I make no apologies for my admiration of Trisha Yearwood. I think I was 13 years old at the old Bellevue Center mall with my family when I first saw her. Keep in mind, it was the ’90s; she had big curly hair, and Abercrombie and Fitch was still a preppy store (if any of you remember those days). I wanted her autograph (something we did before smartphones and selfies). I was shy, but my father who is fearless and has never met a stranger, walked into the record store (again that was a thing in the 1990s) and bought her CD. He walked up to the future Mrs. Brooks and said his kids wanted her autograph. She walked over to us, gave us a hug and thanked us for…

Seasoned with in-the-moment soul and featuring a sampler of difficult subjects, it moves the needle on her long artistic evolution, and doesn’t shy away from the facts. Because in Rose’s eyes, it’s about time the American family addressed its issues. Hot takes on a growing cultural divide, inequality, the predatory aspects of social media and more are served, as Rose orders up the creative gumption to say and sound how she wants. But if that recipe sounds less than appealing, have no fear. The overall dish is much tastier than it looks. Rose made sure the secret ingredient was understanding. “These were all songs written during what I think we can agree was a really politically contentious time,” she admits. “It made me feel like an exposed nerve, like there…

KALIE SHORR I GOT HERE BY ACCIDENT Kalie Shorr completes her transformation on I Got Here by Accident, sounding at home with a blaring blast of girl-powered pop punk. Underappreciated in country, her snarling sparkle shines here, as grungy chords collide with pounding drums and Swift-ian story songs built on real-life drama. (Available August 13) ANDERSON EAST MAYBE WE NEVER DIE Southern soul rocker Anderson East starts a new chapter with his third album, Maybe We Never Die, trading throwback rootsiness for streetwise sensuality. Mixing classic undertones and an energy rush, the Alabama native blends smoky R&B and soul with a sleek modernity, and a seductive strut. (Available August 20) ROBERT ELLIS ORRAL 467 SURF AND GUN CLUB If the walls of a punk clubhouse could talk, they’d sound like…

With such a strong sense of time and place, it’s hard to believe Barnsley Resort has only been open to guests since 1999. The love story that inspired it dates back nearly two centuries, when English shipping magnate Godfrey Barnsley purchased 4,000 acres of land in the bucolic Adairsville, Georgia countryside to build a grand mansion and gardens for his beloved wife, Julia. Tragically, she passed away before the home was completed, but the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the 1848 Italianate manor house still preside over Barnsley’s grounds today, connecting visitors with the luxury destination’s storied past. From the relaxed pace that takes hold the minute you enter the gates to the genuine hospitality at every turn, there’s no denying Barnsley’s Southern charms. But there are distinctly English influences here,…

It’s been more than a year since red carpet events, but on August 21 Vanderbilt Comprehensive Care Clinic (VCCC) will kick off the return of formal parties with its inaugural Ruby Gala. All proceeds go towards VCCC’s goal of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic by funding activities related to patient care and endowing the training of future HIV specialists. While commemorating the achievements made in the battle against HIV thus far, in addition to rekindling the activism and awareness needed to put an end to the HIV epidemic, the Ruby Gala is sure to be a night worthy of celebration. After the VCCC’s incredibly successful 2019 25th Anniversary Gala (the predecessor to the Ruby Gala), VCCC medical director Dr. Sean Kelly knew the event needed to become an annual occurrence. With…

A mansion like Burlington in Green Hills shouldn’t be on the market by most standards of logic. Typically, a home so deeply steeped in one family’s history—in this case, the Ellistons, a founding Nashville dynasty—rarely changes hands, and when it does, the keys usually go to a relative. Yet the seven-bedroom mansion at 210 Burlington Place is currently for sale for the first time in more than 30 years. Although constructed in 1932, Burlington retains architectural elements salvaged from the Ellistons’ 1850s ancestral home—bricks, hand-carved Italian marble mantels, a gazebo, wrought iron window grills and railings, and a solid mahogany front door. The original mansion, alternately known as the Elliston-Farrell House or Burlington, was built in 1859 on 500 acres surrounding modern-day Elliston Place. It was demolished in 1932. An…

To list Trisha Yearwood’s accomplishments would take an entire issue of this magazine. Last month, she celebrated three decades in the music business and during that time she’s amassed numerous Grammy, CMA, and ACM Awards; countless multiplatinum certifications; and millions of fans. Then there’s her successful home empire—her Emmy Award-winning Food Network hit Trisha’s Southern Kitchen is just one piece of her hospitality puzzle, which also includes three New York Times bestselling cookbooks, collaborations with Williams Sonoma, a furniture line, a pet line, and more. Yearwood has two other projects on the horizon, as well: on August 13 she will release Every Girl Deluxe Album—a rerelease of her chart-topping 2019 record, complete with bonus tracks like a new version of her 30-year-old smash, “She’s in Love with the Boy” and…

Combing two of Music City’s most cherished pastimes—music and brunch—Nashville Repertory Theatre’s biggest fundraising event is back, live and in person, with its most exciting lineup yet. Coming to City Winery on August 22, the sixth annual Broadway Brunch will celebrate the power of live theatre over brunch, bottomless cocktails, live and silent auctions, and can’t-miss musical performances from Nashville’s remarkable theatrical talent. Presented by Amazon and Nashville Law Offices, the Broadway Brunch will be chaired by Julie Schneider and Tracy Wade, along with Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and actress Kellie Pickler who will serve as this year’s Honorary Chair. No stranger to the world of entertainment, the triple threat has a lengthy list of accomplishments under her belt, including appearances on American Idol and Dancing With the Stars (she was…

Nashville beauty buffs know Complexion, a cosmetic dermatology boutique, is an aesthetic oasis for fillers, laser treatments, microneedling, facials, and more. But Complexion gives its patients more than just good face—they’re working to help them look and feel their best from head to toe. That mission has been further enhanced with the addition of two new treatments: EmSculpt NEO and EmTone. Complexion Co-Founders and aesthetic nurse practitioners Natalie Copeland and Beth Higney have been working to expand their aesthetic repertoire for the past three years, bringing in new treatments and practitioners to perform them. “We’re constantly trying to think, ‘where are we going next?’” says Higney. “You attract who you are—we have some [patients] who are younger, we have some that are older, but for the majority, you’re going to…

One of Nashville’s great contributions to the American culinary canon is the meat-and-three. Michael Gilbert, chef and founder of MacHenry’s, is putting a new spin on a longstanding tradition. The adage “necessity is the mother of invention” held true for Gilbert. His company, City Kitchen Catering, had outgrown its shared rental kitchen. Seeking another commercial workspace, Gilbert found a Jack in the Box on Murfreesboro Road—the fast-food restaurant had been vacant for nine years. Already equipped with hood-and-ansul system, grease trap, walk-in cooler, and work sinks, its prep area simply needed modest upgrades. The order counter, dining room, and drive-thru were all in impeccable shape. It seemed a shame not to use them somehow. The wheels of imagination spinning, Gilbert envisioned the location as dual-purposed: He’d continue his catering while…
