiting him in Nashville, and naturally, they wanted to see the sights on Lower Broadway.
