Off the Record

1:46 pm | Monday, Sep 28th

On the heels of New York Fashion Week in Manhattan, Nashville is gearing up for its own night of high fashion taking place Sunday, Nov. 1 at Off The Record, with the first round of musical guests and performers for the event being unveiled last week. The Tennessean broke the news, announcing a performance lineup that includes Big Kenny Alphin of Big & Rich, Chase Bryant, Kaleo, Old Dominion, The Cadillac Three and Phil Vassar. Brooke Eden will be appearing at the event, and Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley and his wife Brittney will showcase designs from their Tribe Kelley line.

In an interview with The Tennessean, show director and celebrity designer Christiev Alphin noted that “music and fashion create a natural gathering ground,” and that the fashion show’s team is “bringing in all of the big guns” from the fashion world.

Off The Record is produced by award winning firm, Neste Event Marketing. The Nashville-based company, co-owned by husband and wife Gil and Liz Cunningham, produces concerts for corporate events and festivals throughout North America and has won two Academy of Country Music awards and six IEBA awards.

“EntertainmentBuy and Neste Event Marketing have been involved in producing events on various scales from hundreds of people to hundreds of thousands of people for over 25 years, but rarely do we ever have the opportunity of producing events in Nashville,” noted Gil Cunningham. “We’re excited to bring a unique experience back home to Nashville; this will be an experience you won’t want to miss.”

“Nashville is as hot as you could get and the fashion industry recognizes it,” Liz Cunningham said. “Nashville is the style leader of the south both musically and in fashion.”

With that in mind, the fashion and music industries will come together for this event on the Sunday before the Country Music Association Awards to raise money for Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee and celebrate the fashion and music that Nashville has to offer.

Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival, Franklin TN

10:00 am | Sunday, Sep 27th

| No Comments

Pilgrimage is a music and cultural festival debuting in September 26-27, 2015 in Franklin, Tennessee. Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival invites folks of all ages on a journey to experience a myriad of musical styles, a bevy of food and beverages, and the rich regional spirit of Franklin, TN.

Like most great ideas, Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival was inspired by friendship, history, and the desire to create a meaningful experience. Two years ago, Musician and Franklin, TN resident Kevin Griffin was on a September morning jog through The Park at Harlinsdale, a century-old horse farm recently purchased by the City of Franklin. Kevin was so taken by the rolling hills, natural amphitheaters, and breathtaking vistas of the 230-acre farm, he envisioned it as a natural fit for a music festival venue. Considering Franklin’s place, Kevin wanted people to understand the beauty and rustic quality of Middle Tennessee in the fall, and with the blessing of the City, began to dream up a music festival to do it justice.

Partnered with lifelong buddies W. Brandt Wood and Michael Whelan, the trio aspired to highlight the diversity and community spirit of the New Orleans Jazz Fest, tailoring the best elements to Franklin– a richly historic town just 20 minutes south of Nashville. Like Jazz Fest, Pilgrimage will take place during the day, and offer a diverse yet renowned lineup of rock and roll, alt-country, bluegrass, jazz, indie, gospel and more. Performing on patina-clad stages reflecting the area’s aesthetic, many bands will “crank it down” and give a partly acoustic set specifically tailored to the day. Moreover, the fest will boast “Pilgri-mashups,” pairing artists together for special one-time collaborations on stage. The Little Pilgrims Stage will be more than a kids’ play area; it will feature a line-up of talented young musicians in their own right, to inspire and entertain kids and adults alike.

The region’s best food and drink will be on display at the Kitchen and Sippin’ stages at scheduled times throughout the weekend, and carefully selected food and merchant vendors will be featured in the Bazaar. When performances wrap at 7:30pm each day, guests can conveniently head back into the heart of downtown Franklin, within walking distance from the Park at Harlinsdale, to imbibe the best of the town’s restaurants, shops, and great weekend lineup of nighttime shows.

Ultimately, Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival invites folks of all ages on a journey to experience a myriad of musical styles, a bevy of food and beverages, and the rich regional spirit of Franklin, TN.

Barktoberfest™ is coming to Franklin

6:53 pm | Thursday, Sep 24th

| No Comments

Celebrating its 7th year, Barktoberfest™ is Middle Tennessee’s favorite costumed fall festival for dogs and their people! Hosted by Nashville Paw magazine, this event won third place for “BEST FESTIVAL” in The Tennessean’s 2013 Toast of Music City Awards and draws an estimated 3,000 guests and their pooch pals from across Middle Tennessee.

This year, the festival moves to the sprawling grounds of The Park at Harlinsdale Farm, in a new partnership with the City of Franklin Parks. This new partnership will allow the festival room to grow as well as a much-needed perk that has been lacking at previous venues: on-site free parking!

As always, Barktoberfest will feature food trucks, a pet adoption fair featuring local rescue groups and shelters, and 40+ vendor booths to browse and shop. There will also be plenty of fun activities for dogs, kids and the whole family (click the “schedule” tab above for more details).

We’re excited about this year’s musical lineup, which includes Nashville’s own Emily Earle and Eight O’ Five Jive returning to the stage, as well as national touring band Jack and The Bear. (More about these bands under the “schedule” tab above.)

Of course, the highlight of Barktoberfest is always our Howl-O-Ween Costume Contests, where humans and pooch pals alike compete for over $2,000 in fun and fabulous prizes! Costume contests are $10 per entry per contest, and include 3 contests this year: a Kids Costume Contest (ages 12 and under), a Dog Costume Contest and our Dog + Human Costume Combo Contest.

Don’t miss Middle Tennessee’s most fun and festive fall event! Leash up your pooch pal and bring the whole family in costume for an afternoon of fun and a chance at some great prizes!

P.S. Be sure to tag your event posts and pics #TNBarktoberfest and #NashvillePaw for a chance to be featured!

QUORUM HEALTH CORP.

Southeast Venture announced that Quorum Health Corp. has signed a long-term lease for a 40,000-square-foot building that the commercial real estate firm is developing in Mallory Park, an office park near Cool Springs Galleria in Brentwood.The newly leased building is one of two 40,000-square-foot buildings Southeast Venture is developing on a 12.5-acre lot on Mallory Lane known as Dimension at Mallory Park Phase I. The two buildings will surround a courtyard, giving the project a “campus feel.” Southeast Venture is the architect for the building and the firm will also provide interior design services to guide the build-out of the premises for Quorum. Southeast Venture’s leasing team, Michael Finucane and J.C. Darby, represented their company in the lease transaction and Bo Tyler and Tom Hooper of JLL represented the tenant. T.W. Frierson Contractor is the builder for the project.

Quorum Health Corp.’s new headquarters will be the first building constructed in Phase II of Mallory Park, a 33.5-acre parcel north of the original office park that was rezoned for commercial use in 2010. Southeast Venture is the developer of Mallory Park and will continue to own the building with its investors.

“We are very pleased that Quorum Health Corp. has elected to keep its headquarters in Brentwood. Mallory Park will be a great new home for the company, especially with the new Flagpole Park within walking distance,” said Brentwood Mayor Regina Smithson.

“In order to meet Quorum’s timeline, we plan to begin tenant construction on October 15 and have the building ready for occupancy by early next year,” said Southeast Venture Principal Cam Sorenson. “We are prepared to meet this aggressive deadline: the concrete slab is already poured, utilities are already being installed and walls began going up last week. The type of structure we are building – which is similar to a two- office complex we developed in MetroCenter for HealthSpring – goes up quickly.”

“Quorum will occupy 50 percent of the total space available at Mallory Park,” said Finucane. “We’ve had a lot of activity and are looking forward to filling the remaining 40,000 square feet soon.”
