Peter Hook is on a Mission with The Light

1 week ago | thenashvillian.com | Chuck Allen

As the bassist and founding member of Joy Division and New Order, Peter Hook wields an incalculable influence on music across a variety of genres. Alternative rock bands like REM, Smashing Pumpkins, and Radiohead regularly cite albums and songs from both of his bands‘ repertoires as inspiration. Then there’s the Mancunian dance-club scene, centered around The Haçienda. It was founded in 1982 by New Order, along with their manager, Rob Gretton, and Factory Records.

Ton Up Bike Show Rolls in to Madison

Sep 25, 2024 | thenashvillian.com | Chuck Allen

The Ton Up British Motorcycle Club rolls into Madison’s Yazoo Brewery for its 23rd annual bike show this weekend. While the club has only one rule — own and ride a British Bike — the show is egalitarian and accepts entries from Hondas to Harleys. (One caveat: No big baggers or full dressers, please.)With ten classes for pre-1984 vintages of all makes and one for “modern classics,” fine specimens from across the globe will be represented in all their restored glory.
Gina Gwynne: Like a Good Neighbor

Sep 16, 2024 | thenashvillian.com | Leslie LaChance

When some folks go to funerals, they bring casseroles. Gina Gwynne likes to carry big checks. That’s because if your loved one had life insurance through her State Farm agency, she wants to honor that trust and ensure her customer’s family doesn’t have to worry about money during a sorrowful time. Gwynne has been in the insurance business for over 32 years, but many folks know her from an entirely different context and have no idea she’s an agent.
Butterlamp Offers Delightful Twists on Age-Old Staples

Sep 16, 2024 | thenashvillian.com | Maria Ivey

Owned by husband-and-wife pair Benjamin and Katie Rose Tyson and named for the many butter lamps the couple lit while honeymooning in Bhutan, Butterlamp is a new 42-seat wine and bread bar in the Eastwood Village development (also home to Switchyards and a great little bookstore, Novelette, among other retail). The of-the-now yet also ancient concept feels nicely anchored in the old Hobson United Methodist Church building.
Life's a Beach at Coral Club

Sep 16, 2024 | thenashvillian.com | Maria Ivey

The folks behind the bar and the scenes at Coral Club, a newish coastal escape-themed bar in East Nashville, may very well warrant a new twist on Nashville’s oft-heard “songwriter’s songwriter” or “musician’s musician” superlatives: the bartender’s bartender. Sharing a hospitality pedigree that is as wide as it is deep, owners and brothers Aaron and Matthew Izaguirre, alongside Brice Hoffman and Kristopher Esqueda have created a coastal-vibed getaway on Gallatin Avenue.
Visual Artist Marlos E’van on Creativity and Connection

Sep 13, 2024 | thenashvillian.com | Leslie LaChance

If you had a copy of artist Marlos E’van’s book, Sweetheart Party, you probably wouldn’t be doom-scrolling on your handheld device. Instead, this pocket-sized collection of intimate and mysterious Polaroids published by Third Man Books would be your latest obsession. It’s a curiosity that’s filled with pictures of people you might not know but somehow feel like you remember — people at parties, a funeral, or art shows.
Devin Drake's Reality in Miniature

Sep 13, 2024 | thenashvillian.com | Randy Fox

Stepping into the world of Devin Drake’s artwork requires an adjustment of scale. It’s a world of familiar streets scenes, buildings, and architectural details – an abused but steadfast corner bus stop, a graffiti-covered light pole, or a beloved local storefront. Or perhaps it’s a well-accustomed interior space – a family TV room of your childhood lit by a warmly glowing cathode ray tube or perhaps a dimly remembered hospital room.
Abundantly Speaking

Sep 13, 2024 | thenashvillian.com | Chuck Allen

What makes a community abundant? I would argue that the appearance of abundance doesn’t necessarily translate into living an abundant life. We get used to material things, and the initial thrill of having devolves into taking them for granted. At least, it does for me. There’s no one definition of abundance to which we can all agree. Nor should there be. Whatever it looks like, the stories we tell about ourselves these days tend to omit any recognition of abundance.
The Improbable Ascent of Gifford’s Bacon

Sep 13, 2024 | thenashvillian.com | Maria Ivey

The first time I heard, and I mean listened to, registered, and remembered the name Gifford’s Bacon was at the East Nashville Farmers Market on a sweltering day, the blacktop so hot the market had warned shoppers via Instagram to leave their dogs at home for fear of blistered paws. I was in a shortish line waiting to buy two dozen eggs while sweating and silently cursing the man ahead of me who was deep in conversation with the vendor.
