Today
🤠 Thompson Square @ City Winery | Friday (11/28) at 7:30pm – Skip the bar noise and give date night an upgrade with Thompson Square, the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated country duo doing an intimate acoustic set. Think harmonies, stories, and songs you actually know, without anyone yelling for beer pong. Sit back, sway, smile.
🎶 Victoria Banks and more @ Listening Room Cafe | Friday (11/28) at 8:30pm – Think you know country hits? Come hear the writers who actually penned them, Victoria Banks, Emily Shackelton, and Phil Barton, trading songs and stories. Expect the hooks you hum while unloading groceries, a few jaw-dropping backstories, and zero filler, just craft.
This weekend
🎤 Ericca Latza @ Lute’s Lights | Saturday (11/29) at 6:00pm – Take a break from errands and catch Lute’s Lights flicker to life, with cookies, hot cocoa, and live tunes from Ericca Latza. It’s small-town magic, kids buzzing on sugar, adults claiming it’s “brisk,” and that collective gasp when the switch flips never gets old.
👗 24th Biennial Precious Pearls Cotillion @ Renaissance Nashville Hotel | Saturday (11/29) at 6:00pm – Break out the tux, polish the pearls, and pretend we still remember a proper waltz. The 24th Biennial Precious Pearls Cotillion is all elegance, debutantes, and proud families, the rare night where posture counts, photos become heirlooms, and scuffed shoes tell good stories.
🕯️Neo-Soul Favorites @ Conrad Nashville | Saturday (11/29) at 8:45pm – Swap Broadway’s racket for candlelight at The Conrad, where a string quartet spins neo-soul favorites from Prince, Sade, and Childish Gambino. It’s date night with taste, not tinnitus. Expect lush arrangements, a civilized crowd, and that rare thing in Nashville, hush.
🎸 James Carothers @ The Nashville Palace | Sunday (11/30) at 2:00pm – Swing by The Nashville Palace for James Carothers holding court with that no-frills, baritone twang and proper honky-tonk grit. It’s an afternoon set, so you can two-step, sip something cold, and still be home before your knees start filing complaints.
🎤 Radney Foster and more @ 3rd and Lindsley | Sunday (11/30) at 7:00pm – Radney Foster is rolling into town with Kim Richey and Mando Saenz for a night of grown-up songwriting, tight harmonies, and stories you actually want to hear. Expect twang, wit, and guitars that stay in tune. No TikTok choreography, just goosebumps and good company.
🎤 Diane & Frank Marino @ Gannons Nashville | Sunday (11/30) at 7:30pm – Nothing beats jazz with a cocktail and a decent chair. At Gannon’s, local pros Diane and Frank Marino pour piano, vocals, and bass into warm swing, drifting through standards and American Songbook gems. Grab a booth, order something brown, pretend you always knew that tune.
Next week
🦒 Zoolumination @ Nashville Zoo | Monday (12/1) at 5:00pm – Think you’ve seen every holiday light show in town? Zoolumination turns the zoo into a glowing safari with 1,000 silk lanterns and giant creatures. Skate the Smashville Ice Rink, visit the North Pole Village, and spot tigers and flamingos. Better than untangling lights at home.
🎄 21st Annual Lighting of the Green @ Lipscomb University | Tuesday (12/2) at 4:00pm – Whether you’ve been humming along since Amy Grant started the tradition, or you come for the Merry Marketplace and Santa photos, Lipscomb’s 21st edition is back, free, and in Allen Arena while the lawn recovers. Ellie Holcomb hosts, with choirs, surprise guests, and warm toes.
🎗️ Country vs. Cancer @ The Pinnacle | Tuesday (12/2) at 7:00pm – If your playlist leans country and your heart’s generous, Giving Tuesday brings HARDY, Miranda Lambert, and Dierks Bentley for a benefit for the American Cancer Society. GA is standing room, reserved balcony, and cashless bar, so bring a card, snag four, feel good doing it.
