Photos & Videos Of George Jones’ Home For Sale In Franklin, TN

george-jones-christmas-lights.jpg

Much like Alan Jackson's home, I can't count the number of times I've been to George Jones' house. Like thousands of others, we visited the home of George and Nancy Jones during the Christmas holidays each year. Their Christmas light display was truly amazing. And if friends were in town, we made a point to take them as well. It was one of the highlights on our holiday lights tour around Nashville. George Jones recently put his Williamson County home up for sale (4025 Nestledown … [Read more...]

Shawn Mullins, Chuck Cannon, Tom Bukovac And More At 3rd & Lindsley

shawn-mullins-tuning-guitar

First, I just have to say how much I love the new setup at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville! In the past, there was a tiny stage and a cramped interior. Now, there's a huge stage, a private entrance next to the stage for the musicians, and plenty of seats -- all with great seats from all angles -- including stage left, stage right, and balconies! 3rd and Lindsley has always been one of my favorite small clubs to see live music, but now it definitely ranks #1. If you haven't been there … [Read more...]

CMT Music Awards Show In Nashville: What It Was Like

We live in Nashville. Last night, we attended the CMT Awards show. No, not the CMA awards. And not the ACM Awards either. (If you ask me, it's easy to get them all confused.) This is the one that precedes the CMT Music Festival each June. We scored some press passes this year! Here's how things went at the 2010 CMT Music Awards show and some of the unique things that I saw this year... … [Read more...]

Photos & Video Of Alan Jackson’s Home For Sale In Franklin, TN

I guess we'll have to find another Nashville celebrity home to take the lead spot in our informal "Tour of the Stars Homes" that we take visitors on when they visit Nashville for the first time. Sadly, Alan Jackson's 19,000 square-foot home is now for sale. His house has been the highlight of our tour for many years. Asking Price Alan Jackson and wife Denise have said that they've been wanting to downsize, but it wasn't until recently that they put their house up for sale. … [Read more...]

Darius Rucker Nashville Tennessee Photos – Grand Ole Opry

Last night, Jim and I got free tickets to see Darius Rucker at the Grand Ole Opry. I heard about this free "invitation only" event on the local evening news (Channel 2) the night before the show. They mentioned something about it being part of the Jimmy Kimmel show -- but I never caught the full report to see what the real connection was. And to be honest, they never made it clear -- before, during, or after the show -- what the relationship between this show and the Jimmy Kimmel show was … [Read more...]

Photos Of Chuck Cannon, Lari White And Tom Bukovac At 3rd & Lindsley

Jim and I go to 3rd & Lindsley whenever we can to see our favorite songwriters when they're performing in Nashville. Who we've seen the most there: Shawn Mullins. Who we saw most recently there: Chuck Cannon & Lari White, with extra special guest Tom Bukovac. Here are some photos from last night's show...   We've seen Chuck Cannon and Lari White several times before this. In case you're not familiar with them... they're husband and wife, but they each have … [Read more...]

Eric Hutchinson Photos From 3rd & Lindsley In Nashville

Eric Hutchinson has a hit song on all the music video channels right now ("Rock & Roll"). That song got my attention the first time I heard it, so I was excited to hear that he would be making a stop in Nashville. Before I bought the tickets for his Nashville gig, I didn't really know much about Eric Hutchinson. I just knew the song and the fact that he writes most of his own songs. (I like that.)       Last night was the big night. He played at 3rd … [Read more...]

Listening Room Cafe: Photos & Highlights From Nashville’s Live Music Venue In Cummins Station

Jim and I went to the Grand Opening show at the new Listening Room Cafe in downtown Nashville a couple weeks ago. Jim's parents were in town, and they had a great time at the show with us. You may recall, I've written about the Listening Room Cafe in Franklin, TN before. Well, they recently closed the Franklin Listening Room Cafe and moved everything to its new Nashville location. Fortunately, Nashville is only a short drive from Franklin (where we live), so I'm sure we will still be … [Read more...]

Shawn Mullins, Chuck Cannon & Mac Davis At The Bluebird Cafe… What A Treat!

We've been fortunate to see Shawn Mullins perform numerous times -- mostly at very small venues like 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville. He's definitely one of our all-time favorite artists of all time. He's just a down-to-earth guy with an incredible voice and amazing guitar skills, and remarkable storytelling abilities. Last night we got to see Shawn Mullins perform "in the round" at the Bluebird Cafe. What a treat! There's nothing better than seeing your favorite performers in small … [Read more...]
