The Sunday of Memorial Day weekend was a perfect excuse to hit up one of our favorite Nashville traditions- Nashville Sunday Nights at 3rd and Lindsley. This little dive bar has some of the best seats in town, for a nice beer, decent eats and a close-up and intimate show. When in music city- seeing music is one of the best things to do, and we have made every effort to see as many shows as we can afford, time and money-wise.
We have had such fun and memorable experiences at 3rd and Lindsley (Jukebox the Ghost, with Jenny Owen Youngs; Landon Pigg with Sarah Jarosz). A Nasvhille native, Rayland Baxter, was so memorable, I can't even recall who the main act was that night!
Their newly revamped listening room, stage and seating are a great improvement, and I have to recommend anyone going to get there early! It's worth it for great seats to have a couple of drinks and some bar food first (and there are some very decent vittles to be had here).
Needless to say, when I heard one of my favorite music discoveries of the past 2 years, The Staves, were coming, I had to make this a night out to remember! We had several friends join us, and both of the shows were absolutely great! Perfect acoustics, a warm, respectful and receptive crowd and it was just the best way to experience music. Our friends really loved Holly Williams, whose song "Waiting for June" brings me to tears, it is so powerful.
All in all, a great Nashville night on the town.
