Live music pulses through Nashville this week, and listeners can dive right in. The Long Players perform classic hits at 3rd & Lindsley on Saturday, August 16, and the same night Proxima Parada brings soulful grooves to The Basement East, offering up-close, vibrant energy at 8 p.m. Ticket prices are friendly, and this show captures what makes Nashville a destination for music lovers. On Thursday, August 21, Teddy Swims’ “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour” delivers powerhouse vocals at Ascend Amphitheater, while Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox turns Ryman Auditorium into a vintage pop time machine, showcasing musical reinvention in the city’s historic “Mother Church of Country Music.” Locals swear by a backstage tour at the Ryman, where centuries of country legends linger just behind the velvet curtain.
Nashville’s creative heartbeat doesn’t stop at music venues. Broadway’s Dolly: An Original Musical is at The Fisher Center through August 17, featuring hits and new stories penned by Dolly Parton herself for a deeply Nashville experience. For those seeking unscripted fun in August, songwriter showcases at 3rd & Lindsley and improv jams at The Basement promise surprise discoveries. The venue’s “New Faces Night” introduces listeners to the city’s up-and-coming voices—future stars in an intimate setting with minimal fuss.
Sports fans grab a slice of the city’s competitive edge. Vanderbilt University hosts soccer and volleyball home openers this week, inviting fans to Memorial Gymnasium and local fields for lively match nights. Soccer followers won't want to miss Nashville SC’s ticket release for the historic Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal; the match at newly-opened GEODIS Park is a major milestone. Tours of GEODIS Park show off the largest soccer-specific stadium in the country, with architectural splendor and behind-the-scenes access to locker rooms and press boxes—a treat for sports and history enthusiasts alike.
Get outdoors with a stroll through Centennial Park where the full-scale Parthenon replica doubles as both a monument and art gallery. Locals point out secluded paths along the Cumberland River Greenway for city views, or invite newcomers to kick-start the morning with paddle-board rentals on the river, watching downtown’s skyline glimmer at sunrise. Art lovers head to The Frist Art Museum, set in a stunning Art Deco former post office, where interactive galleries and rotating exhibitions mix classic and contemporary. The venues along 12 South and East Nashville flaunt vibrant mural art ideal for one-of-a-kind photos.
Nashville’s culinary scene matches its creativity. Biscuit Love, especially in the Gulch, lures listeners with Southern brunch, and Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack fries up fiery original Nashville hot chicken. For hidden gems, try the chef-driven tasting menus at Husk or explore farmer’s markets for fresh, spontaneous bites. Food halls like Assembly Food Hall offer everything from barbecue to vegan delights, while locals recommend heading underground to Skull’s Rainbow Room for live jazz and classic cocktails in Printer’s Alley.
Listeners should check the event calendars often, as pop-up shows and surprise celebrity performances are common—particularly at small bars like Bluebird Cafe or anywhere a guitar can be plugged in. Nashville feels alive and unpredictable; every night offers a new favorite memory, whether in packed music halls, streets buzzing with mural art, rooftop cocktail spots, or tucked-away food joints where the flavors and stories are uniquely Music City.
