In the all-too-apt words of Bill Watterson, the days are just packed. Wow, Ghostface Killer and Raekwon are at Marathon tomorrow, so that will be incredible. For those lamenting old Nashville, Friday is a classic Nashville night with our sweet queen Dolly Parton will be Ryman-rocking meanwhile our favorite mom-country artist Shania Twain will be stadium-rocking at Bridgestone. Not to mention, the same night heavyweights Hans Condor will be making ears bleed over at Two Boots Pizza and Casey Weissbuch’s Slanted is to headline at Queen Ave. Then on Saturday, Harvest Team and D. Watusi will be making waves at Two Boots. At last, Fox Fun‘s all-ages performance at Betty’s will be the cherry on top to a fine summer week.
