Bright & Early: Wet Hot Tennessee Summer Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Cool Springs experienced quite the flooding scare yesterday as a slow-moving thunderstorm dumped as much as 2.5″ of rain within an hour in some areas, causing flash floods that stranded motorists and made their way into at least a few homes. The scene was an eerily familiar one, as flooding is still [...]
Bright & Early: Two Countries, No Cup Edition
Good morning, Nashville. After this morning’s big FIFA announcement, it doesn’t look like the World Cup will be moving to this side of the pond anytime soon. Instead, the 2018 World Cup will be held in Russia and the 2022 bid went to Qatar where the average July temperature is 115 degrees and no one [...]
Bright & Early: Bzzzzzzzzz Edition
Good morning, Nashville. More than 5,000 people turned out to Nashville’s free World Cup watch party at LP Field yesterday. Though we didn’t exactly have folks dancing on top of buses and such, we hear it was a pretty crazy party. There were giveaways, and inflatables, and most importantly vuvuzelas! Meanwhile, the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau [...]
Bright & Early: The Waiting Game Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Today seems to be pretty light on the news-that’s-not-about-CMA-Fest front (except for this important update from FEMA about assistance for renters), so we’re going to give you what we’ve got, in bullet form: The Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau says we should “probably appreciate our visitors a little more this year because [...]
Bright & (Not So) Early: Where There’s Smoke Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running behind this morning, so you know the drill: A fuel tanker went up in flames this morning at a Raceway gas station in Donelson. The explosion,which left the 68-year old driver severely burned, sent flames shooting 30 feet into the air according to witnesses. [WSMV] The Tennessee Hospitality Association finally [...]
Bright & Early: Great Guitar Drop Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Convention & Visitors Bureau has a special trick up their sleeve this year with a free NYC-ish New Years Eve celebration. Since last year’s $250 Lynyrd Skynyrd concert fell flat and had to be canceled last-minute because tickets weren’t selling, they’re trying the free approach in an attempt to drum up [...]
This Just In: Ben Folds At The Ryman April 7
From the looks of things, one of our favorite hometown heroes, Mr. Ben Folds himself, will finally be returning to play another show in Nashville (that isn’t at the Schermerhorn, as awesome as that was). The Nashville Convention & Visitor’s Bureau announced the April 7 show today on their Twitter account, and tickets will be [...]
Convention & Visitors Bureau Produces Their Own Flip Side Video [Ha, Ha, Ha]
We want to preface this video with a short trip down memory lane. Once upon a time, the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau held a contest you may remember called the Flip Side of Nashville which was intended to showcase the many different kinds of music that come out of Nashville besides country. The instructions [...]
