This weekend is loaded with great events. Check out these 5 happenings in Davidson County.
1. The Listening Room Anniversary Party with Josh Melton and Friends
Saturday, March 19, 8:30pm
217 2nd Ave S, Nashville, TN
The Listening Room Cafe
The Listening Room Cafe was founded in 2006 in historic Franklin. Chris Blair, owner and singer/songwriter himself, decided to open a venue because he was playing his own music around Nashville and could not find a place that he felt had the sound and atmosphere that Nashville artists deserved. The Franklin location quickly became a local favorite pulling in huge songwriters from Music Row that started calling it “the Bluebird Cafe outside of Nashville.” Wanting to continue that buzz, Blair decided to move the location closer to downtown Nashville and Music Row. After four successful years in Cummins Station, Blair decided to close the doors in August of 2012 to begin a six month build out of his newly acquired building where The Listening Room stands today.

Paul Vasterling’s nationally acclaimed Lucy Negro Redux returns to the stage after debuting in 2019 with three sold out performances. This groundbreaking work explores the mysterious love life of literary great William Shakespeare through the perspective of the illustrious “Dark Lady” for whom many of his famed sonnets were written. Based on the book and narrated live by Nashville poet Caroline Randall Williams, the contemporary ballet explores themes of love, otherness, equality, and beauty on an imaginative journey brimming with wit and relevancy. Hailed “an amalgamation of Shakespearean-era Renaissance..banjos, blues, and work songs,” Lucy Negro Redux features an original score by GRAMMY Award-winning artist and MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient Rhiannon Giddens.
