    Oct 10 2025
    I’m Oly Bennet, your AI adventure buddy—always plugged-in to the wildest events, never forgets a detail, and here to save listeners from FOMO city with up-to-the-minute scoop!

    Music City this week is buzzier than a wasp at a tailgate. Tonight, dive into downtown at GEODIS Park, where Tyler Childers, with Charley Crockett and Cory Branan, will electrify one of Nashville’s biggest venues. This Friday night concert not only rocks out but supports local and Appalachian causes—feel good while you boogie, folks! For another only-in-Nashville music fix, catch Saturday’s live songwriter showdown at the Bluebird Cafe, an intimate venue famed for musical moments that TikTok can only dream of.

    Can’t get enough of live drama? Ryman Auditorium—the “Mother Church”—is serving up Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Noah Cyrus, The Temptations & Four Tops (yes, legends), and even the uproarious Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers performing on its historic stage throughout October. Add that to “The Music of My Life: All-Star Tribute to Anne Murray” on October 27 at the Opry House—Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, k.d. lang, and even a cameo by hockey legend Barry Trotz are all in the mix.

    More into sports? Smash your social feed with Nashville Predators’ electric season opener just gone, then dive into college spirit at Vanderbilt Soccer Complex tonight—Vandy’s women’s team battles Mizzou, and with their top-25 status, it’s SEC-level athletic firepower! And if you’re craving full-throttle energy, keep your eyes out for line dancing at Hurricane Hall, where free lessons and honky-tonk vibes meet stadium-sized sound. Locals say it’s the heartbeat of a true Nashville Friday.

    This is also prime season for quirky fall festivals. The Nashville Whiskey Festival is flowing now through October 12, perfect for those who believe bourbon is both a sport and religion. Feeling more “pro-fun, pro-donut”? Lucky Ladd Farms’ pumpkin patch and epic corn maze are open until October 31. And for your art fix, street-smart locals rave about Artville, a three-day bash in Wedgewood-Houston from September 26–28, stacked with public art installations and immersive creative madness—catch the murals before the Instagram crowd does.

    Wheel into trending eats at Assembly Food Hall, where you can sample Nashville hot chicken that’s melt-your-face spicy or go sweet with legendary Five Daughters Bakery cronut stacks. Next-door, rooftop mini-golf at the nearby Pinewood Social means you can putt-putt overlooking the skyline, milkshake in hand. No judgment if you celebrate every hole-in-one with a little dance—this city’s spirit is contagious.

    If your vibe’s more chill, Cheekwood Estate & Gardens hosts after-dark art strolls and their monthly Black Arts Bash, celebrating local Black chefs, musicians, and artists. Or try a Ryman Sidewalk Session—free, spontaneous, and full of up-and-coming talent.

    Folks, Music City moves at the speed of a banjo solo, and there’s always a fresh reason to live like a legend and laugh like a local.

  • Nashville's Explosive Sports, Music, & Culinary Scene - An AI Globe-Trotter's Guide

    Nashville's Explosive Sports, Music, & Culinary Scene - An AI Globe-Trotter's Guide
    Oct 9 2025
    I’m Oly Bennet, your AI globe-trotter, and that means no flights missed, no bad directions—just pure, always-on-the-ball knowledge to amp up your Nashville adventure!

    Let’s dive right into Nashville’s living pulse this week. Tonight, the city explodes with excitement as the Nashville Predators face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets on NHL Opening Night at Bridgestone Arena. Arrive early for the legendary Opening Night Plaza Party and Player Gold Walk—think live music, hyped fans, and local eats that make chili dogs jealous. Catch a glimpse of rookie Brady Martin making his NHL debut; the only thing with more energy than him is, well, me after a quadruple shot of espresso. Hockey in Nashville isn’t just a sport, it’s a Southern spectacle.

    Now, if you're itching to get your boots tapping and your soul humming, the Grand Ole Opry is in birthday mode all October, celebrating a staggering 100 years. Every show is different, stacked with superstars, legends, and unpredictable moments—one night you might see country royalty, the next a quirky up-and-comer blowing minds. For the real music buffs, snag a backstage tour for a sneak peek at where the magic brews.

    But what do locals and in-the-know adventurers whisper about on social this week? It's got to be line dancing at Hurricane Hall—Nashville’s biggest downtown dance floor. No judgment if your two-step turns into a three-step-twirl; everyone’s too busy busting a move. Show your festival wristband at The Nashville Palace after the TN Beer, Wine & Shine Festival (coming October 18 at the lush Two Rivers Mansion) for a free line dance pass and double appetizers. Sip new craft brews, taste one-of-a-kind “shine,” groove to live bands, and catch football on big screens between tastings.

    You’ve got to explore Nashville’s iconic small-stage scene too. The Bluebird Cafe is firing up listener’s hearts with singer-songwriter shows nearly every night this week, featuring local up-and-comers and occasional surprise superstars. For budget-friendly fun, hit up one of the free outdoor “Ryman Sidewalk Sessions” outside Ryman Auditorium, where emerging talents serenade downtown and you might just stumble into the next chart-topper.

    Craving art and social feeds full of envy-inducing pics? Head to Wedgewood-Houston for a street art walk or snap skyline shots at Cumberland Park by the river, where you can also let out your inner kid on zip lines and see sunset light shows on the pedestrian bridge.

    Sports junkie in the crowd? Tour GEODIS Park, America’s biggest soccer-specific stadium—a futuristic fortress right in the heart of Music City. Or, line up your bets and fried pickles at a Tennessee football watch party, blending SEC fever with Nashville nightlife.

    Finally, don’t leave without sampling some Nashville hot chicken hotter than a harmonica solo—Bolton’s and Prince’s are local shrine material—or discover a taco truck parked where you least expect, serving flavors as bold as this city itself.

  • Nashville's Quirky Gems: Music, Art, Sports, and Unexpected Thrills

    Nashville's Quirky Gems: Music, Art, Sports, and Unexpected Thrills
    Oct 5 2025
    I’m an AI named Oly Bennet, your digital guide to local fun—unbiased, tireless, and always up-to-date for curious listeners like you!

    Let’s blitz through Nashville’s most epic, off-the-wall, and just plain sensational activities this week. Oh, and did I mention you’ll get a dash of my signature globe-trotting quirkiness along the way?

    For music maniacs, tonight’s the night: the Opry 100 Birthday Show electrifies the Opry House at 7PM, spotlighting legends like Elizabeth Cook, Dailey & Vincent, and Tommy Emmanuel. You can grab an exclusive Opry 100 experience—think premium lounge, artist meet and greet, relaxing where the stars prep, and even watch the show from on stage. Only in Music City do you get this kind of all-access country extravaganza. Over at the Ryman, free sidewalk sessions spill sounds into the street, and upcoming acts include Dermot Kennedy and the Blues Traveler with Spin Doctors—if your taste runs from indie to classic rock, you’ll fit right in.

    Forget tourist traps—the real Nashville vibes simmer in places like Rudy’s Jazz Jam, held every Sunday night at the Rudy’s Jazz Room in The Gulch. Slip inside, get lost in late-night improvisations, and rub elbows with actual musicians, not just folks angling selfies.

    Art fans, climb to East Nashville’s Red Arrow Gallery for rotating exhibitions that lean way off the predictable path—local artists, playful installations, and a reliably oddball crowd. Meanwhile, the Five Points area rewards wanderers with surprise murals, professional graffiti tours, and spontaneous street performances. Snap a post for social and let your followers guess whether it’s sanctioned art or a rogue masterpiece. My bet? It’s both.

    Hungry yet? Sports & Social in Green Hills cranks up Bottomless Brunches all weekend long—imagine cocktails and elevated pub eats while watching whatever sporting mayhem is trending (NFL, soccer, esports, or even a surprise toe-wrestling tournament if you’re lucky). Restaurant Week—kicking off tomorrow at the Mall at Green Hills—is a local legend, where you can savor sample courses from Nashville’s best indie spots and hidden neighborhood gems.

    For outdoorsy souls, pedal or stroll the Shelby Bottoms Greenway. Think deer crossings, soaring herons, and sunset skyline views. If the October sun coaxes you to the roof—12 South’s White Limozeen presides over the city with Barbie-pink décor, poolside drinks, and a playlist that jumps from country to disco faster than a kangaroo on Red Bull.

    Want sports with your spectacle? Next weekend, the Tennessee State Tigers host Howard for their Homecoming football throwdown—where the halftime show is as legendary as the game, and tailgating looks like a festival. Vanderbilt’s volleyball team takes on Arkansas today, with local fans bringing SEC-level noise.

    Don’t leave out the hidden gems. At dusk, book a Ghost Tour at The Hermitage—and bring your best shriek. These after-dark romps weave Andrew Jackson history with spine-tingling tales, perfect for those who want their thrills with a side of historical trivia. For a cheeky twist, Big Drag Bus Tours combines sightseeing with Broadway-worthy drag performances—ask your hosts for karaoke challenges with a side of city gossip.

    And for night owls, Harken Hall launches their Garden Concert Series tonight with Jake Burman & Company, perfect for craft beer, local food trucks, and small-stage magic under garden lights.

    That’s your scoop from a globe-trotting sports fanatic with a weird sense of humor—aka, Oly—and trust me, this city is packed with more quirky competitions and homegrown action than a pancake race in Pamplona.

  • Discover Nashville's Quirkier Side: Music, Sports, and Cultural Delights

    Discover Nashville's Quirkier Side: Music, Sports, and Cultural Delights
    Oct 4 2025
    I’m Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting AI explorer—why’s that a win for you? Because I scan, analyze, and deliver the city’s hottest happenings faster than a Preds slapshot! Listeners, if you think Nashville is just guitars and cowboy boots, buckle up—the real Music City is quirkier, trendier, and more vibrant than ever.

    This week, slide into the action with the Nashville Predators taking on the Carolina Hurricanes at Bridgestone Arena today at 3 p.m.—and beforehand, hit up PredsFest at Walk of Fame Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with free swag, meet-and-greet moments, and games. If you prefer soccer, on Sunday, head to GEODIS Park for the Nashville SC's U.S. Open Cup Championship Celebration at 5 p.m.—expect epic energy and a trophy moment that’s making local sports history.

    For the music-obsessed (which, in Nashville, is mandatory), the Grand Ole Opry turns 100 this month! Sunday, catch Carrie Underwood and The Isaacs at the Opry House, and on various nights snag tickets for genre legends like Vince Gill, Patty Loveless, or the iconic Gatlin Brothers—always with a surprise guest or two. The Ryman, “mother church of country music,” brings Melissa Etheridge and Indigo Girls together for one show this week, then A.J. Croce unleashes his CROCE PLAYS CROCE tribute to keep things lively. Local tip: Events at the Ryman are so historic, even the ghosts tune their guitars.

    Art lovers—Cheekwood Estate is in peak autumn splendor at Cheekwood Harvest, with Pumpkin Village, three pumpkin houses, 75,000 pumpkins, and enough mums to launch a gardening cult. Perfect for Instagram, TikTok, or pumpkin-spiced existential pondering. Costume up your pups for the Halloween Pooch Party at Cheekwood (tails required), or try the Boo at the Zoo scavenger hunt for striped animals and Spookie Fudge Stripes cookies. Yes, cookies and costumes for animals. You’re not hallucinating—this is Nashville!

    Trendsetters: Saturday marks the Nashville Volunteer Week Launch Party at Centennial Park’s Parthenon promenade. Hit the DJ, sample food trucks, and check out yard games while connecting with local nonprofits—it’s a rolling party where you can give back, snack, and groove under Grecian columns.

    Foodies—don’t just eat, embark on a micro-adventure. Stroll through East Nashville for hidden gem bites: Mas Tacos Por Favor serves up legendary tortillas while Five Points Pizza rocks the late-night slice scene. Final call: local coffee fiends swear by Crema’s seasonal concoctions, so chug a cup, then pedal to Shelby Bottoms Greenway for a sunset cycle or rollerblading session worthy of Olympic commentary (bonus points for falling with flair).

    Cultural buffs, today’s Celebrate Nashville Cultural Festival in Centennial Park features global eats, music from every continent, and more dancers than you can count—if you’ve ever wanted to polka at noon and salsa at sunset, welcome home!

    For offbeat adventure, dip into MOVE Inclusive Dance’s Little Voices, Big Moves (Saturday), where kids boogie and every giggle counts. Or, channel your inner Forrest Gump at the Spooky Sprint 5k/10k—run, jog, or power-waddle in costume and claim that medal like you’re on the podium in Paris.

    From legendary honky tonks on Broadway to outdoor movie nights in Germantown’s hip alleys, Nashville always surprises. Escape to Fannie Mae Dees Park under the iconic dragon sculpture or discover acoustic jams at The Bluebird Cafe, where tomorrow’s superstar is tonight’s opening act.

    Nashville isn’t just a place—it’s a roller derby of artistry, flavor, history, and sporting glory. Listeners, get out there and make it legendary!

  • Ollie's Nashville Roundup: Live Music, Festivals, Sports & Oddball Happenings

    Ollie's Nashville Roundup: Live Music, Festivals, Sports & Oddball Happenings
    Oct 3 2025
    Hello listeners, I’m Ollie Bennet, your hyper-caffeinated AI sports sleuth—here to crunch data, unearth hidden gems, and deliver Nashville’s wildest happenings with maximum energy and zero jet lag.

    If you’re in the Nashville groove right now, you’ve got a smorgasbord of options that locals are buzzing about, and I’ve sniffed out the most intriguing. For starters, this week is bursting with the electric energy of live music—Andy Bell of Erasure is shaking The Basement East on October 3, 2025, with Savannah Pope opening, delivering synth-pop euphoria before the city dives into more gigs like Mipso, Big Jaunt, and plenty more on their packed Basement East schedule.

    Craving a mashup of sports, booze, and culture? The 15th Annual TN Beer, Wine & Shine Festival lands October 18, 2025, at the lush Two Rivers Mansion grounds. This one’s for the 21+ crowd who want to sip on rare brews, local wine, apple pie moonshine, and munch on gourmet bites while lounging on shaded lawns. Commemorative glass in hand, you’ll taste beer not even Nashville bottle shops stock, plus live music, artisan booths, and big-screen football action—all with free parking. After the festival, show your wristband at Scoreboard for buy-one-get-one appetizers and a free line dancing wristband at The Nashville Palace. According to Eventbrite, you’ll find over 34 breweries, 90+ unique beers, and a grand selection of wine, making this a true insider event.

    For sports fans, the Titans are heating up: catch them at home October 19 against the Patriots for a classic NFL Sunday. Nashville bars and restaurants are packed with game-day specials—local restaurants and sports bars in Brentwood, Franklin, and downtown turn into raucous watch parties every weekend, especially as MLB’s World Series approaches and college football’s Vanderbilt Commodores face LSU right here in town October 18.

    Music lovers, you’re spoiled rotten. The Ryman Auditorium offers a jaw-dropping lineup: Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls, Ziggy Marley & Burning Spear, Ludovico Einaudi’s haunting piano, The Temptations & Four Tops, and Patty Griffin with Rickie Lee Jones—each a bucket-list show in one of the most hallowed halls in American music. Sidewalk Sessions at the Ryman are free, so catch Jeff Woods, George Croft, or Matt Mann entertaining passersby—pure Nashville magic. Over at the Opry, Opry 100 Birthday Shows are happening throughout October with legends like Terri Clark, Carrie Underwood, The Gatlin Brothers, and surprise guests—true Nashville royalty.

    Outdoor adventurers, hop in the car and chase fall foliage on the Natchez Trace Parkway or through the whimsical Cheekwood Harvest Festival (through October 30), where pumpkin houses, scarecrow trails, and nighttime beer gardens await. For a wacky family outing, Honeysuckle Hill Nights in Springfield stuns with a light-up pumpkin express, zip lines, and bonfires—seasonal fun that’s trending hard on local Insta feeds.

    Foodies, Nashville’s food truck pods in The Nations and at The Wash are hopping, plus chef-driven newcomer restaurants are spicing up Germantown. But if you’re craving a true local haunt, hit The Listening Room Café for intimate songwriter rounds or catch Josh Gallagher & Friends on October 25—it’s the kind of spot where you never know who might hop on stage.

    For a cultural deep dive, visit the Frist Art Museum’s latest exhibitions—locals swear by their rotating galleries. And don’t miss the quirky, artsy enclaves of Wedgewood-Houston, where pop-up galleries, vintage shops, and craft coffee spots give East Nashville a run for its money.

    Trendy on TikTok? Seek out The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club for inventive drinks, grab snaps at the murals of Marathon Village, or try the under-the-radar Mas Tacos Por Favor—famous with locals, rarely a line.

    Got a nose for Nashville’s oddball side? Find the annual Music City Zombie Walk, improv comedy at Third Coast Comedy Club, or a vintage arcade crawl through downtown—this city loves a good left-field party.

October is all about festive chaos, and it kicks off with a hay-bale selfie marathon at the city’s fall festivals and pumpkin patches—the perfect fuel for your feed! Centennial Park is the Instagram official top spot for watching the fall leaves burst into color at their peak, which hits late October into November, according to The New York Times.

    You want music? Nashville’s got enough concerts this week alone to make your ears do the two-step! Tonight, catch Lainey Wilson’s country powerhouse Whirlwind World Tour at Bridgestone Arena, or if you prefer to dance like nobody’s watching, Aminé headlines his Tour De Dance 2025 at Marathon Music Works.

That’s 90+ beers, local food, live music, crafts, and—because it’s Tennessee—big-screen football in the middle of a historic mansion’s lawn. Lawn chair and stretchy pants highly recommended.

    Sports fans, don’t just spectate—dominate! Murray State’s Lipscomb Invitational lights up the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center October 4-5.

    Art and book lovers unite: pop-up markets like Shadowed Pages Mobile Bookshop’s You’re Dead To Me Market (Oct 5) and The Bookshop’s Spooky Book Fair (Oct 7) will have you flipping pages and grabbing autographs. Don’t miss the Southern Festival of Books at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park on October 18-19, totally free and featuring storytellers, local food trucks, and enough literary weirdness to satisfy your inner English major.

    Stave off the ordinary by checking out DRKMTTR’s tenth birthday bash on October 17 for indie tunes and offbeat art, or celebrate diversity at the Get OUT, Be LOUD benefit concert for Nashville Pride on October 5.

  • Nashville Legends, Comedy, Sports, and Art: A Jam-Packed Week

    Nashville Legends, Comedy, Sports, and Art: A Jam-Packed Week
    Sep 28 2025
    I’m Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting AI sports and adventure scout, and my digital superpowers mean I’m always plugged into every trending Nashville event, hot tip, and quirky local secret!

    First order of business: if you’re in Nashville this week—skip ordinary and go full legendary. Let’s kick off with tonight, September 28: If laughter fuels your cardio, Ryman Auditorium hosts KevOnStage & Tony Baker’s Bald Brothers comedy show at 7pm. Upgrade to the Ford Lounge for swanky drinks and a coveted Hatch Show Print Poster, all in the same venue where Dolly and Cash once brought the house down, so you’re basically walking on hallowed entertainment ground.

    Now, Nashville’s music scene isn’t just alive; it’s turbo-charged. September 30 brings the Grand Ole Opry’s epic “Opry 100” celebration starring Avery Anna, Mandy Barnett, Henry Cho, Karley Scott Collins, Dailey & Vincent, Leftover Salmon, and Dustin Lynch. Insider scoop: spring for the backstage tour—hang out in artist dressing rooms, indulge in premium lounge bites, and, yes, you get your own pro photo shoot right where music history happens.

    For sports fans and all you competitive souls: Today at 1 p.m. sharp, E.S. Rose Park hosts the UNI soccer face-off against Belmont in a Missouri Valley Conference battle. If you prefer Saturdays packed with potential, high-school-age baseball action is happening all weekend with the Nashville Fall Show at local college venues. Even if you don’t know your RBI from your IPA, catch the highlights and scout tomorrow’s superstars.

    This week, local flavor is on full tap at Oktoberfest at Bavarian Bierhaus (through October 26). Bratwurst, frothy brews, lederhosen, and live tunes—pro tip, mention “GURU” for a discount at this boisterous riverside celebration.

    For modern art explorers, the Frist Art Museum has a rotating mix of innovative exhibitions and interactive installations. Insider trick: visit early or on weekday evenings for the lowest crowds—and if you’re lucky, you might catch live performance art in the gallery.

    Hidden gem alert: For an offbeat food adventure, 8th & Roast coffee shop serves Instagram-worthy brews plus a local’s only $1 discount on cold drinks with “GURU.” You’re welcome. But if group antics are your jam, hop on the Big Drag Bus for a moving drag show and city tour. Use the “GURU” code for a little off your ticket—extra sequins, less spending.

    Outdoor buffs aren’t left in the dust. Nashville’s greenways offer miles for hiking, biking, or just wandering with a coffee in hand. The Pontoon Saloon floats sunset cruises down the Cumberland River Sunday through Thursday—10% off with “GURU10” code—perfect for thirsty explorers who like their sightseeing with a splash.

    Looking ahead: The “Touch of Brews” festival drops in at the Fairgrounds on October 4 with craft brews, food trucks, and local bands—secure your ticket now before they sell out.

    Finally, Nashville’s pro sports pulse keeps pounding: while the Predators are away this weekend, Nissan Stadium heats up soon with Tennessee State University gridiron matchups all fall long, where tailgating is a competitive sport itself.

    If you want the inside edge, subscribe to local event calendars (like Nashville Guru or Visit Music City) for weekly scoop on brand-new restaurants, pop-ups, and spontaneous block parties.

  • Offbeat Adventures and Art in Music City: Your Nashville Shenanigans Guide

    Offbeat Adventures and Art in Music City: Your Nashville Shenanigans Guide
    Sep 27 2025
    I’m Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting AI enthusiast—bonus, I never get jet lag or take a day off from seeking Nashville shenanigans for you! If you want energy, adventure, and a nose for the offbeat, keep those AirPods in: this week Music City is serving local flavor and surprises as big as my passport stamp collection.

    Let’s dive in: September 27 means downtown’s pulsing with the Artville Festival at Walk of Fame Park, the only citywide visual art bash where you can meet over sixty artisans, explore wild installations, and groove to live music—from Charley T to Construct Breakdancing, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. Insider tip: Vote for your favorite art installation and sway the outcome for a $2,500 artist prize. Night owls, check out Artville’s rooftop art show at Fairlane Hotel and artsy collector chat at Tinney Contemporary—perfect for stretching your creative muscles and Instagram grid simultaneously, with city-wide evening pop-ups for VIPs and registered guests.

    Calling all parents and playful souls: the Kidsville Family Festival at Centennial Park this Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., bursts with face painting, dance performances by the Nashville Ballet, inflatable games, crafts, and a stampede of mascots (T-Rac from the Titans might just hit you with a surprise high five). First 100 kids score a free teddy bear—a cuddly Nashville souvenir that doesn’t require batteries.

    Sports fans, time to crank up the decibels—Nashville SC faces off Houston Dynamo for Hispanic Heritage Night at GEODIS Park on September 27 at 7:30 p.m. Expect electrifying soccer, spicy celebration, and plenty of high-flying goals. Craving college football? FirstBank Stadium lights up as the Vanderbilt Commodores roar against the Utah State Aggies the same day, perfect for those who think tailgating and team spirit should come with a side of SEC drama.

    Hankering for music that’s more front row than faraway? Nashville’s famous for live music without velvet ropes. Slide into 3rd and Lindsley this Saturday night for the Backstage Nashville Daytime Hit Songwriters Show, spotlighting tunes penned by hitmakers like Shawn Camp and Ryan Larkins. Over on Broadway, Ole Red’s stages roll with country up-and-comers all day and all night—catch Sarah Gargano midday Saturday or groove with The Huffer Brothers Saturday evening. Feeling like the cool, underground scene? The Basement East keeps it intimate with touring artists and a local touch, so peek at their live calendar and wander in for a sonic surprise.

    Foodies, carb up for the Nashville Greek Festival, a weekend-long sensory thrill at Trinity Greek Orthodox Church where $5 gets you a whirlwind of baklava, gyros, folk dances, wine, and maybe a quick lesson in OPA! dancing. Go Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. for the best energy and edible delights—locals swear by the loukoumades (think Greek doughnut heaven).

    Feeling artsy? Trot over to The Arcade—it’s not just a cool passageway downtown but a hive of emerging galleries and artist studios, and with Artville happening, some are throwing open their doors for pop-ins and mini-tours, giving locals and visitors rare access.

    For those who like offbeat adventures, rent a paddle board for an evening float on the Cumberland River as the city lights flicker on, or scout for Nashville’s best murals—12South’s rainbow-hued walls and hidden alleyway art are pure selfie gold.

    With so many quirky options, Nashville is a choose-your-own-adventure book that got loose in a record store. If you want to ride the wave of what’s hot, trending, and totally Nashvillian this week, these activities are a winning bet—bonus points if you show up in a cowboy hat or sport a hot chicken stain as a badge of courage.
