Speaker 1 (00:01):
Taking a Walk Nashville. Well, this is Buzz Night, the
host of Taking a Walk, and I'm so happy to
have Sarah Harrison for Taking a Walk Nashville. We're gonna
do the Taking a Walk Nashville concert calendar. So let's
take a look and see what's happening in music city, Sarah,
what do you see on the horizon.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
There's a lot of fun events coming up in Nashville,
as always, but so much packed into this November. I
think I'm most excited for the Country Music Hall of
Fame Muscle Shoals concert coming up on November fourteenth. So
Country Music Hall of Fame, they're opening a new exhibit
(00:43):
all based around the music of Muscle Shoals. So during
November fourteenth at the CMA Theater, the house band of
Muscle Shoals Aces will be performing and some of the
featured artists include Tiara Kennedy, Maggoty Maggie Rose, Shenandoah, and
Wendy Molten, who I know very well.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Now, when was the last walk through you had for
the amazing Country Music Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's probably been a few years. I've been there quite
a few times. I've been to a lot of concerts
at the CMA Theater. But what I love about the
Hall of Fame is they're always changing up their exhibits,
so there's always a reason to go back to see
their new exhibits.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I think it's one of the best museums that I've
certainly been to. And you know, there's some amazing ones
out there, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame being
one of them. But what I love about the Country
Music Hall of Fame is that it touches everything it
takes on country when it comes to Americana, when it
(01:53):
comes to certainly the historical part and the legacy of it,
it just has so much dynamic to it. That's certainly
how I love getting lost at the Country Music Hall
of Fame walking through it me.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Too, And this will be a fun night because we
get to see how country music made its way down
to Muscle Shoals and the country music that was recorded
down there.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Now have you spend any time in Muscle Shoals.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I have, Yes, I've toured the different studios down there
in Muscle Shoals, and I have family in Birmingham, Alabama,
so it's definitely a town I've passed through many times.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So, since we are talking concerts coming through Music City
and there's so many of them, and since taking a
walk Nashville will cover certainly the wide breadth of music
that is in Nashville, I wanted to ask you, first
of all, before we look at some particular dates and
artists playing, what are some of your favorite venues in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
In Music City there's so many great music venues. The
Ryman is one. Margo Price is playing there in November.
We have the listening room the Bluebird Cafe if you
can get a ticket. But everywhere you go in Nashville
there's always music playing. East Nashville there's some great music
(03:19):
venues too, and there's a brand new music venue in
Nashville called the Pinnacle and that was opened in February
of this year, and Paul McCartney is playing at the
Pinnacle this November, so that's another great concert for people
to go to.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Wow, that's amazing, and I'm sure there's even room for
other places to develop as well. Let's go back to
the Ryman and well, first of all, when we first met,
we took a walk up to the Ryman and recorded
our episode there. But the Ryman remains, certainly for me
(03:57):
one of my favorite places in you know, knowing that
Margot Price is coming through sounds like a pretty exciting
take coming up in November. I would guess that's a
pretty hot ticket.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, that's coming up on November twentieth, Great Americana lineup.
Besides Margot Price, it looks like Rattlesnake Milk Texas Band
is opening up for her, so that'll definitely be a
popular show to attend.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
How about East Nashville in terms of venues, There's a
place that I got to visit one time that from
the outside you would be scratching your head about what's
going on inside there, But when you get inside, and
I'm talking about the Basement, it's a pretty it's a
pretty amazing venue. What's your take on the Basement.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, so we have the Basement on Eighth Avenue, which
is the smaller version, and then the Basement East and
East Nashville. It's like the bigger venue of the Basement.
But they I've had some flooding issues and tornado damage
when we had a tornado here a few years ago,
so they rebuilt since and I've been to many concerts there.
(05:10):
That's a great venue, and it looks like Thomas Dolby
is playing there this November as.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, which when I saw that, I was like, wait
a minute, I didn't know he was still out touring now.
Thomas Dolby had this song called she Blinded Me by
Science as it was the hook. But I found it
so interesting that of all people and of all places,
Thomas Dolby bringing an act on the road and he's
(05:38):
playing in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah. Yeah, that should be a fun show to go to.
I'm not sure if he's released new music in a while,
but maybe he will for this tour.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Well. Like some artists when they repertoire is a little shorter,
they play the hit twice.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Have you ever seen What's true?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
No, So as a singer songwriter, you see venues a
little bit differently to go out and play at. So
what are some of your favorites as an artist going
out to play at.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I definitely love the listening room. I'm playing there shortly,
and what's fun about the listening room and that kind
of venue is you know, people are quiet and they're
actually listening to the songs being played. But it's more
of a songwriter venue, So it's about three or four
songwriters what they call in the round, and each songwriter
(06:36):
will take a turn sharing their story of how they
wrote the song and then play a song and they
just go around. So that's always my favorite format of
show to play.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Well, I want to just throw out something to the
members of the listening audience that might be from the
musician community. If you're going out and you want us
to publicize your your gig that's coming up in the
near future, certainly you can get a hold of us
and we're happy to give you a little little props
(07:09):
and a little publicity there to support Music City and
to support the music community. So the goal of doing
this concert calendar is not only to highlight folks like
Margot Price and acts like Paul McCartney who don't necessarily
need our support, but we are so pro artist and
(07:33):
pro musician that anybody that's out there that maybe wants
us to put in a word happy to do that.
I hope, Sarah, we've opened up the floodgates by doing this.
How's that.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think that's a great point, Buzz, especially because you know,
it's great that we have so many events and concerts
happening happening constantly here in Nashville, but when there's so
many shows going on at once, sometimes it's hard to
break through the noise or sell tickets or get people
to show up. So anyway we can help to promote
(08:05):
shows and get people to show up, we would love
to help.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
So we ask one last favor of those listening. If
you like this podcast and you want to share it
with your friends, please do tell the world about taking
a walk Nashville. Tell the world about taking a walk.
We're happy for you to share all of it. Lastly,
we want to share your project that has been in
(08:32):
the works for a long time. By the time we
probably play this episode, there'll be a lot that has
happened for your project. But tell everybody about that exciting project. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I've been a part of an upcoming documentary. It's been
in the works for probably a year and a half now,
but it's finally happening. We've already done some filming for it.
It includes myself and Nashville artist Wendy Molten and Judy
Pastor and Texas artist Delaney Ann. And it just takes
(09:05):
a look in the life of what it's like to
be a female in the music industry and maybe struggles
we go through or what it's like for us on
the road as more of an independent singer songwriter. So
I'm really excited for people to see this documentary. And
we are about to do a run of shows in
(09:26):
Tennessee and Texas. We're performing at the Listening Room. We're
doing a benefit show with Strings for Hope, a wonderful,
wonderful organization that supports female survivors of interpersonal violence. So
we're just really excited to come together and perform together
(09:46):
this week.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well that sounds awesome, and thank you Sarah, and encourage
everybody to check out Taking a Walk Nashville, and we
are part of the iHeart podcast network and wherever else
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
