Today
🎸 AJ Ghent & His Singing Guitar @ City Winery | Friday (9/5) at 7:30pm – Take a break from reruns and catch AJ Ghent’s ‘Singing Guitar’ spectacle, think soulful slide riffs that double as guilt-free therapy. Tickets vanish faster than a viral TikTok dance, so snag yours before the locals swear they were here first.
😂 Comedy on Broadway @ Whiskey Bent Saloon | Friday (9/5) at 7:30pm – Comedy On Broadway is saddling up a rowdy corral of honky-tonk energy and belly-bustin’ punchlines, with stand-up acts hitching in from across the country. It’s the kind of local night that’ll leave your cheeks sore and your drink forgotten at the bar.
This weekend
👟 St. Jude Walk @ First Horizon Park | Saturday (9/6) at 8:00am – Step away from your couch and meet me downtown at First Horizon Park for the St. Jude Walk Nashville, where every stroll counts towards lifesaving research. Expect friendly faces, music in the air, and Nashville energy rallying for kids. Registration is free, no excuse.
📚 Book Talk: Paul Burch Discusses Meridian Rising @ Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum | Saturday (9/6) at 3:30pm – Swap the remote for a seat at Paul Burch’s laid-back book talk, where this singer-songwriter riffs on a bio-fictional Jimmie Rodgers drenched in imaginary IOUs and family gossip. Expect live tunes, dry humor, and a signing that feels like hanging with old friends.
🎡 Green Hills Park Festival @ Green Hills Park | Saturday (9/6) at 5:00pm – Grab a lawn chair, head to Green Hills Park for a free all-ages bash with local vendors, food trucks, beer, wine, and live music. Stick around for the outdoor movie, and bask in supporting Friends of Green Hills Park, because your couch will miss you.
💃 Dance Fest @ The Nashville Palace | Sunday (9/7) at 9:00am – Think you’ve still got the two-step perfected? Swing by the Nashville Palace for all-level dance workshops, friendly line and swing competitions, and daily country concerts that make karaoke sound tame. It’s our hometown’s honky-tonk fest, minus the tourist traps, and kale smoothies.
✨ Family Program: Bedazzled Buttons @ Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum | Sunday (9/7) at 10:00am – Swap your car keys for glue guns and join us at the museum to bedazzle buttons celebrating Lainey Wilson. No fancy machinery required, just a love of country flair, sparkly chaos, and a perfectly valid excuse to dodge yard work.
🎼 Jonathan Scales Fourchestra @ Analog at Hutton Hotel | Sunday (9/7) at 8:00pm – Whether you’re jaded by your usual Friday bar band or just desperate for something that doesn’t sound like background muzak, catch the Jonathan Scales Fourchestra tearing up the stage with jaw-dropping chops, cosmic steel-pan grooves, and enough funk to revive your adulting soul.
Next week
🏛️ Parthenon Symposium: Archaeological Discoveries @ The Parthenon | Tuesday (9/9) at 6:00pm – Dust off your inner Indiana Jones and wander upstairs to the Naos for a free peek at Nashville’s buried secrets.

🍷 Booker Wine Dinner @ Char Restaurant | Tuesday (9/9) at 6:30pm – Tuesday nights deserve four-course feasts, generous pours, and wine chatter from Booker Vineyard’s own brand manager, Carson O’Connor.
