Spring is in full swing, and that means that the return of long-running, free concert series Musicians Corner is right around the, uh, corner. Back for its eighth season, the all ages weekend fest, which takes places in Centennial Park, and spans across Fridays and Saturdays in May, June, August, and September, has just revealed its spring main stage lineup (acoustic performers will be announced later this month), and it might be the best slate of acts yet! Set to kick off May 12 and conclude June 24, Musicians Corner’s spring 2017 will include Langhorne Slim, John Paul White, Margaret Glaspy, Rayland Baxter, Carl Bromel, K.S. Rhoads & Emily West, Leyla McCalla, Charles “Wigg” Walker, Paul McDonald, Humming House, *repeat repeat, DeRobert & The Half-Truths, Skyway Man, The Harmaleighs, Devon Gilfillian, and tons more!
Expanding last year’s acoustic Friday nights, incorporating a special Thursday night with the Nashville Symphony, and adding an hour to the Saturday main events, which will now run from 12-6 p.m., this season is shaping up to be the biggest yet, and you can take a look at the whole spring lineup below!
