“Musician’s Corner” Comes to Centennial Park

A new Nashville destination, dubbed Musicians Corner, will showcase and celebrate the Music City’s musical talent. Located in the West End Avenue corner of Centennial Park, the location will be inaugurated with a series of free Saturday afternoon lawn parties, starting July 10 and continuing every Saturday from 3:00 to 6:00 PM through October 16. A pastiche of musical performances featuring local favorites, original voices, and surprise guests will be augmented by lifestyle, food, and artisan vendors to create a community gathering space in Centennial Park.

Every Saturday promises to be a unique event, with last-minute additions resulting in spontaneous lineups. Sam & Ruby, Griffin House, Mikky Ekko, Damien Horne, Roman Candle, Courtney Jaye, Tequila Flamenco Group, The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker, and Pico vs. Island Trees are a few of the already confirmed guests for Musicians Corner dates, with more names and details to be announced soon.

Musicians Corner (www.musicianscornernashville.com) aspires to be a central point, free and open to all, where Music City will gather to perform and enjoy its music. Inspired by “Speakers Corner” in London and Nashville’s hunger for free outdoor summer music programming, the series promises to be entertaining, challenging, and compelling, as each week unannounced performers, impromptu collaborations and audience contributions illustrate the diversity, passion, and fellowship of Music City.

Musicians Corner is sponsored by Fifth Third Bank, BMI, American Songspace, Metro Parks, and The Conservancy for the Parthenon & Centennial Park. Interested artists are encouraged to submit two songs and a brief explanation why they want a slot on the Musicians Corner Stage. Visit www.americansongspace.com/submission/MusiciansCorner.
