Innholdsfortegnelse for August 2015 i Nashville Lifestyles Magazine

“East Nashville has a flavor of its own, that’s a given,” says Katie Wolf, owner of KT Wolf Gallery. “Part of that comes from so many great spaces, which house local art, and from all of the talented artists that live in the area. So we wanted to find a way to get people out to experience what East Nashville has to offer.” The result is the East Side Art Stumble, which launched in April and takes place on the second Saturday of each month from 6 to 10 p.m. Multiple locations participate with the goal of showing off local galleries and artists in a unified approach. Stumblers can view the area’s multifaceted artistic offerings, from museum-quality exhibitions to folk art—and every time you go, you’ll stumble upon something new.…

By now, Maddie & Tae have proved themselves as an exciting breakout actthey’ve got an ACM nom, one of 2014’s biggest country hits, and a new single called “Fly” that’s soaring up the charts. But until this month, one very important asset eluded them: a full-length album. With Start Here, due August 28, Maddie Marlow and Taylor Dye can officially settle into that exclusive top tier of today’s country artists. After being introduced by their vocal coach in Dallas five years ago, Marlow and Dye instantly knew they wanted to write and perform together in Music City. “I love Nashville so much I would have done anything just to get here,” says 19-year-old Dye, who hails from Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Texas native Marlow moved five days after receiving her high school…

Pilates isn’t just for strengthening and toning; it can be used to help—and in some cases, even reverse—debilitating conditions like scoliosis. Spiral Spine founder Erin Myers aims to educate others on the intricacies of scoliosis while inspiring those plagued with abnormal curvature of the spine through movement and improving their quality of life. “Most anyone diagnosed with scoliosis has been told to ‘watch and wait,’ but I’m living proof that you can take an active role in determining how your scoliosis affects your everyday life, for the rest of your life,” the former Radio City Rockette says. Myers has developed a range of products and online services that include Hard Core Scoli, a workout DVD and download, and a Scoliometer app for measuring ribcage and vertebral rotation. She also holds…

When it came to their 10-year-old son Oden’s room, Benjamin and Gen Sohr, the creative duo behind the interior design and architectural services firm Pencil and Paper Co., wanted the look to be personal and playful—much like the rest of their 1964 ranch-style home in Nashville. For Gen, the inspiration began with wallpaper crafted by Makelike, a graphic design company based in Portland. After falling in love with a large-scale tree graphic on the paper, she knew it would be her jumping off point. From there, she incorporated color and pattern with contemporary and vintage pieces for a modern-meets-traditional look. “I think the juxtaposition of clean, white walls and touches of color just feels happy,” she says. “I want to create spaces that people enjoy living in and make them…

Two years ago, Mickela Mallozzi was happily ensconced in her New York existence, never dreaming that soon she’d not only call herself a Nashville resident but also an Emmy Award winner. At the time, the Connecticut native spent her days traveling and vlogging—storytelling through video—about her dance adventures abroad and meeting up with her husband, musician Paul Defiglia, on tour in her downtime. A classically trained musician and dancer, Mallozzi received her degree from New York University’s Steinhardt School of Education—that’s where she met Defiglia more than a decade ago—and spent her 20s working a string of steady jobs, from music management to teaching at the famed Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. But she and Defiglia—keyboardist for the Avett Brothers—were getting antsy. They felt as though they were getting priced…

Dr. Meg Rush Executive Medical Director and Chief of Staff at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and Professor of Pediatrics at Vanderbilt University MEG RUSH has learned from some of the brightest female minds in her field and taught their up-and-coming counterparts, but it was her father who first guided her toward her calling. “I was sailing with my father during a summer vacation when he asked, ‘Why don’t you go to medical school? You would be a great physician,’” she recalls. “We spent much of our remaining vacation discussing the pros and cons of going to medical school as a woman in the early 1980s.” While more females were entering the world of science at the time, it was still very much a male-dominated landscape. When Rush…

Looking for a one-of-a-kind location for your next conference, meeting, or special event? You’ll definitely want to take a closer look at French Lick Resort in southern Indiana. A century ago, the resort’s “miracle waters” that bubble from local sulfur springs attracted movie stars, presidents and socialites. Today, the resort has been updated and revitalized, and its unique combination of Gilded Age opulence and state-of-the-art meeting facilities will satisfy even the pickiest event planner—whether she’s a boss or a bride-to-be. ACCOMODATIONS Located just a few hours from Nashville in the heart of the Hoosier National Forest, French Lick Resort shimmers in its bucolic surroundings like a glorious Midwestern mirage. A $560 million dollar restoration project has returned the resort’s two historic grand hotels to their former glory and added a…

Here in Nashville, we’re lucky to have a performing arts center that goes to great lengths to secure top-notch stage performances every season. With more than 500 shows a year as well as in-depth education and outreach programs, the Tennessee Performing Arts Center works hard to keep their audience entertained and informed. Plus, year-round classes, seminars, and summer camps help enrich our community and state. To support their efforts and celebrate all they do, the annual TPAC Gala has become an anticipated themed event held every August. The gala takes its cues this year from Motown: The Musical, a story driven by great Motown hits. Guests of the gala will spend the evening enjoying cocktails during the silent auction, sitting center stage for dinner, and savoring special entertainment by Infinity…

Loving Nashville isn’t a choice; it’s an instinct—at least that’s how Joel Anderson sees it. The owner of the award-winning Anderson Design Group has been celebrating his adopted home for the last 10 years with his Spirit of Nashville collection. The ever-growing set of illustrated posters features local history, monuments, and fond memories that Anderson has shared with this city; what started as a small, 14-image calendar now includes more than 150 prints. In honor of the collection’s 10th anniversary, the graphic design firm is releasing a coffee table book full of more than 100 classic posters—appropriately, it was produced entirely in Nashville. Anderson says he plans to keep the collection growing as the city does. “We’re looking for the next new thing that defines Nashville, and we can celebrate…

To spotlight the ever-growing art scene in our own backyard, Haynes Galleries is offering up a unique exhibit appropriately titled Art Nashville, featuring the city’s most acclaimed contemporary realists. “We are proud to be celebrating our own creative talents,” says Gary Haynes, owner of Haynes Galleries. “In a way, they are representative of the people who are in Nashville: Some of them have lived here their whole life, some moved away but still hold the place close to their heart, and some have sought this place out and made it their home.” What makes this exhibit so special is the variety of media on display—paintings, sculptures, photographs, and drawings—by various types of artists. And while they might have different backgrounds, they share a common thread that weaves their work together:…

Mclaine Richardson has two serious legacies to preserve. The first is her family’s: She, her mother, and her maternal grandmother are all native Nashvillians who have been dedicated to the local community. The second is her other family, the one at Margaret Ellis Jewelry (margaretellisjewelry.com), the company she bought from its namesake in 2013. As the head of a business that does not bear her name, which she took over after working as a metalsmith in the studio, Richardson knows she has an extremely high standard to live up to. After all, many Margaret Ellis customers have been devotees since growing up in the ’80s. “I’ve had customers who come in and bring pieces that they’ve been wearing since high school and say, ‘I want to remake this,’” Richardson says.…

DO A 20-minute flight over PCB with Panhandle Helicopter will give you the lay of the land while also allowing glimpses of peaceful manta rays, curious turtles, docile nurse sharks, and pods of dolphins in the sparkling turquoise waters below. The four-seat aircraft soars over hotels and high-rises before heading out for the secluded sands of the area’s beach parks. For those who prefer to stay on solid land—or, at least, placid sea—a trip aboard the Shell Island Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours pontoon takes you out on the water for some wildlife viewing and deposits you at the seven-mile-long undeveloped spit of land where locals often pull up their boats, roll out their coolers, and settle in for the afternoon. Nearby, the 1,260-acre St. Andrews State Park has nature trails…

“Paint your walls a crisp, clean white. It instantly refreshes a dated space and gives the illusion of amazing natural light.” “Don’t be scared to break the rules. We placed our favorite vintage dresser in front of a window because it was the best furniture arrangement for the room and created enough privacy that we eliminated window treatments altogether.” “Wallpaper instantly adds personality to a small space. We love using a bold pattern in a children’s bathroom.”…

Lisa Bush Hutton Hotel Nashville has played such a major role in my life, both personally and professionally. As director of sales and marketing for the Hutton Hotel, I have been able to see the firsthand impact that the city’s up-and-coming attractions have had on the increase within the travel and tourism industry. I love being able to tell our guests about a different restaurant, shop, or music venue opening practically every week. Dani Dubetz Music City Loft Music City’s popularity unquestionably fast-tracked my career as a 32-year-old real estate entrepreneur. Music City Loft was just a tiny idea in 2011, inspired by Nashville’s musical roots and creative energy. Being the “It city” provided momentum to establish the brand and develop our first expandable model of vacation/short-term rental properties. The…

That old joke about having enough zucchini to stuff a neighbor’s mailbox is no laughing matter come August—our gardens absolutely overflow with the green and yellow cylinders this time of year. For a simple healthy solution, try tossing them with pasta plus a few other veggies, like they do at Porta Via Italian Kitchen. On the lunch menu, the pasta primavera is a bright and colorful tribute to summer—not to mention a good use of any garden abundance. (21 White Bridge Rd., Ste. 104, 615-356-0001; eatatportavia.com) Pasta Primavera COURTESY OF CHEF GIOVANNI GIOSA, PORTA VIA ITALIAN KITCHEN Serves four 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced 1 medium yellow squash, diced 1 medium zucchini, diced 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced Olive oil 1 shallot, diced 2 cloves garlic, chopped…

PORTER ROAD BUTCHER Owners Chris Carter and James Peisker recently invested in a Kentucky animal processing facility to ensure that all the products they sell in their butcher shops are prepared from humanely processed meat. One result of the investment is that they now have access to much more of the whole animal—and that means finding creative ways to use it. The solution: They’ve developed a line called Slow Food Fast, which is essentially boil-in-a-bag meals made with fresh, preservative-free meat. Dishes include a “fiesta” braised beef shank, beef shank ragout, meatballs and marinara sauce, and citrus and herb chicken ragout. Sealed in vacuum bags, all that these meal starters require is a quick reheating in a pot of boiling water—they typically serve between two and four people when paired…

The creator of Chic Awearness, a three-year-old fashion and fundraising event that takes place next month, Marci Houff is a testament to the power of positive thinking. Having survived ovarian cancer, she decided Nashville needed a dedicated fundraiser for the disease, so she gathered her friends and put together a fashion show. Its mission? Raise awareness about a disease that shows its symptoms with a whisper. (September 21, 6 to 8 p.m., Prima, 700 12th Ave. S.; for tickets, go to chicawearness.org  or gildasclubnashville.org) Age: 53 Go mode: When she was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in 2008, Marci Houff was the mother of a four-year-old and incapable of believing that cancer could take her life. “In my mind, there wasn’t a possibility that I wouldn’t get…

PAT MARTIN BELIEVES THERE ARE NO secrets in barbecue. He’ll tell you over and over again, likely because it’s the primary reason he’s where he is today.The owner of four Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joints and a massive new restaurant headed for downtown in early 2016 learned every trick of his trade because somebody else shared it with him. Along the way, he’s shared what he knows right back and even established his own pitmaster training program in order to pass down his knowledge to a select group of up-and-coming hog handlers. His reason? He believes that West Tennessee whole hog barbecue—the style of barbecue that Martin came up around—is a dying art. Henderson, Tennessee, the town where Martin first discovered an entire pig in a pit, once had 12 whole hog…

Sarah Gavigan has a knack for identifying—and filling—our city’s culinary voids. Her first project, Otaku South, brought ramen, pop-up-style, into Nashville’s collective conscious. Then she gave us POP, an event and restaurant space in East Nashville meant to house her and others’ pop-up concepts. (One year in and POP has hosted some of the country’s coolest chefs for guest dinners while also providing other budding restaurateurs a place to experiment, incubate new ideas, and play.) Gavigan also has announced plans to open a brick-and-mortar Otaku in The Gulch later this year. And in the meantime—because this one likes a full plate—she decided to open Little Octopus, which is now the presiding restaurant inside POP. “It’s like one part California, one part Miami,” she says of the menu, which was developed…
