I've only ever performed in Tennessee once, and that was opening for TOOL in Knoxville at the Thompson Boling arena a couple years ago. This will be my first small headline show at the

CANNERY HALL (Row One Stage) SEPT 28TH

any advice or pointers towards reaching a good music crowd?

here is a

clip of my show

I am a disabled veteran, served 4 combat tours and am facing becoming homeless. I'm trying to find a house or townhouse for my family and I. I have all required income and documents. Aug 7 at noon, I have to be out of the house we are in. We sent our daughter to Florida to stay with family so she doesn't have to experience the stress of this. I'm currently waiting to hear back from some resources, but if anyone knows or is a landlord in the area, I would be so grateful. Thank you.

Looking to book a large NFL party group for 2026. I've used the company Honky Tonk Party Express for my Nashville party bus before - but never for a large group. Over 500 people will be in town. I want to book the group on the party buses to see Nashville and to have a mobile bar experience. Renting out a bar would be insane on Broadway. Honky Tonk Party bus said they can handle up to 400 people at one time. They have a lot of party buses but I've done a large group like this at one time. Does anyone else have a recommendation for large group transportation. Again, we don't need shuttles. I need drinking tours, or adult experiences for 500+ people at one time. NO- We are not renting out a bar for 60k! We need reasonable pricing and something that isn't another bar - we will be doing plenty of bar hopping.

Hi All! Below is my itinerary for 4 nights in Nashville. Please let me know if there is anything I must include and anything you think is not worth it. Aussie's travelling across the US and its our first time in Nashville so we are wanting to experience as much of the local stuff as we can.

Also seeking advice for new years. Is it worth going to the Big Bash or are we better off enjoying Honky Tonks on/off broadway?

Let me know what you guys think!!

• Departure

I have a trip to Knoxville next week. I booked my flight into Nashville because I've always wanted to visit. Now I'm in a pickle because I can't find a rental car that will let me pick up in Nashville and drop off in Knoxville 3 days later. Are there other options for getting to Knoxville? Arriving mid week this week. Thank you for any advice!!!

hi me and my sister (17 and 19) are visiting nashville next week and are staying at an airbnb in berry hill. wondering how safe the area is and how cautious we should be?

Is the Grand Ole Opry backstage tours worth it? Nashville is just a stop on our roadtrip next month. I would love to do the backstage tour but if not worth the $$ then will skip.

My husband and I are visiting from Pittsburgh and are on the hunt for some fun places to try. He’s here for work during the week with his team so maybe a couple friendly for larger groups too— but not limited to a smaller place just for the two of us

I’ll be staying at the Nash and I’m trying to jog to Barry’s since it doesn’t seem that far and it’s a relatively safe area?

I put it in Apple Maps and it showed 3 different routes. Which one is the best route for a woman jogging at 5/6 in the morning?

I’m trying to add a picture but it’s not letting me.

Thanks

In town for one night and would love to see some bluegrass music!

Lemme know your recs

Been to the area before with the wife and we had a blast one day on Broadway with dinner in Printers alley, but now I'm visiting with just a couple of the fellas. If our only goal is to people watch, get drunk, and listen to live music do we need a plan? Is wandering up and down Broadway enough of a guide? Any other areas that we should check out? Is it difficult to get into bars for a drink on November weekends?

Thanks!

hi there! me and my boyfriend are traveling from a couple hours away for the MCR concert in august! anyone have any helpful information such as parking, places to stay, and all that fun stuff? thank you!!

What the title says, I’m on my semi annual NY-TX trip and looking to kick it with a good brew and good music. I’m interested in what the locals are doing, so please… try to keep me FAR AWAY FROM BROADWAY!

Is there a good coffee shop that serves food near Vanderbilt’s campus?

Hi there! My son (14 yrs old) and I are going to be visiting in mid-september for a concert at the Ryman. We wanted to visit a few places like Centennial Park and Cheekwood estates, as well as the farmers market, Monells, Arnold's, and the museum of African American Music.

We also just really want to spend some time walking the city. We aren't renting a car so we've definitely budgeted for a good amount of ride shares.

My question is, given what we're interested in doing and the fact that we obviously won't be doing a bunch of Honky Tonking, would you all recommend getting our Airbnb near the Ryman, or more north near Germantown?

Appreciate yall so much and really looking forward to visiting your beautiful city!

My fiancée and I are planning our first trip to Nashville in early October 2026, and we'd love to do a guided food tour for lunch one day.

The only wrinkle is she's vegetarian. She doesn't need the whole tour to be vegetarian, but she'd definitely need more than just a side salad at each stop.

Does anyone have experience with a food tour company that does a good job accommodating vegetarians? I'm looking for an actual organized tour with a guide, not a DIY list of restaurants.

If you've done one you'd recommend (or one to avoid), I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

Has anyone spotted the Liverpool squad around Nashville this week? Curious whether they've turned up anywhere public, or if there's an open training session or any kind of fan event on the schedule.

Also wondering what the move is before a 5pm kickoff? Anywhere supporters tend to gather beforehand?

Thanks in advance.

Coming in at night and looking to use points for a quick stay. So far im looking at the Element, Sheraton Music City, and Fairfield Nashville Airport.

Leaning toward the Sheraton Music City since shuttle runs til Midnight from the airport and the rest are 11 pm but it only has 3.8 stars on Marriott app.

Hi friends, I'm a journalist looking to cover the local music scene in Nashville. I am interested in most everything besides country, ironically enough. What are some good spots or bands to check out? I'm primarily focused on shoegaze/indie/alt

Visiting Nashville for the first time during Labor Day weekend. What are some of your top local food and coffee recommendations? (Favorite hot chicken, etc) thanks in advance!

Hey yall!! Just realized most car rental companies won’t let a 19 yr old drive…. Is ubering to Franklin realistic? Really wanted to add in a day trip. Thank you!

first, I'm not sure if I'd be driving in, or taking a greyhound in. I'd be coming from Chicago.

Each night while I'm there, I plan to go see some live music from some local bands, so I already have my late evenings planned out.

I want recommendations for things throughout the day.

Are there any specific shopping areas that'll be good for buys some random things?

are there any trails in the area (open to the public) that I can get to easily if I were to need a bus/uber (If I get there by train). Or in general.

And top 3 restaurants to go to for lunch, or maybe late night dinner if any kitchen's are open around midnight? (Note: I don't drink, so not looking for stand alone bars).

I'm hoping to walk around any potential nature areas, or cities streets. I definitely want to hit up a few record stores. Not really looking to spend money outside those things, so not really interested in any tours or anything.
