Earlier this week, live music was the furthest thing from our mind. But, as Nashville comes together to rebuild, recover, and to help one another in need, it’s clear that not only could many of us use an escape and some entertainment after one of the most challenging weeks in our city’s history, but also, many artists and venues and promoters have been able to scramble to organize or repurpose shows to provide support to various tornado relief efforts. As we bring you our weekly This Weekend in Nashville show guide (which we’ll be updating regularly throughout the weekend as events are added and changed), we’re also marking where we can the events that have specifically indicated a charitable component (but don’t feel guilty about simply picking what you want to see- there are still countless ways to donate time, like Hands On Nashville, and money, like the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee). Keep doing what you can to aid those in need, but, if you’re in a position to take some time for yourself and see a show, check out our weekend rundown below!
