THE HEART OF THE ARTS Nashville has a rich visual and performance arts community. The work of local and national artists is celebrated during the monthly First Saturday Art Crawls in the 5th Avenue of the Arts district and the Wedgewood-Houston (WeHo) neighborhood. The acclaimed Stieglitz collection returns to the Van Vechten Art Gallery at Fisk University and features 101 works by renowned artists including Cézanne, Picasso, Renoir and O’Keeffe. During the early part of 2020, the Frist Art Museum features illustrative art, including a special presentation on Nashville Street Art and a celebration of acclaimed children’s author and artist Eric Carle. Events such as the 49th Annual Spring Tennessee Crafts Fair in May and the 46th Annual American Artisan Festival in June showcase the talents of regional and national artists.

Live entertainment is always available in Nashville, but a changing weekly roster of hitmakers at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry makes each performance unique. Each winter, the Opry returns to its roots for a limited engagement at downtown’s Ryman Auditorium. On Thursdays throughout the year, the historic venue hosts the special Opry Country Classics show except during the summer when Bluegrass Nights take center stage. The Ryman, with its renowned acoustics, is also a popular all-genre venue with everyone from Maren Morris and Ringo Starr to Carol Burnett and Michelle Obama taking the stage in the past year. The city’s international reputation as a music center has made it a popular stop for top touring acts, making Bridgestone Arena one of the world’s busiest concert venues. Visitors will find headline acts at one of Nashville's performance venues and clubs nearly every week. Download the free Live Music Guide App for a list of who is playing where. Another way to experience music is through the collections at the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum, which is featuring limitedengagement exhibits in 2020 on Keith Whitley, Kacey Musgraves, Brooks & Dunn and songwriters Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. For more, go to visitmusiccity.com. The Tennessee Performing Arts Center starts the year off with the blockbuster musical “Hamilton” making its Nashville debut the first three weeks of January. The packed calendar continues with stage performances of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Escape to Margaritaville,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and more. TPAC is also home stage to the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera and Nashville Repertory Theatre, which all feature full seasons of classical and modern works, and the Nashville Children’s Theatre 2020 season includes the world premiere of “Hans Christian Andersen.” The city is also home to the GRAMMY®winning Nashville Symphony, which hosts a full slate of performances ranging from the music of the movies to classical masterpieces. The 2020 season is highlighted by special events including Mahler’s “Symphony No. 10," Star Wars in Concert and Dancing in the Streets: The Music of Motown.

GET IN THE GAME As home to both the NFL Tennessee Titans and NHL Nashville Predators, the year begins with dreams of playoffs and championships. The year also starts a new soccer era that begins in early March as Nashville SC kicks off the city’s first MLS season. For collegiate players, the road to March madness begins – and sometimes ends – in Nashville with the SEC men’s basketball tournament hitting the hardwood at Bridgestone Arena. In April, the Nashville Sounds, AAA affiliate of the Texas Rangers, are at bat and leading off the team’s exciting season. May brings the pageantry and majesty of horse racing to the city in celebration of the 79th Annual Iroquois Steeplechase. Spring also offers lots of opportunities to let your inner Olympian run wild.

The fashionable week also includes special off-site happenings complementing the main shows at OZ Arts Nashville.

NIBBLING THROUGH NASHVILLE Nashville offers plenty of festivals where food and drink are the stars of the show. Just about the time New Year’s resolutions have worn off, it’s time for Nashville Restaurant Week with special meals and pricing at dozens of the city’s most popular independently owned establishments. The 18th Annual Nissan Taste of Music City, Iron Fork and Nashville VegFest are just a few spring events that showcase talented chefs. Plenty of other festivals explore the art of libations, including Brew at the Zoo, Nashville Cocktail Festival and Whiskey Warmer. Find out more at visitmusiccity.com/ foodevents. visitmusiccity.com

SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT In Music City, it usually starts with a song, and the city is filled with festivals that honor the diversity of talented musicians who call Nashville home. This isn’t just a city where music is recorded and played – this is the place where it’s created. Each spring, Nashville celebrates its talented songwriters during Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival. Now in its 28th year, the fiveday annual event brings together hundreds of songwriters to share the stories behind the music at venues around town. Many musical events are set in the city’s parks and neighborhoods such as Musicians Corner weekly concerts in Centennial Park, Jefferson Street Jazz & Blues Festival and Full Moon Pickin’ Parties at Percy Warner Park. The biggest outdoor concert events go back-to-back in June with CMA Fest bringing the biggest names in country to downtown Nashville for four days of nonstop music and fan events. About an hour down the road, happy campers flock to the annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival featuring headline acts across multiple genres.

MORE TO COME … Nashville launches the second half of the year in true Music City style by hosting the nation’s largest fireworks display accompanied by a star-studded concert at the annual Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th. Then it’s on to a full calendar of fall events such as the Music City Food + Wine Festival, the Southern Festival of Books, Cheekwood Harvest, Nashville Film Festival and the Annual CMA Awards. There’s plenty more fun to come, too.

TO NASHVILLE IF IT’S BEEN A FEW MONTHS – OR EVEN A FEW WEEKS – SINCE YOU LAST VISITED NASHVILLE, YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED BY ALL THAT’S NEW TO SEE AND DO.

YOU CAN ALWAYS GO – DOWNTOWN The city’s central business and entertainment district continues to expand with news of new corporate headquarters, hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions. Two of the biggest developments – Fifth + Broadway and Nashville Yards – lead the way with innovative ideas on how to work and play downtown. Fifth + Broadway is set to make its debut with offices, a residential tower, conference center, an eclectic retail mix and a dining scene incorporating Nashville favorites, including Hattie B’s Hot Chicken and Slim & Husky’s Pizza Beeria. The project is anchored by the National Museum of African American Music, which showcases the contributions of black artists across 50 musical genres. Construction is well underway on Nashville Yards, which will be home to Amazon’s new Nashville Center of Excellence. In addition to offices and residential units, the massive project will feature a 23-story Grand Hyatt Hotel opening this year. Entertainment giants AEG and MGM are partnering to develop more than 4 acres to include a large-scale music venue, movie theater, smaller club and additional hotel rooms. visitmusiccity.com

19


KEEP ON PLAYIN' New and expanded attractions mean there are even more ways to play in Music City. In addition to the National Museum of African American Music, the nearby Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum recently opened the Curb Gallery with detailed displays from the Johnny Cash Collection and significant additions to the Jimi Hendrix exhibit. Recent additions include Ray Stevens CabaRay Showroom and the unique opportunity to experience a live recording session through Imagine Recordings. Families will certainly enjoy splashing around at Gaylord Opryland® Resort & Convention Center’s $90 million SoundWaves, featuring 4 acres of indoor and outdoor water activities, or at Nashville Shores’ interactive floating playground. Learning comes to life as visitors make their way through thousands of years of history at the new Tennessee State Museum, one of the stops on the Tennessee Music Pathways and the U.S. Civil Rights Trail.

EAT, DRINK, REPEAT! Recognized for its creative culinary scene, Nashville is a foodie’s dream destination. Highly anticipated new restaurants have recently opened or are nearing their debut under the guidance of a trio of James Beard Award-winning chefs. Chef RJ Cooper has opened Saint Stephen in Germantown, Chef Michael Mina introduced his second Nashville project with Pabu, an izakaya and high-end sushi bar downtown, and Chef Sean Brock is putting the finishing touches on his 10,000-square-foot ode to Appalachia, paying homage to the food of his heritage. Another noted chef, Ford Fry, has recently opened a trio of new Germantown restaurants under one roof – The Optimist, Le Loup and Star Rover. The new Downtown Sporting Club features four floors with all-day dining, hotel rooms and ax throwing (yep, ax throwing!), along with other “old-fashioned” games, and The Gulch is the site of new Pan-Asian influenced seafood restaurant Pemrose.

KICKING OFF A NEW ERA The MLS era is officially underway as Major League Soccer makes its Music City debut in March. Playing at Nissan Stadium for the next two seasons, Nashville SC will move to its new 30,000-seat stadium at The Fairgrounds Nashville, just south of downtown, in 2022. visitmusiccity.com

In the past two years, about 35 new hotels across all price points have opened, giving guests more options than ever. Recent downtown boutique properties – Dream, Noelle, Bobby and Fairlane – each have a distinct personality but share an emphasis on exceptional, personalized service. In SoBro, the newly opened Margaritaville Hotel is a marriage of tropical flair and Music City magic. Other additions to the area south of Broadway include the luxurious JW Marriott and a first-of-its-kind tri-brand Marriott project with three distinct properties under one roof. The Joseph, which will feature works by Tennessee artists, joins the roster of luxury SoBro properties when it opens later this summer. Nearby, the new Cambria Hotel features a curated selection of tech-centric amenities, décor that evokes the city’s creative spirit and the True Music Room and Bar, paying homage to Nashville’s tradition of live entertainment. The 16-story W Hotel Nashville in The Gulch will welcome guests in 2021 with amenities such as a massive pool deck with luxury cabanas, yoga area and rooftop bar. Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Hotels Nashville also opens this year with 240 rooms and concept suites, and planning is underway for a new Ritz-Carlton.

WE HAVE LIFTOFF From arrival at Nashville International Airport, it’s clear this city is on the move. In the midst of a $1.2 billion improvement project slated for completion in 2023, the airport is expanding ticketing and baggage claim, building an on-site hotel, adding new domestic and international flights and constructing an international arrivals terminal. More than 90 new food and beverage locations, including Prince’s Hot Chicken, Biscuit Love, Tootsies Orchid Lounge and Tennessee Brew Works show off the city’s distinct personality. Nashville-based retailers like Parnassus Books and Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James set the tone for a stylish stay.

Songs for the Ages O

n October 6, 1871, six short years after the end of the Civil War, 10 students at Fisk University set out from Nashville on a fundraising mission to save their school.

It was a make-or-break mission: The school was just 5 years old and had emptied its treasury in order to cover travel expenses for the group. If they failed, the school would go under. What is hard to comprehend today is that this group – who would become known as the Fisk Jubilee Singers – were bringing something to the world it had never heard before.

Rather than performing in the traditional “minstrel fashion,” the black students – seven of whom were former slaves themselves – sang spirituals sung by slaves working in the fields or behind closed doors in black churches across the South. In November of the same year, the student group, now down to nine singers, and their director, George L. White, arrived at Oberlin College in Ohio to perform for a national convention of ministers, who weren’t prepared for what they were about to hear. The music started. “All of a sudden, there was no talking,” musicologist and former Jubilee Singer Director Horace C. Boyer notes. “They said you could hear the soft weeping.”

MAKING AN IMPACT AROUND THE WORLD Word spread. Invitations to perform began to arrive. In the next two years, the Fisk Jubilee Singers performed across the country for audiences that included President Ulysses S. Grant, William Lloyd Garrison and Mark Twain. They then traveled to Europe, where they performed for audiences including Queen Victoria and Johann Strauss. Their performances not only saved Fisk; they were able

MUSEUM CELEBRATES FISK JUBILEE SINGERS, WHO PUT NASHVILLE ON THE MUSICAL MAP


PHOTO RIGHT: FISK UNIVERSITY, JOHN HOPE AND AURELIA E. FRANKLIN LIBRARY, SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, PHOTOGRAPH ARCHIVES, FISK JUBILEE SINGERS, 1871

“The world listened only half credulously until the Fisk Jubilee Singers sang the slave songs so deeply into the world’s heart that it can never wholly forget them again.” — W.E.B. Dubois

to raise enough money to purchase land and build Jubilee Hall, the South’s first permanent structure built for the education of black students. In performing this truly original music on the world stage, the Jubilee Singers also put Nashville on the map. They created a rich musical legacy, their contribution to what eventually would be known around the world as Music City. Before there were the famous sounds, artists and studios of country music, for which Nashville is well known, there were the Fisk Jubilee Singers.

MUSEUM BRINGS MUSICAL HISTORY TO LIFE From this spiritual seed, not only was gospel music in ascendance, but African American artists throughout the South had created their own secular kind of spiritual: the blues – arguably the most influential musical genre of the last 200 years. Rock ’n’ roll, jazz, rhythm and blues, funk, pop, hip-hop, even country, all are fundamentally indebted to the blues. The National Museum of African American Music, opening in 2020 in the heart of downtown, honors this tradition and fulfills the legacy of Music City set forth by those nine singers in 1871.

The museum’s five permanent galleries feature more than 1,500 artifacts and 25 interactive displays that chronicle the history of African American music from the 1600s to the present day. In addition, NMAAM features a rotating exhibit and, fittingly, the first one honors the Fisk Jubilee Singers. “This is the first detailed exhibition about the Fisk Jubilee Singers’ legacy,” says Dr. Paul T. Kwami, associate professor of music at Fisk and musical director of the Fisk Jubilee Singers. “This exhibition provides an opportunity for people to acquire greater knowledge about Fisk Jubilee Singers and their importance to the music culture of Nashville and the world.” It’s through the work of Kwami and the team at NMAAM that the story of the Jubilee Singers can be shared with visitors from around the country and around the world – just as the original Singers themselves were able to do nearly 150 years ago. NMAAM will highlight the African American artists and pioneers who played an influential role in creating the music that has been an integral piece of American history and culture. For Nashville, that story begins at Fisk with those 10 students. The city might not be what it is today were it not for them. Possibly, African American music as we know it wouldn’t be the same either. visitmusiccity.com

EAST NASHVILLE Across the river from downtown, East Nashville is hip, happening and home to the city’s alternative music scene. Venues including Lipstick Lounge, The East Room, Grimey’s, The 5 Spot and The Basement East showcase indie rock, hip-hop, punk, EDM and alt-country. Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, is also the site for large stadium tours and the all-star CMA Fest each June.

MIDTOWN/WEST END

PHOTOS CLOCKWISE: JEFF ADKINS/JCI; CASEY MABRY; JEFF ADKINS/JCI

Just beyond downtown, the midtown area includes several musical pockets within its boundaries. Elliston Place, known as The Rock Block, houses the legendary Exit/In. For nearly 50 years, everyone from Avril Lavigne and Etta James to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Death Cab for Cutie has played this forum for rockers, rappers, DJs and metalheads. A few doors down, The End features established and aspiring rock musicians with many shows open to those 18 and up. Nearby, Centennial Park hosts family-friendly musical concerts and events throughout the year. And Music Row and the Vanderbilt University area offer an eclectic mix ranging from songwriters to dance music.

THE GULCH The Gulch runs north and south of Broadway at the edge of downtown. The area is home to The Station Inn, a mainstay in roots and bluegrass music, and also Rudy’s Jazz Room and Mercy Lounge. In addition, Nashville Yards, a massive mixed-used project under construction, will include a 4-acre entertainment district. visitmusiccity.com

27


OPRYLAND/MUSIC VALLEY Home of the venerable Grand Ole Opry, this entertainment mecca is renowned for country music and stage shows. The Ernest Tubb Midnite Jamboree has broadcast Saturday nights for nearly 75 years. The popular radio show now airs from the Texas Troubadour Theatre, which features traditional country and a high-energy tribute to Elvis during the week. Down the street, the Nashville Palace and John A’s are known for hosting Opry legends and rising stars. Comedy, music and theatrical productions take a starring role at dinner theaters, including Nashville Nightlife and on the grand General Jackson Showboat.

DOWNTOWN Lower Broadway is the hub of live entertainment with the Honky Tonk Highway serving up cold beverages and hot guitar licks all day, every day. Although country is king, there’s room for other genres to take center stage at popular spots, including Acme Feed & Seed and Nashville Underground. While the “music per square foot” is highest on Broadway, you can bet other nonstop entertainment is happening nearby – along historic Second Avenue and in Printers Alley. For more than a century, these hot spots have hosted everyone from Hank Williams to B.B. King and, today, feature a mix of country, blues, rock and soul. SoBro – south of Broadway – offers an equally diverse lineup with the Schermerhorn Symphony Center and the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. Iconic SoBro venues include Mercy Lounge, 3rd & Lindsley and Jack White’s Third Man Records, which feature up-and-comers, hit songwriters and nationally established acts. Downtown is also a popular stop for national concert tours and blockbuster events. In a 10-block radius, multiple headline acts perform at Bridgestone Arena, the Ryman Auditorium and Ascend Amphitheater.

MAD

FOR MURALS Colorful Polka Dots + Stripes

K

elsey Montague’s wildly popular What Lifts You wings mural isn’t the only local art installation worth lining up for. As mural travel becomes an increasingly growing niche in the tourism industry, Nashville has poised itself at the top of the game by boasting some of the boldest street art in the South.

Art collectives like Nashville Walls Project have led the pack by completely transforming blighted neighborhoods, as well as bringing life to drab areas like the Elliston Parking Garage, a collaboration by the hospital complexes that enlisted prolific artists like Chris Zidek, Tess Erlenborn, Kyle Barton and Eric Bass to paint the walls, corridors and stairwells of all four stories. The group also facilitates relationships between local businesses and international artists and has brought in such acclaimed muralists as Jason Woodside, whose iconic rainbow-colored ribbons decorate The Gulch, and Beau Stanton, whose Rivive mural towers over Fifth Avenue North just beyond the Ryman Auditorium and aims to raise awareness of Nashville’s waterways. But downtown isn’t the only neighborhood brimming with color. East Nashville’s Gallatin

Avenue is dotted with murals, with new ones popping up weekly, anchored by such artists as Nathan Brown, whose signature geometrics dominate the Five Points neighborhood, and Tara Aversa, known for her florals that can be seen both inside and outside of Walden Bar. In 12 South, Adrien Saporiti’s famed I Believe in Nashville wall continues to draw crowds, as does Draper James’ simplistic blue-andwhite striped facade next door. Saporiti is also responsible for painting the KindComments wall on the side of Black Rabbit restaurant downtown in partnership with Instagram. Charlotte Avenue boasts Off the Wall, a tapestry on which more than a dozen artists have left their mark. West of there is perhaps Nashville’s most eye-catching piece of public art: The Nations Silo, a 160-foot-tall grain silo painted by Guido van Helten out of Australia.

Resort & Convention Center. 800-843-6983 nwtf.org

William Turner was a central figure in the Romantic movement and is considered to be among the greatest landscape painters in Western art. Long admired for his ingenuity, originality and passion, Turner strove to convey the feeling of awe aroused by nature’s immensity and power – its palpable atmospheres, pulsating energy, the drama of storms and disasters and the transcendent effect of pure light. On view in “Quest for the Sublime” are seminal oil paintings, luminous watercolors and evocative sketches selected from Tate’s Turner Bequest. Frist Art Museum. 615-244-2240 fristartmuseum.org

JITISH KALLAT The internationally

In a darkened gallery, visitors will walk through the mist screen on which the letter is projected, breaking the words apart.
