Innholdsfortegnelse for July 2022 i Nashville Lifestyles Magazine

I have spent a great deal of my life downtown. My first memories were watching the 4th of July fireworks from the then Shelby Street bridge (which is now the pedestrian bridge) when I was a kid. I went to high school at Hume-Fogg right on Broadway. Listen, to be honest with you, I was terrified getting out of my mom’s car and walking up those stairs. I wasn’t a city kid; we lived in Goodlettsville in the country. But I grew to love downtown quickly. You know back then there was a mall downtown called Church Street Center, which is where the library and parking garage are now. Only a block away is the new Fifth + Broadway. It is funny how things come back. Back then parking was…

In the web comedy series Nashville Dads Club, three local fathers embrace those only-in-Nashville quirks specific to #dadlife in the 615. And with the early success of two seasons tucked into their jeans, the dad jokes have only just begun. Starring Phillip Cordell, Rashad Rayford, and Dean Shortland, the show cracked two million views and scored a Nashville Film Festival nod with its first season, then followed up with a second helping. Season two is out now poking just as much fun as it preaches hometown love – and with plenty of “it-city” snark, it captures the absurdist beauty of raising kids through Nashville’s boom years. From on-location scenes at your favorite hangs, to locals-only send ups like hot yogurt, treadmill taverns, and celebrity branded Rite-Aids, anyone who loves our…

A 2.17-mile, 11-turn temporary street circuit designed to challenge drivers and excite fans will take racers by Nissan Stadium and over the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge as they zoom into the heart of downtown Nashville. Crossing over the Cumberland River, this unique course is…

STK Steakhouse The Gulch’s STK Steakhouse is known for serving up mouthwatering steaks, but it is also home to some exquisite cocktails. The Spiced Watermelon Margarita is a must-try, made with Patrón Silver Tequila, St. Germain, Wtrmln Wtr, fresh lime, and jalapeño.

These days it’s not a stretch to call Luke Combs one of country’s biggest stars, but it wasn’t long ago that the North Carolina native was a “baby act” – the somewhat-diminutive term applied to Music Row’s fledgling artists. Well, six years and three albums later, Combs is all grow’d up; he just hasn’t lost the blunt honesty of youth. The 2021 CMA Entertainer of the Year, with a record breaking 13 Number Ones to start his career, Combs released his Growin’ Up album on June 24, and its title is fitting for the freshly minted full-blown superstar. Yet despite his success, Combs remains famously un-starlike. Never a great fit for the mainstream mold – too honest, too transparent, too realistic – Combs is perhaps the most relatable country artist…

WHISKEY MYERS TORNILLO Southern rock is alive and well on Whiskey Myers’ Tornillo – and it comes with a brassy border-town swagger.

JOSH ROUSE GOING PLACES Isolated in Spain and missing the stage, folk-pop favorite Josh Rouse commandeered a 1950s-era bar during Covid and wrote Going Places for the setting. Loose, light, and rootsy, with horns, organ, and a tasteful touch of exotic flavor, it might be the first example of Latin Americana. (Available July 29.) LERA LYNN SOMETHING MORE THAN LOVE Both spacious and claustrophobic, surrendered and empowered, Lera Lynn captures the conflicted joy of new motherhood…
