Innholdsfortegnelse for June 2021 i Nashville Lifestyles Magazine

Summer in Music City looks quite different this year compared to the summer of 2020. With events back on the calendar, we’re all eager to make up for a year of cancelations and postponements. Perhaps one of the most exciting returns is the Iroquois Steeplechase. To the delight of many, the iconic annual sporting and social event will make its highly anticipated return to Percy Warner Park on Saturday, June 26. As a Nashville rite of spring since 1941, the Iroquois Steeplechase is traditionally held the second Saturday of each May, and although this year’s June date may be different, the excitement remains just as (if not more) intense. With ticket sales officially open for hospitality tents as well as individual tickets the beginning of May, attendees have been eager…

Spread across 3,200 acres in the rolling foothills of Central Alabama, Pursell Farms delivers a full-service resort experience in a relaxed luxury setting. From the world’s only research and demonstration golf course, FarmLinks, to the ORVIS Shooting Grounds and the chef-driven dinners overlooking the scenic countryside, it’s a place to engage in a weekend of sport or simply sit back and savor its abundant Southern charms. Pursell Farms’ CEO and Co-Founder, David Pursell, planted the earliest seeds of the resort in 2003 when he realized his vision of a golf course where golf superintendents could see “first-hand” the innovative agronomy technologies his company, Pursell Technologies, had developed. He sold the business just a few years later but kept the family farm, shifting focus to something that comes naturally to the…

As one of modern country’s most consistent stars, crooner Brett Young has been laser-focused on one thing for almost all of his career—the ever-inspiring, ever-elusive romantic relationship. And so far, there’s been no reason not to. The clean-cut Californian has posted six straight Number Ones to country radio since 2016, with more than a dozen Platinum plaques to go with it. But on his new album, Weekends Look a Little Different These Days, he’s looking at a different kind of love. “I specifically was sitting and watching football with my daughter in my lap, and a bottle in her mouth, and I just thought, ‘This is not what college football Saturdays used to look like,’” Young says with a laugh, speaking by phone just a few weeks before the project’s…

From a cozy 800-square-foot shop in Belle Meade to a 3,800-square-foot restaurant in the heart of Hillsboro Village, Anzie Blue owner Marcie Van Mol says the move was inspired by their customers. “We have always listened to the customer. We started out as a CBD shop, our customers asked for coffee, then they asked for breakfast and so on,” she explains. “We’ve built this business on loyal customers and we aim to create products they will want to keep coming back for.” Guests can enjoy Anzie Blue’s inviting, light-filled space morning to night with a comprehensive menu that includes coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails + CBD. It’s a space that feels equally at home for a lunch date with friends, studying for a test, or taking a meeting. “We…

Great inspiration often comes from great travels. For chef Andy Hayes and his wife, Beth Owens, a family trip in San Sebastian, Spain, became the springboard for Rosie Food & Wine. Seasoned chefs, the couple had long wanted to open their own restaurant in Nashville—a costly prospect that required investors and had jostled different concepts. Over an incredible meal at a small, family-owned tapas bar, they had an “A-ha” moment. “This is what we want,” Hayes recalls. “We can edit, simplify. We just need the courage and find a place to cook. And we don’t have to do it in Nashville.” Originally from White House, a town north of Nashville, Hayes was familiar with Hendersonville, miles down the road. He still has family in the area. Why not there? After…

LUKAS NELSON & PROMISE OF THE REAL A FEW STARS APART Embracing his heritage like never before, Lukas Nelson spent most of the pandemic at home, adding his own chapter of playful country to his father Willie’s tradition. On A Few Stars Apart, the young scion’s vocal at times invokes his dad, but the cosmic-country sound is purely his own. (Available June 11) JOY OLADOKUN in defense of my own happiness Speaking as a black, LGBTQ+ folk artist and first-gen child of Nigerian immigrants, Joy Oladokun’s real-keeping is often striking, and always satisfying.

Temps are hovering near the 90s. Humidity is nearing soup-like percentages. And yet, there’s nothing quite like the technicolor vividness of a Tennessee summer… as long as you have some trusty tools to help keep your cool. Enter: Walker Brothers. Helmed by co-founding team members Luke Walker, Sam Walker, and Caroline Howard, the Nashville-based operation has been thoughtfully brewing non-alcoholic and high-gravity kombucha since 2018. With a love for hiking, rock climbing, and outdoor fitness, both Walker brothers have long felt a connection to the health and function of their bodies. But their fascination with kombucha took root after realizing that it soothed their digestive system after a bout with craft beer. “We love craft beer because it’s so complex and nuanced, but something felt a little off every time…
