Music City

By cindy sanders

No matter when you plan a trip to Nashville,
you are sure to find a host of events
to make your stay much more memorable!
Ongoing Events

Music lays the foundation for year-round
festivities beginning with weekly shows of
the famed Grand Ole Opry (opry.com)
featuring country music’s hottest headline
acts and legends. From major concert halls
to intimate venues, stars from all genres
love to play Nashville. And it’s never been
easier to find the music. Download the
Nashville Live Music App (visitmusic
city.com/nashvillemusicapp)

for instant access to the city’s
entertainment scene.
Performance groups also fill the city’s
stages with music, dance and theater. The
Tennessee Performing Arts Center
(tpac.org) raises the curtain on the top
touring plays, musicals and concerts
throughout the year with headlining
events such as Wicked and War Horse.
The renowned Nashville Symphony
(nashvillesymphony.org) is equally at ease

taking center stage to perform Stravinsky’s
Firebird, accompanying Roberta Flack
or even playing second fiddle to a July
sky filled with fireworks. Similarly, the
Nashville Ballet (nashvilleballet.com)
dances through the year with a 2014
season choreographed for the entire
family culminating in the holiday
tradition of Nashville’s Nutcracker.
The visual arts are featured
at downtown galleries during the
popular First Saturday Art Crawl
(nashvilledowntown.com/play) and
through permanent and traveling exhibits
at major museums including Cheekwood
(cheekwood.org) and the Frist Center for
the Visual Arts (fristcenter.org).

Summer

Summer in Nashville is all about
sunshine, music and delicious outdoor
dining. Great festivals make it easy to
enjoy all three. The CMA Music Festival
June 5-8 (cmafest.com) kicks off summer
with four days of nonstop music and
access to your favorite country stars,
followed by Bonnaroo (bonnaroo.com)
in nearby Manchester. The week includes
the annual CMT Music Awards, where
fans vote for the winners and can attend
the televised show.
Nashville celebrates the nation’s
birthday with the annual Music City
July 4th “Let Freedom Sing!” event
(visitmusiccity.com/july4th) featuring a
music-filled day capped by the Nashville
Symphony accompanying one of the largest
fireworks shows in the country. This year,
Nashville’s newest stars, Striking Matches
and Ashley Monroe, join the stage leading
up to the headlining act, GRAMMY®nominated Billy Currington.
The Nashville Sounds baseball team
plays all summer long and is celebrating
its last season at legendary Greer Stadium.
Live on the Green in Public Square
Park features free music on August 14,
21 and 28, ending with a three-day music
festival September 4-6.
Opposite: The city’s July 4th celebration is known as
one of the country’s best. Top to bottom: Sambuca
offers great food and live music nightly. Lower Broadway
is ground central for the city’s honky-tonks. Cheekwood
has a wide variety of exhibitions on its annual roster.

Autumn

Fall brings out Music City’s sporty
side. The NFL Tennessee Titans storm
LP Field to vanquish AFC rivals. In spite of
the mild climate, you’ll find a little “icing”
as the NHL Nashville Predators skate
into action in the quest for the Stanley
Cup. And the Vanderbilt Commodores
serve up year-round SEC action. But there’s
no need to sit on the sidelines when you
can lace up your shoes and join the fun of
the Women’s Running Nashville Half
Marathon in September.
Fall anchors a host of other events
including the Home Decorating and
Remodeling Show, Oktoberfest
in Germantown, the African Street
Festival, the wildly popular Music City
Food & Wine Festival and Zac Brown
Band’s Southern Ground Music &
Food Festival.

Winter

Although the weather might turn a
bit cooler, the array of events continues
to heat up. In early November, the
internationally televised CMA Awards,
live from Bridgestone Arena, turn the
spotlight on Music City.
From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day,
Holiday Harmony sets the tone for seasonal
festivities that include opulent decorations,
musical productions and family-themed
activities at places such as the Gaylord
Opryland® Resort & Convention Center
and the Ryman Auditorium. If you love
football, then don’t miss the annual Music
City Bowl at LP Field, where you’ll see
SEC vs. ACC action.
As the year winds down, Nashville rings
in 2015 in style at the Jack Daniel’s® New
Year’s Eve Bash on Broadway, featuring
headline musical performances and the
Music Note Drop®.

THE MUSIC

By Jessica Mozo

For musicians and music-lovers, no city compares to Nashville.

@ | CLICK HERE to see what people are saying about Music City

Rolling Stone named Nashville the Best Music Scene in
the Country, and once you set foot in Music City, we think
you’ll agree.
Nashville neighborhoods each have their own unique
spots to hear live music, the most obvious being the legendary
downtown honky-tonks along Lower Broadway. Tootsies
Orchid Lounge has been beckoning visitors for decades with
its bright purple exterior and reputation as a favorite hangout
among Grand Ole Opry and Music Row moguls. Other
popular downtown honky-tonks include Robert’s Western
World, Silver Dollar Saloon and Bourbon Street Blues
& Boogie Bar. Rock and pop fans can also catch a show at
the iconic Hard Rock Cafe just down the street.
Classical music also takes center stage at downtown’s
elegant Schermerhorn Symphony Center, home of
the Grammy® Award-winning Nashville Symphony. Catch
big-name artists at the Bridgestone Arena or head to
Nashville Municipal Auditorium for one of the many
Clockwise: Bands perform during Tootsies Orchid Lounge’s 53rd birthday
celebration on Lower Broadway. Robert’s Western World is a great place
to kick up your heels to some honky-tonk music. Elton John and many
other headliners are on the roster at Bridgestone Arena downtown.

family-friendly events. While there, check
out the Musicians Hall of Fame and
Museum on the lower level. You also won’t
want to miss a show at the more intimate,
and world-famous, Ryman Auditorium.
In Green Hills, a tiny piece of Nashville
history known as The Bluebird Cafe is
getting quite a bit of attention lately thanks
to its role in ABC’s hit show Nashville.
Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall,
The Bluebird is a 90-seat music venue
where some of Nashville’s best songwriters
and artists perform alongside up-andcomers. A Music City Roots show at The
Factory, featuring a terrific variety of
artists, should also be on your to-do list.
In East Nashville, music fans flock to
The 5 Spot for its Monday-night dance
party and its tendency to indulge in all
music genres, from rock to bluegrass.
In The Gulch area, you’ll find the famous
bluegrass venue known as The Station Inn
and the ever-popular 12th & Porter. Clubs
such as Mercy Lounge, Marathon Music
Works, Exit/In and 3rd & Lindsley are all
popular music hangouts, as well as plenty of
other clubs and venues throughout the city
playing all genres of music.
To hear live music in an outdoor setting,
check out The Woods Amphitheater at
Fontanel located on the former estate of
country music legend Barbara Mandrell,
a short drive from downtown.
Annual festivals are another way to
hear your favorite artists play. Zac Brown
Band’s Southern Ground Music & Food
Festival happens in September, featuring
two days of back-to-back performances by
some of the biggest names in music today.
Also on tap are the Americana Music
Festival and the Music City Food &
Wine Festival, both in September.
And, of course, there’s the highly
anticipated CMA Music Festival,
which floods downtown Nashville in June,
bringing fans from across the globe for
concerts at multiple locations, autograph
signings and the opportunity to meet their
favorite stars.
Top to bottom: B.B. King’s All-Stars perform for the
crowd at B.B. King’s Blues Club & Restaurant. Luke
Bryan entertains the audience at LP Field during the
CMA Music Festival. The Punch Brothers sing during
the Americana Music Festival. Opposite: A sold-out
crowd gathers at The Woods Amphitheater at Fontanel.

Best Music Scene

– Rolling Stone

Nashville continues to receive accolades for its diverse music
scene, but it’s noteworthy that a magazine rooted in rock ’n’ roll
picked the country music capital for the top spot. Nashville is a hot
spot for all genres, laying claim to such diverse entertainers as The
Black Keys, Sheryl Crow, Paramore, Hot Chelle Rae and Kings of
Leon. Condé Nast Traveler said: “At night, you can’t walk two blocks
without coming across some incredible live music.”

Looking for live music?
There’s an app for that.

With about 120 clubs, it’s easy to find the nightly lineup of
entertainment by downloading the Nashville Live Music
App (visitmusiccity.com/nashvillemusicapp) on your
smartphone. Also keep your eyes peeled for the guitar-pick
signs around town indicating a Live Music Venue.

By Jessica Mozo

Nashville overflows with creativity, from the songwriters
in the city’s many nightclubs to the imaginative chefs
concocting new dishes in restaurant kitchens. So, it’s not
surprising that a lot of products and experiences are made
only in Nashville, giving visitors a chance to be inspired by
and even take home a little of Music City’s creative spirit.

Visitors can shop for prints at the legendary Hatch Show Print in the
Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum in downtown Nashville.

Fashion

You don’t have to be a celebrity to
have your jeans tailor-made. At nationally
known imogene + willie, Carrie and Matt
Eddmenson sew perfectly fitting jeans for
men and women at their 12th Avenue South
shop, which is housed in an old service station.
Likewise, Phillip Nappi and his
family make Italian-crafted leather boots,
shoes, belts and bags through their brand,
Peter Nappi, named for Phillip’s Italian
grandfather, a former shoemaker. You
can browse their products in their rustic
Adams Street studio overlooking the
Cumberland River.
Musicians can score high-quality,
handmade leather accessories at JBVO/
Bitchstraps Studio on Second Avenue
downtown. Bitchstraps is best-known
for custom guitar straps, but they also
make belts and holsters for harmonicas,
drumsticks and more.
At DCXV Industries on Porter Road,
you’ll find apparel designed and printed
by hand, including the popular “I Believe
in Nashville” T-shirt line.

Spirits

Speaking of wining and dining, whiskey
fans should check out the spirits made by
Corsair Distillery, best known for its
gold-medal-winning Triple Smoke whiskey.
The Nashville distillery is open for tours and
tastings to allow visitors to see the whiskeymaking process in detail.
Just down the road in Lynchburg, you
can visit the Jack Daniel® Distillery,
where you’ll see the exquisite craftsmanship
of this famous whiskey and hear a story or
two about Mr. Jack himself.
Tennessee Brew Works is a popular
stop among beer-lovers. Born of Nashville’s
thirst for high-quality, well-crafted beer,
Brew Works’ craft beers are served on tap at
more than 20 Nashville restaurants, as well
as in the brewery’s Tennessee TapRoom on
Ewing Avenue.
Top to bottom: Peter Nappi is known for its custommade leather boots and accessories. Crowds gather
in the dining room at The Loveless Cafe. The Patterson
House mixes up creative cocktails in a refurbished house
in Midtown. Opposite, left to right: The popular
“I Believe in Nashville” T-shirts are available at DCXV
Industries in East Nashville. Corsair Distillery offers tours
and a beer taproom where you can enjoy a craft brew.

The Patterson House on Division
Street is the place to enjoy happy hour with
a classy, laid-back vibe. The bar is known for
its extraordinary cocktails served to patrons
at the cozy 30-seat bar.
Whisper Creek® Tennessee
Sipping Cream is a Tennessee whiskeybased liqueur known as “The Sip of the
South.” Whisper Creek® is available in
liquor stores across the country, as well
as right here in Music City, and visitors
can take a tour of the distillery to see how
the sipping cream is made.
If you’re in East Nashville, enjoy one of
more than 50 classic or craft cocktails that
take center stage at Holland House Bar &
Refuge (and then you can stay for dinner).

Culinary

At Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint, meats
and produce from local farmers help
create a mouthwatering menu featuring
slow-cooked pulled pork, beef brisket,
and smoked chicken, turkey, sausage and
bologna. Choose from six different sauces
and homemade sides, and top it off with
a slice of coconut cake or fudge pie.
For a breakfast that’s uniquely Nashville,

head for The Loveless Cafe on Highway
100, which is known for scratch-made biscuits,
country ham and fried chicken. The adjacent
gift shop sells biscuit mix, jams and country
ham to take home.
The Row Kitchen & Pub, inspired
by the “working-class poets of Nashville,”
offers up Southern fare using fresh and
locally sourced ingredients. Dig into some
barbecue, fried catfish or meatloaf with
traditional sides like fried okra, cheddar
grits and braised local greens.
For a more upscale meal, head to Rolf
and Daughters, named one of the Best
New Restaurants in America in 2013 by
Bon Appétit. The popular dining spot is
housed in a historic factory building in
Germantown and serves “modern peasant
food” with Mediterranean, Italian and
Southern influences.
The Sunday Supper at City House is
not to be missed. The ever-changing menu
– designed to be shared – features an array
of tasty offerings, including items from
the Germantown restaurant’s charcuterie
including belly ham, sausage and salami.
Snacks, pizza, and fish and meat selections
also grace the supper menu.

While you’re in the neighborhood, check
out Germantown Cafe, which has become
the “corner restaurant” for many locals.
You’ll discover an eclectic menu and enjoy
a terrific view of the Nashville skyline while
you dine, not to mention you’ll be front and
center for people-watching in this up-andcoming area of the city.
The Farm House, located in SoBro,
offers menu highlights including housecured and smoked meats, homemade
vinegars and house-preserved produce.
Chef Trey Cioccia prides himself on using
ingredients from local purveyors and also
provides some fresh vegetables directly from
his own Nashville garden for a true “farm-tofork” dining experience.
Finally, what would a foodcentric city

be without an organized group of
independent restaurateurs? Nashville
Originals is dedicated to promote
locally owned establishments and their
contributions to our community and
our food culture. For more information
about member restaurants, go to
nashvilleoriginals.com. More detailed
information about Nashville’s locally

in Nashville are the songs crafted by the

creative class. The showcase spot for these

New Restaurants in America for 2013 by Bon Appétit.

Museum in Municipal Auditorium tells
the story of the musicians behind the
music through interactive exhibits and
historic instruments.
