John Early | Jun 6 | City Winery | Nashville Scene

Fifteen years ago, hundreds of children gathered every day to see John Early live at 2000 Edgehill Ave. Soon he will host his own HBO standup special. Thanks in part to a hilariously desperate Twitter post last week, the second leg of Early’s tour is selling out quickly.

Fifteen years ago, hundreds of children gathered every day to see John Early live at 2000 Edgehill Ave. Parents paid $10,000 a year back then for their kids to be part of Early’s captive audience at University School of Nashville, where today’s consummate live entertainer honed his chops as a qu...

I’m With the Banned | Jun 6 | Nashville Scene

The Next Chapter Society is hosting an evening of live music and cocktails to support Nashville Public Library's commitment to the freedom to read.

Well, we’ve reached a chapter in the dystopian playbook where we’re facing a banned-book movement. It’s bonkers. I can’t begin to comprehend why the bans are happening, so let’s turn to music. Art is the antidote to numbness after all. The Next Chapter Society is hosting an evening of live...

Cid Bullens: 'Transelectric' | Jun 6 | Nashville Scene

By any measure, singer-songwriter Cidny Bullens has lived an extraordinary life — touring with Sir Elton John, performing with Bob Dylan and even earning a Grammy nomination for lead vocals on the soundtrack to the 1978 blockbuster film 'Grease.' Bullens captures it all in his engaging new memoir, 'TransElectric: My Life as a Cosmic Rock Star.'

By any measure, singer-songwriter Cidny Bullens has lived an extraordinary life — touring with Sir Elton John, performing with Bob Dylan and even earning a Grammy nomination for lead vocals on the soundtrack to the 1978 blockbuster film Grease. But as is so often the case, some of his life’s mos...

Stoner noir fans will have the opportunity to witness the genre’s genesis on the big screen with upcoming showings of Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye as part of the Belcourt’s series on the films of 1973. This ambling anti-mystery caused frustration among many first-time viewers — myself in...

'Bluey’s Big Play' | Jun 3 | Nashville Scene

'Bluey’s Big Play' features gigantic plush puppets of the show’s 2D characters, a cascade of balloons released into the audience for a game of “Keepy Uppy,” and bubbles raining down from the ceiling. I don’t know who will love it more: me or the kids.

Bluey is the one kids’ show you’ll catch me watching when my children aren’t in the room. Or, as my 9-year-old says, “It’s the only baby show that’s not cringe.” (Everyone’s a critic.) The cartoon follows an Australian blue heeler puppy and her lovable family through a series of funn...

“It’s already going to be hard to change the narrative, but I’m here to fight for it. I will use all of my breath preaching on why we need this in all communities, instead of just ours.” -Shamar Gunn

Our Syringe Service Program coordinators, Shamar Gunn and Kyle Oliver, were featured in Nashville Scene's article dedicated to highlighting local organizations that promote harm reduction.
