As of 2017, the Nashville Zoo housed 375 different species and 2,675 individual animals—naturally, this Tennessee attraction spends a lot of money on food. Specifically, thousands of pounds of lettuce. To help fund everything from food to water bills, the zoo is hosting its fourth annual Red, White & Zoo wine-tasting event on July 27, at 7 p.m. Guests are invited to roam the zoo grounds and explore select exhibits, while sipping on wine samples from all over the world. The animals will be out until dusk for this special, after-hours event, and zookeepers will be available to answer any questions. This fundraiser gives adults the full zoo experience, but without the heat and chaos of a summer daytime trip. “It’s really just a very relaxed, strolling type of event,”…

RODNEY CROWELL Acoustic Classics Songwriting troubadour Crowell revisits a batch of his personal favorites, stripping down 12 literary-quality tracks, made famous by artists, like Waylon Jennings, Bob Seger, and Keith Urban, to show why he’s been called the “Mark Twain of American roots music.” RAYLAND BAXTER Wide Awake Indie rocker Baxter spent three months in an abandoned rubber-band factory in Franklin, Kentucky, emerging with a mix of frenetic energy, folk journalism, and theatrical pop, which questions modern society (“Strange American Dream”) and politics (“79 Shiny Revolvers”). KENNY CHESNEY Songs for the Saints Chesney returns with his 17th set of optimistic country on this album, inspired by the havoc Hurricane Irma wreaked on his Virgin Islands home—and the resilience of the people affected. Banjo rocker “Get Along” leads as a stadium-sized…

Owen Clark wants to upgrade your leather goods. The Southwest Colorado native constructs Western-tooled knife sheaths, guitar straps, belts, wallets, and other built-to-order wares. Clark is a cross-disciplinary talent, who focuses on workmanship, whether he’s in the cookhouse or saddle-stitching at his in-home studio. Clark’s upbringing on a horse ranch inspired a lifelong fascination with Western-style tooled leather-work and saddlery. But Clark first followed a different passion: putting his artistry to work in the kitchen. After several years as chef de cuisine at Rolf and Daughters, preceded by positions in New York at wd-50, Blue Hill, A Voce Restaurant, and Gwynnett St., Clark says he wanted to be a part of a creative outlet that was more singularly focused, with fewer working parts. “I’ve gotten back in to drawing more…

Here are 12 of our favorites. —Margaret Littman 1 HIDDEN UNDER THE JOHNNY CASH MUSEUM IS HOUSE OF CARDS, A RESTAURANT AND MAGIC CLUB WHERE YOU CAN WITNESS SLEIGHTS OF HAND, INTERACT WITH MENTALISTS, AND EVEN MAKE REQUESTS OF A PIANO-PLAYING GHOST.

Doctors are often asked for medical advice by their friends. Interestingly, with DR. JOY COX, an OB-GYN who specializes in urogynecology and minimally invasive surgery at Heritage Medical Associates, it’s her eye for art that her friends request. “There’s a side of me that loves visual arts, too,” Cox says. “I have scientific and artistic sides in my brain.” It was those dueling traits that led Cox to double-major in fine arts and molecular biology at Vanderbilt. Artistic as a child, Cox’s aspiration to become a doctor also developed at a young age. It was a desire to help people that edged out medicine over art. Once in medical school, Cox realized she enjoyed surgery. It was the artistic side of her that made her want to work with her…

While in high school in Selma Ala, Dr. Casey’s football coach always encouraged him to see the local chiropractor for any injuries because he felt it always returned his players to the field much quicker the following week. As a result, Dr. Casey had been introduced to the practice at a fairly young age. As an undergrad at Auburn University, DR. CASEY was in pre-veterinary medicine when he decided to change his major. Eagerly wanting to choose something in the health care field that would afford him the opportunity to exercise his entrepreneurial endeavors, he chose Chiropractic. It’s rapid growth and appeal to him through offering the public a non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical approach to health was the additional facilitating factor. Since that decision, he never looked back. Voted Best Chiropractic…

From the time he was 13 years old, New Orleans native ROBBY KLEIN has had a camera in his hand, usually in pursuit of documenting his surroundings in the deep south. In 2011, ten months after marrying his junior high sweetheart, Klein and his new wife, Jady packed their bags and moved to Nashville. Here, he works as an entertainment and advertising photographer who regularly shoots country music artists, television and film stars, and entertainers—including Bobby Bones for Nashville Lifestyles.

“The most important thing about being a record producer is knowing where the best Thai food is in town,” Steve Fishell jokes. Lunch recommendations near Music Row aren’t the only thing he’s willing to share, though. The Grammy-winning producer recently launched Imagine Recordings, allowing guests to witness a 90-minute song-recording session at Sound Stage Studios—the only experience of its kind in Music City. (imaginerecordings.com) Age: 64 Music man: Fishell’s experience lies in all facets of the industry, from playing pedal steel guitar for Emmylou Harris to producing albums for Willie Nelson. Since Nashville’s music scene thrives on collaboration, he passionately believes in sharing this process with the public. “There’s a velvet curtain surrounding how music is made,” he says. “We pull it aside and invite people in to a live…

Each time she makes an album, Lori McKenna likes to have one song that acts as a focal point, a foundation upon which she can build the entire project—and, on her latest album, The Tree, she’s keeping it in the family. Inspired by her dad, the song, “People Get Old,” is a timeline, exploring how children see their parents from different vantage points as time goes on, and how those roles change. “To me, it’s about growing up and how we have our parents in these different stages,” McKenna says. “We’re in a different stage, but so are they.” The 49-year-old musician, who penned “Humble and Kind” for Tim McGraw and co-wrote Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush,” had her family in mind when she went to a writing camp in…

Growing up in an extended family of physicians, DR. UTPAL PATEL says the seeds of medicine were planted very young. “I didn’t really have a Plan B,” he says, laughing. “My grandfather, aunts, and uncles were doctors, and, from a young age, I knew that’s what I would do.” Patel is an internist practicing in the Murfreesboro Medical Clinic and Surgery Center. This 75-person, multi-specialty group includes 14 internal medicine and family practice providers.

DR. BRADY HARRIS is a triple board certified cosmetic surgeon who specializes in facial and body cosmetic procedures. He was recently invited and plans to lecture at the World Academy of Cosmetic Surgery conference in Vienna, Austria for his expertise in facial and body cosmetic surgery. While training with the top cosmetic surgeons in the country, Dr. Harris realized that many of the latest surgical cosmetic techniques and technologies were not used in the Nashville area. “I decided to build Image Surgical Arts in Nashville because of the volume of patients that were travelling to Chattanooga, TN from Nashville and Atlanta for my specialty cosmetic procedures like High Definition Liposuction. I felt there was an opportunity to bring my surgical skills to Nashville so patients don’t have to leave their…

A diagnosis of breast cancer can be overwhelming at first. You are suddenly concerned about survival, your family, your responsibilities, your body, and your future. Breast surgical oncologist DR. PAT WHITWORTH and his staff at the Nashville Breast Center are dedicated to making the journey from diagnosis to healthy and happy survivor as easy as possible. “First, we make sure a woman knows most patients with breast cancer are cured and go on to live normal lives. Furthermore, most patients do not need chemotherapy. We have molecular genomic tumor profiling to tell us who benefits from chemotherapy and who doesn’t. So, we recommend chemotherapy only for those patients who have a potentially life-saving benefit,” Whitworth says. “Our guiding principle is to match the treatment to the patient, considering her individual…

If social media gives any indication on where to be, then Vivek Surti’s fans drop fried chicken photos on Instagram like breadcrumbs to follow on a path to bliss. Earlier this year, Surti of VEA Supper Club held a residency at The Treehouse Restaurant in East Nashville on Sundays, when the space is usually closed. Surti made an arrangement with the restaurant’s owners to swoop in, with mostly his own staff, and serve a brunch menu. Food lovers, bloggers, and restaurateurs followed for his Indian-style chicken, with bright slices of lime, and banana bread scattered with buckwheat and honey, alongside jammy eggs, nested inside bowls of savory porridge, sesame greens, and kimchi. But this was hardly Surti’s first time as internet (or real life) sensation. He’s hosted more than 70…

“WHAT I REALIZED IS THAT NO ONE REALLY FITS IN ANYWHERE.” Bobby Bones is one of the most powerful and popular radio DJs in country music—or any format, for that matter—but the syndicated radio show host, who averages about 5 million listeners a show, won’t tell you that. Instead, the namesake of “The Bobby Bones Show” will use his trademark style of self-deprecating humor to play down his accolades. He’ll even tell you about all the times he screwed up, which he does in his new book, Fail Until You Don’t, a surprisingly fun and encouraging read, for all its talk of failure. As he shared in his first New York Times best-seller, Bare Bones: I’m Not Lonely If You’re Reading This Book, Bones (né Bobby Estell) grew up in…

A clock sits on the edge of DR. ERIC SHINOHARA’S desk in his basement office in the Preston Research Building at Vanderbilt. It’s not just any clock. It was handcrafted by a patient as a way of thanking Shinohara for the gift of time. Shinohara is medical director of Radiation Oncology at Vanderbilt. He sees patients struggling with a cancer diagnosis and says that the field of oncology has altered the way he views time. “Time is different from a patient’s perspective. The passage of time and the setting of goals change when you have cancer,” Shinohara says. “I may not be able to provide a cure, but it’s still a win if you can get your patient to their daughter’s wedding, for instance. That clock is a daily reminder…

At his Taqueria del Sol restaurants, two of which are in Nashville, chef Eddie Hernandez mashes up Southern and Mexican cuisines in ways that buck traditions, but still make total sense. “Southern food […] is very similar to good Mexican cuisine,” he writes in his cookbook, Turnip Greens & Tortillas, which is brimming with approachable recipes that mimic the tacos, cheese dips, salads, and cocktails he serves at his restaurants. This recipe for a green pea salad, for example, is similar to what you’d find in any Southern kitchen, but it has the added kick of roasted chiles, which Hernandez cooks with frequently. “Each dish, each recipe has a story to tell. Some of them tell of a time in my life, or of my business partner’s, but they all…
