Brothers Osborne fans know what to expect from their live shows: Loud country music that feels like pure rock and roll. From start to finish, a Brothers Osborne show delivers booming vocals on anthemic songs, face-melting guitar licks, and a rowdy good time. With that in mind, the Brothers—TJ and John Osborne—set out to make their third studio album, Skeletons, a celebration of their live performances. Complete with a track list that plays like a setlist and their entire band in the studio for the recording process. The Jay Joyce produced album, available October 9, was in fact the first time Brothers Osborne included their touring band on a record. But judging by the results it won’t be the last. “We’re a duo, John and I, but we treat our…

Know Thy Farmer July 2013 “In the early days of Nashville’s dining boom, we tapped five chefs to write essays about the farmers they couldn’t live without. It was fascinating to read their tributes—to Bells Bend, Wedge Oak Farm, Bloomsbury, and others—and I love seeing that so many of those partnerships are still thriving today.” Nashville Food Lover’s Guide November 2016 “Putting out a magazine takes a village. This feature gave me so much joy because of the many fun collaborations we had along the way—from the small food businesses we highlighted, to the research, design, and photo shoot. Nashville is packed with creative talent and it’s been the pleasure of my career to have been able to partner with so many remarkable individuals over the years.” Most Beautiful People…

We’re lucky here in Tennessee to have a full range of seasons. And this time of year, when the fall foliage hits, we have plenty of spots within a few hours’ drive to take it all in. These four drive-worthy destinations are just right for taking in the best of what Mother Nature has to offer this time of year. Just be sure to check local websites for visitor guidelines before you hit the road. Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, North Carolina A long ribbon of a road, the Blue Ridge Parkway cuts through some of the most stunning scenery from Virginia to North Carolina. And while the entire Parkway itself offers vistas and stopping points, it’s easiest to cover small stretches at a time. Most of the Pisgah region stretches…

Shaun Burroughs describes his new home in Green Hills as “Mountain Modern,” a décor based in the prairie style started by Frank Lloyd Wright. “We’re standing on the shoulders of giants, but we bake in a special blend of details and accents to make it our own,” says the cofounder of Build Nashville. That special blend of details includes varying heights of rooflines with large overhangs, giving the home a clean, bold look. On the exterior of the home, the material palette is a mix of brick, stucco, wood, and a modern take on board and batten. Differing shapes and sizes of windows and doors help to modernize the elevation and sets Build Nashville homes apart from typical prairie-style houses. A modern twist on a grand staircase creates the perfect…

As one of the top art dealers and owners of the oldest and one of the most respected art galleries in Nashville for over 33 years, Stan Mabry is also a blackbelt and seven-time World Champion in Brazilian Jiu jitsu. The two fields seem miles apart, but for Mabry, the philosophies behind them are the same. “In order to succeed in any field in life, you have to focus on the task at hand, make a commitment, be consistent in your purpose, and persist despite all the obstacles that may come your way,” he says. “This is where my passion for providing quality art meets martial arts. You have to keep on fighting the fight.” Mabry grew up in North Carolina, where he attended the University of North Carolina and…

It’s been months since executive chef Bobby Hammock has been able to cook for guests visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame. While the Museum has re-opened, both the restaurant, 2/22, and the event spaces that Hammock oversees remain closed—but that’s given the normally busy chef the opportunity to cook in his own kitchen. “It’s not a bad thing,” he says. “It’s what I love and it’s good to practice in a home kitchen instead.” This fall, he might pull out this savory beef recipe, which is a hit with event guests. The braised beef short ribs turn out full of flavor and incredibly tender. “It’s not a filet mignon, but there’s so much marbling in the ribs, which brings the flavor. And, short ribs can be less expensive,” Hammock…

The Catbird Seat turns nine years old this month. That’s nine years of mind-blowing innovation on the plate from six different chefs who have poured their hearts out while under the eye of onlooking guests. Nine years of wild menus and sometimes wilder soundtracks. Nine years of transition, interpretation, and expression. Nine years, and still the most coveted reservation in town. Now, pandemic be damned, was as good a time as any to usher in a new chef. After the abrupt departure of chefs Will Aghajanian and Liz Johnson in March, the restaurant sat as silent as the rest of the world for a few months, until incoming executive chef Brian Baxter returned from Atlanta to take the helm. Baxter, who has worked at both Husk and Bastion (as well…

Nestled in historic Germantown, Truman Grey Salon and Market might catch your eye as a trendy local salon and market. But, when husbands and co-owners Adam Hayes and Naresh Patel combined the best of each of their visions, they created an authentic community experience far beyond what meets the eye.

Hayes also serves as shop designer while Patel doubles as a master stylist. Together, they have meshed their talents to create a space that offers something for everyone. “We’re definitely a perform-and-function collaboration, so Adam would have the ideas and I would figure out how I thought they should be implemented and then we’d go…

East Side Banh Mi This gleaming new fast-casual eatery on Gallatin Avenue is a bright and cheerful Vietnamese spot for sandwiches, salads, and bowls.
