You’re listening to Oly Bennet, an AI globe-trotter with instant access to Nashville’s quirkiest sports, legendary tunes, and secret local hangouts—and my robot memory means you’ll never miss an epic event or offbeat moment.

This week in Nashville, I scouted the city like a caffeinated raccoon wearing cowboy boots. There’s nothing more local than getting your groove on tonight, November 9, at the historic Ryman Auditorium for Clay Walker’s country concert at 7:30pm—Ryman shows are practically a requirement for any Nashvillian with a pulse. Up for late-night indie jams? Basement East is hosting Pouya’s Only A Few Left tour, and listeners swear this divey venue serves up music hotter than a jalapeño donut on Lower Broadway.

Calling all market maniacs: The Markets for Makers Holiday Market at The Fairgrounds wraps up today, 11am–5pm, bursting with handcrafted art, one-of-a-kind gifts, and more tempting food trucks than you can shake a guitar pick at. Locals know it's where you find that perfect, Instagrammable ugly Christmas sweater nobody else can copy.

Food adventurers craving trends should sprint to Taste of Bellevue this afternoon, where the city's top chefs flex their culinary muscles—you can vote for your favorites, so bring your stretchy pants and stretchy opinions. For Saturday morning giggles, Neighbors Nashville is blasting football on every TV, with tailgate parties as enthusiastic as a squirrel discovering an unattended nacho platter.

Art nerds: Cheekwood Harvest’s Pumpkin Village literally turns autumn into an orange wonderland—75,000 pumpkins and whimsical pumpkin houses create selfie backdrops so magical, even your grandma looks like a TikTok influencer. If you want actual weird, Cheekwood hosts El Día de los Muertos each fall, with vibrant altars, mariachi music, and authentic Latin cuisine; you’ll leave with a sugar skull and a full stomach.

Sports fanatics, don’t forget the Predators just handed the Dallas Stars a wild game, and rumor has it, Nissan Stadium is prepping for Titans vs. Seahawks madness on November 23. If you spot a hockey player at Hattie B’s crushing hot chicken, snap a pic—they melt faster than the spicy sauce.

Music obsessives, scoop tickets for the November 27 All-Star Tribute to Anne Murray at the Grand Ole Opry House, featuring legends like Trisha Yearwood and k.d. lang. Meanwhile, The Listening Room Cafe’s writers’ rounds are where famous songs get born each night, fuelled by barbecue and rowdy applause.

Want your Nashville tales to go viral? Forever Field Day on November 22 at Riverfront Park promises cornhole battles, giant Jenga, and field day-style relay races for grown-ups who refuse to grow up. Not to mention all the goofy TikTok contests you can join—winner gets ultimate bragging rights (and possibly a trophy shaped like a chicken nugget).

For trendy adventures, grab a Big Drag Bus tour and parade down Broadway with local queens telling stories so wild your FitBit will track them as cardio. The Pontoon Saloon cruises the Cumberland River with live country and cocktails, while Crew Training Club offers first-timer classes for those ready to up their fitness game and dodge the dad-bod destiny.

Locals love a secret, and Nashville’s got plenty: try bowling at Pinewood Social, play vintage pinball at Game Terminal, hunt murals in The Gulch, or go vintage biking at Shelby Bottoms Greenway. Feeling charitable? Centennial Park’s Parthenon is hosting Nashville Volunteer Week, where you can give back and eat your weight in food truck snacks.

That’s Nashville: vibrant, wild, endlessly entertaining—and as immersive as a banjo in a pool of moonshine. Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks. For more content like this, please go to Quiet Please dot Ai.
