  Speaker 1: Taking a Walk Nashville. Well, Hi, my name is Buzz Night.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I host this podcast called the Taking a Walk Podcast,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: and my goodness, I am with someone who hosts a podcast.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It's called Taking a Walk Nashville. Hi, Sarah Harrilson, thanks
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: for having me on your show.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Hi, Buzz thank you for being on Taking a Walk
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Nashville today.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, we are able to get together here by the
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: beauty of virtuality. I'm outside of Boston, you're outside of Nashville,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and we're going to talk about what's going on in
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the unbelievable music scene around Nashville. And we're going to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: take a look at the week of November seventeenth, and
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty certain there's a fair amount of stuff going
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: on with all different genres of music. Would you agree, Sarah?
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Of course. Yeah.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: As I mentioned on the last concert calendar, there's always
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: so many events happening in Nashville, and just because it's
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: getting cold outside does not mean it's slowing down here.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: And there's so much on the lineup for November seventeenth.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: We have Stephen Wilson Junior at the Ryman on the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: twenty third. I think that'll be a great concert because
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: it's going to be his largest hometown headline to date
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: at this venue.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Now tell me what you know about Steven. We've tried
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to get him on Taking a Walk a couple times
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: through his people, and he's like a lot of artists.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Obviously he's on the road a lot. But for Steven,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: this is a bit of a homecoming, right it is.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he has such a great story.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I would love to have him on Taking a Walk Nashville.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: His own music is kind of a blend of indie
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: rock and country, but he's also written quite a few
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: songs for a variety of artists like Caitlin Smith, Old Dominion, Brothers, Osbourne.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: The list goes on and on. But his journey, I
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: think is very unique. He was a Golden Gloves boxer
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and then later a research scientist and now he's doing music.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: So he's done it all.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: And in addition to performing at the Rieman on November
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: twenty third and twenty fourth, he's also going to be
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: performing with Shaboozi at the CMA Awards on the nineteenth.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Well that's pretty big.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: He must be a nervous wreck over that, I'm guessing Yeah,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: probably not.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, he's a piece of cake for him.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: But now, is it fair to say this time around
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Nashville is when a lot of the artists you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: are coming back home. They're coming off the long road,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: but they're still doing select dates, kind of celebrating the holidays.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, if the artist is not on like a holiday tour,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: usually they're back here in Nashville, maybe performing at different
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: events in Nashville. And that's definitely why CMA they host
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: their awards in November, because a lot of artists are
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: off tour and able to be at the award show.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: And that's happening on Wednesday, November nineteenth at Bridgestone Arena.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be another great award show.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: The females are kind of dominating this year in nominations.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: We have Ella Langley, Megan Maroney and Landy Wilson. They've
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: received the most nominations this year with six each.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yay yay. Yeah pro ladies, Yes, yeah. So Stephen Wilson
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: at the Ryman.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: That's is that what you think maybe is the big
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: event of the week or are there some others?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Definitely Stephen Wilson at the Ryman and then of course
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the CMA Awards. We also have going on Christmas at Belmont.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite events to attend when
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I was at Belmont's going to be on November twenty
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: first and twenty second at the Fisher Center for the
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Performing Arts. That's their new Performing Arts center. It's so
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: beautiful if no one has been there before, and more
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: than six hundred Belmont students will perform Christmas and holiday
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: music and it really is magical.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, have you been to that one before
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you go?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I have? Yeah, especially when I attended Belmont. I went
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: pretty much every year.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: There's nothing like the holiday spirit, right, Yeah. And what
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: are some of the other venues that might be popping
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: up for that week?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So we talked about country music holiday music, but
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: we're not limited to that. In Nashville, we have New
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Faces Night that happens every Tuesday at the Original Basement
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: on Eighth Avenue. That's happening November eighteenth at eight pm.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: New Faces Night always features different artists in Nashville. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: think they get like a thirty minute set each, usually
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of I've heard so many different genres when
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I've been to New Faces Night, not just country. I've
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: heard rock, I've heard nd so it's always a great
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: venue and night to see different kinds of music.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Now, is the Basement where on our earlier episode of
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the Concert Calendar where Thomas Dolby was appearing, Do I
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: have that correct?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Or was he at another venue?
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: That was the Basement East and East Nashville.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: So that's a lot.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Bigger than the original Basement. The original Basement is literally
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: underground and kind of a basement area.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: It's a lot smaller, but.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: It's a fun vibe.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And does Nashville get crazy besides the locals around the holidays?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Is there a lot of tourism still going on this
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: time of year?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, especially over at the Opry. Opry does their Christmas
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: classics and then they have all of the Christmas lights up,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: so it's a popular time for tourists to come see
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: all of the lights at Opry and enjoy the holiday
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: fun over there.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: And I want to ask you, so what happens with
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the intersection of sports and music in Nashville. Obviously you
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: have a football team. I don't know if you're a
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: fan of that football team or not. You're you're allowed
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to not be because I know you probably have other
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: fan affinity on the sports side, I'm guessing, but maybe not.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But so, what I'm asking is when the football team
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: is in full force, do artists typically play at these
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: games at halftime?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: What goes on?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, all the time, especially some we're in music City.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Besides Titans games, we have Predators hockey always going on,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: So there's always a band that will play during the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: halftime at Titans.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Or the Pred's game.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: There's always someone famous who usually does the national anthem
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: at both games too, as well as our Nashville soccer team.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: There's always music going on over there. So sports and
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: music always happening here in Nashville. And the new Titans
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Stadium is actually being built right now and that's expected
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: to open in twenty twenty seven.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Wait, there's construction in Nashville happening. I can't believe it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, every time I go there, I'm like, there's more
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: buildings that are being put up.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: My god, Well, do you know what the bird of
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Nashville is? No, it's the crane.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I fell for it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: It's been a day and I fell for that one.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm so happy that I did.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't say that we're Titans, I hope you noticed
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: that I was kind of holding back on that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Look partially because I live outside of Boston and you
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: might think I'm a loyal Patriots fan. And right now
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I'm going to jump on the bandwagon. I'm a fair
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: weather Patriots fan, so I'm they're on a roll.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So I say go Patriots. Go.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Mike Vabriel he was your former coach, and that's why
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I was being reluctant to say the word Titans.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I wish we could have Mike Rabel back. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: hope the Titans can do better. I'm urgually from Knoxville,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: so more of a college football fan, but my husband
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: is from Baltimore, so we cheer for the Ravens usually.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, see now full disclosure. That's okay.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we could be fair weather. And
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: as long as as long as it's good, good fortune,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: good music, good community, that's what it's all about, right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Absolutely, good sports, good music, good food. We have
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: it all.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Anything else you want to talk about in terms of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: music around there or you think this one is just about.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: A rap, Well, we talked about holiday music, rock music,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: country music.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: But if people are in.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Town and want to hear some jazz. Rudy's Jazz Room
• 9:30
