Much like New Orleans' Wednesday in the Square, Nashville does free music/concert series throughout the year. This one is from August - Labor Day weekend. In my opinion, it is hands down the best one in terms of quality.

Last year was a killer lineup as well:

Holy frick! How do they get those kinds of folks to play for free? The city or some benefactor with deep pockets must be selling out some bucks. Most of those acts could fill up a House of Blues sized club.

Interesting lineup
Def Lone Bellow and St Paul
Never like Sheryl Crow much but saw her live and was very pleasantly surprised
I know Spoon is hugely popular but they've never done it for me
Iron and Wine is a must
