Prioritizing budget funds for Metro and individual district needs BY NICOLLE S. PRAINO

The first Metro Council meeting since the election took place on Oct. 3. There are multiple new and returning council members in The News’ southwest Nashville coverage area, so we sat down with each of them to talk about the issues they want to address during their term. Looking Forward will be an ongoing series of topics addressed by each member we were able to speak with ahead of the first council meeting. The continued growth of the city and entire Metro area influences the issues council members focus on in each of their

districts differently. Some of those goals align, but not everyone’s number one priority is the same. Still, they have to work together to allocate the funds. “You can’t do it all in one lump sum,” Councilmember Sheri Weiner (D22) said. “you have to put your list together, prioritize the things that you can do.” She’s been doing this for a while but some of the new council members still had prep work to do ahead of the first meeting at the beginning of the month. “My starting point is going to be studying

the past two budgets and those past three project processes,” Jeff Preptit (D25) said. These council members spend a lot of time looking at the numbers and figuring out how they can best get their priorities accomplished. Councilmember Brenda Gadd (D24) said she has appreciated the budget chairs in the Metro Council who have helped give access and resources to the communities to help everyone understand the budget process. “I know I’ve got a long way to go to understand the budget as well,” >> PAGE 2

Metro Nashville Police are seeking the public’s help in locating seven people they said are suspects in a string of shoplifting incidents from high-end stores at The Mall at Green Hills. 27-year-old Angela Simpson, of Lebanon Pike, was indicted on felony theft charges related to a January theft from Finish Line at Opry Mills and is also suspected of stealing clothing from Zara in Green Hills. 53-year-old Walter Starnes, of Edwin Street, is suspected in the theft of nearly $5,000 worth of shoes from Nordstrom on July 24. 22-year-old Kelonzia Broyles, of Old Matthews Road, is suspected of burglarizing Impossible Kicks on Oct. 2, where he allegedly stole approximately $45,000 of shoes. Broyles is also suspected of stealing clothing from Marshalls on Lebanon Pike in August. 34-year-old Tawonda Parrish, of University Court, is suspected of stealing $7,000 worth of purses from Dillard’s on July 11. 56-year-old Donzel Watson, of Mt. High Drive in Antioch, is suspected of stealing more than $10,000 worth of merchandise from Louis Vuitton on Sept. 14 and for allegedly stealing equipment from at least 14 Home Depot and Lowe’s locations. 26-year-old Tamasia Moss, of Lewis Street, is suspected of stealing more than $4,000 worth of purses from Burberry on Sept. 4. 23-year-old Jernithia Bell, 23, of Connare Drive in Madison, is also suspected of the Sept. 4 theft alongside Moss and was arrested on the charges on Oct. 13. Police ask that anyone with information on the whereabouts of Simpson, Starnes, Broyles, Parrish, Watson or Moss to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.

District 34 councilmember Sandy Ewing PHOTO SUBMITTED

Gadd said. “For my district, I was thinking about ways – and maybe doing jointly with other districts – to do community meetings that are scheduled proactively where we’re talking about having folks present so they can really understand whether it’s a budget

[or other issues].” She said that kind of work is continuous and it’s something returning councilmember Thom Druffel (D23) is familiar with doing. His first bill was during a budget session and it got approved unanimously. He said it now means that, before capital is approved by the council, the director of finance must do a five-year projection of the impact on payments to the operating budget. “I feel really proud that that created a lot of transparency and how our debt is reflected in the budget,” Druffel said. “I feel really good that we created a better sense of financial stability, and its reflected by our debt rating.” He said looking at the financial policies of the council is important to establishing transparency to both the council and the public for issues like increasing the amount of debt pay off in proportion to the operating budget. “Ensuring that we are being good stewards of our resources is going to be incredibly important to me,” Preptit said. “But also, making sure that we’re continuing to invest in those things that touch people’s lives.” For Preptit, that’s the school system. “I firmly believe that public education is one of those things that is a rising tide that

will lift all boats, and I know that I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for the education I received,” Preptit said. That’s an idea that was shared by many other council members in the southwest Nashville area. “I think we need to continue to make sure that teachers are paid well, make sure that students are in classes where they can get their teachers’ attention if needed or have other professionals that can help students if they have needs specific to them,” Tom Cash (D18) said. “I think [former] Mayor [John] Cooper has made an excellent start on boosting salaries and resources for our Metro public schools,” Sandy Ewing (D34) said. “I want to make sure that the budget keeps that process going. We’ve gone a good part of the way, but we still need to continue that process.” But while they share those same sentiments, they have other priorities at the top of mind as well. “Two of my main concerns relate back to fire and police,” Ewing said. “I want to make sure that we are resourcing those departments sufficiently. So that as the city grows, we are having our safety services grow at that same pace.” She said while they cannot control the amount of people who continue to move

into the Nashville Metro area, what they can control is how they react to that continued growth. Cash touched on another piece of that development and mentioned how it relates back to the money coming into each household. “We talk about affordable housing and it’s the biggest expense a family has,” Cash said. “It’s a major part of being able to afford to live in Nashville, but it’s not the only one. We need to make sure that salaries are competitive. Our own employees are the ones that we control the most, but it might set a good pace for others to pay well.” With all of these different priorities, there is one outstanding issue that each council member said was going to play an important role for them – transportation. There will be opportunities in budget discussions for each of them to work with one another for the whole of Metro. “You do the things together that are going to enable the community to do what it needs to do as a whole,” Weiner said.

State, Nashville leaders celebrate completion of Broadway Bridge replacement BY MATT MASTERS

State and local government and community leaders gathered in downtown Nashville on Wednesday afternoon for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Broadway Bridge Replacement Project, which took place throughout the summer. The event included remarks from Gov. Bill Lee, Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell and Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner Butch Eley. The $50 million-plus project began in

July and was closed throughout much of the summer, a closure that exacerbated downtown traffic jams before partially reopening in September. The state project was officially completed earlier this week ahead of the scheduled Oct. 31 completion date. “It’s a great story of how we can limit the disruptive impact of necessary infrastructure and development, and we have now improved not only the safety, but the

infrastructure that can handle the volume of people who are using it to come in and out of downtown everyday,” O’Connell said. “What this bridge represents is connectivity,” Eley said. “Connectivity to communities all over this area, west, east, north and south. It also represents access — Access to healthcare, access to education.” Eley also touted the project as one that prioritized access for pedestrians, including pedestrians with disabilities, but the planned

and now completed project drew criticism from some, including biking advocates, as the renovated bridge has no dedicated bike lanes. “This is a really good day for Nashville, and I’m grateful for all of you who have been the ones responsible for making it happen,” Lee said, calling Nashville “the envy of many cities across America.”

Council confirms O’Connell’s picks for legal, finance BY STEPHEN ELLIOTT

The Metro Council on Tuesday confirmed new Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s picks for finance and legal director. Kevin Crumbo, who was finance director during the first half of former Mayor John Cooper’s term, will return as interim finance director. Wally Dietz, hired by Cooper as director of the Metro Department of Law, will stay on under O’Connell.

“Nashville is lucky to have two distinguished public servants, and I look forward to working with them to guide the city forward,” O’Connell said. The mayor said earlier this month that his office would spend the rest of the year identifying a finance director “who can last the full term” but that budget planning for next year would likely start with Crumbo. Dietz is tasked with continuing oversight

of the city’s several lawsuits against the state, including over the size of the Metro Council and efforts to wrest control of the city’s sports and airport authorities. Nashville attorney Daniel Horwitz urged the Metro Council to reject Dietz’ appointment, arguing in a letter that the Department of Law attorneys “actively endanger the people that this body exists to serve by covering up malfeasance and mistreating people that the

Metropolitan Government has harmed.” Dietz dismissed the criticism, calling it “fundamentally flawed.” “I want to make it clear: We are not holding hostage a policy change that we believe would save lives,” Dietz said. This story was first published by our sister publication Nashville Post.

Senate race heats up with early poll, fundraising reports BY STEPHEN ELLIOTT

Gloria Johnson (left) and Marsha Blackburn The 2024 U.S. Senate race is picking up some steam as incumbent Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Democratic hopeful Gloria Johnson reported fundraising totals earlier this week. Both camps touted their hauls from the third quarter, Johnson’s first in the race, with Johnson announcing she had raised more than $1.3 million and Blackburn announcing a $2.7 million quarter. But Blackburn’s total was a mixture of several sources, with just $249,646 donated by individuals directly to her campaign (virtually all of Johnson’s money came from

individuals giving directly to her campaign). The Blackburn team also included totals from joint fundraising committees, transfers from a separate Blackburn fund, so-farunreported funds held in that fund and interest accrued on campaign cash. Still, Blackburn has a sizable advantage in cash on hand, with more than $6.5 million in the bank. Johnson has more than $1.2 million in the bank. Johnson still must win the Democratic primary for the chance to take on Blackburn. Also running is Marquita Bradshaw, a Memphis environmental activist who was

Music City Center names COO STAFF REPORTS

The Music City Center has appointed Kelli Donahoe as senior vice president and chief operating officer. A release notes Donahoe will replace Elisa Putman, who announced her retirement in April after nearly 35 years with the former Nashville Convention Center and the current building. Putman has served as senior vice president and chief operating officer for the last eight years. Donahoe will oversee the day-to-day operations of the 2.1-million-square-foot SoBro facility and will assist in the planning and implementation of all functions and resources of its departments. She will lead the directors of event services, security, parking, technology and facilities. From Tampa, Donahoe most recently she served as general manager of the Dayton Convention Center in Dayton, Ohio.

An Events Industry Council certified meeting professional fellow with more than 20 years of convention center sales and operations management experience, Donahoe also has worked with hospitality entities in Pittsburgh, Orlando and San Jose, Calif. “We’re thrilled to have Kelli join the team,” Music City Center President and CEO Charles Starks said in the release. “Her perspective, experience and drive will be a tremendous asset, not only for our team but also our guests, our community and our future as Nashville’s convention center.” The Music City Center offers more than 353,000 square feet of exhibit hall space, two ballrooms, 55 meeting rooms and a covered parking garage with 1,800 spaces.

the Democratic nominee in the 2020 Senate race won by Republican Bill Hagerty. Bradshaw has yet to report fundraising from the third quarter. Johnson, a Democratic state representative from Knoxville, reported contributions from Knoxville officials like Mayor Indya Kincannon and former Mayor Madeline Rogero, Democratic colleagues in the legislature including Sen. Jeff Yarbro and Rep. Jason Powell, and entertainment industry figures including Kim WilliamsPaisley, Peter Frampton, Callie Khouri and Roseanne Cash. Johnson lists four

paid staffers, and she reported spending $86,644.10. “We are just getting started,” Johnson said earlier this month. “The support we’ve seen this quarter is a testament to the power of grassroots organizing and the desire for effective, principled leadership in the Senate. I am committed to delivering results for the people of Tennessee and I’ll work my tail off to make sure their voices are heard in Washington.” Her spending was far less than the more than $500,000 spent by Blackburn during the quarter. Blackburn’s donors include local business executives Tim Hingtgen, Colin Reed, Jimmy Granbery, Cordia Harrington, Joelle Phillips and former Gov. Bill Haslam. Among Blackburn’s top 18 donors this year, just four were from Tennessee. Among Johnson’s donors at the same level, all were from Tennessee (though Florida investor Donald Sussman just missed the cut). “I am so grateful to all the Tennesseans across the state who have graciously donated to our campaign to keep Tennessee, Tennessee,” Blackburn said. “The conservative values and principles that define the Volunteer State are worth fighting for, and every donation helps us keep Tennessee red come next November.” One early poll of the race shows Blackburn with a big lead over Johnson. Emerson College found that 50 percent of registered voters support Blackburn, while 26 percent support Johnson, with 25 percent undecided. The Beacon Center is set to release another poll in the race next week. This story was first published by our sister publication Nashville Post.

Nashville’s Tennessee Titans: global reach, local pride BY BILL FREEMAN

spot on the squad, Paul proudly donned his Chestnut jersey. These stories show us how the Tennessee Titans, representing our great city of Nashville, have forged an international fan base, uniting people from various regions via a common love for the game of football and the city of Nashville itself. It’s clear our beautiful city and our beloved Titans are celebrated far and wide. It makes me proud to call Nashville my home. Bill Freeman Bill Freeman is the owner of FW Publishing, the publishing company that produces the Nashville Scene, Nfocus, the Nashville Post and The News.

LOGAN BUTTS ASSOCIATE EDITOR MATT MASTERS NEWS REPORTER AND PHOTOJOURNALIST NICOLLE S. PRAINO STAFF REPORTER

Tennessee Titans PHOTO BY JESSIE ROGERS/TENNESSEE TITANS In the pages of The Tennessean, I recently stumbled upon an intriguing story that made me feel very proud. The article cemented the fact that our beloved city and its pro football team, the Tennessee Titans, are not just making waves locally, but are gaining fame and admiration around the globe. At the center of this story is Jamie Cowperthwaite, a 49-year-old British anomaly. Raised in the town of Hull, he was introduced by his father to the music of Glen Campbell. He developed a profound affection for country music. Jamie turned this love into a career by hosting his own country music radio show, through which he shares the vibrant sounds of Nashville. When it came time to pick an NFL team to cheer for, Jamie Cowperthwaite’s deep-seated connections to Nashville’s rich culture left no room for doubt — the Titans were it. His devotion to the Titans spans approximately 15 years, a love affair that reached its zenith during a unique moment in London. Alongside his wife Miria, Jamie found himself among the enthusiastic crowd gathered at a London pub. This pep rally was a prelude to the much-anticipated game between the Titans and the Baltimore Ravens, part of the NFL International Series.

Amid the celebration, an extraordinary encounter transpired. Jamie was honored to meet none other than Titans’ controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, who graced the gathering, fueling the excitement of the fans. It wasn’t a high-profile event but an intimate connection between the team’s leadership and its global supporters. Here was Amy Adams Strunk, mingling with the crowd, embodying the Titans’ spirit and showing that the Titans’ reach extends beyond Tennessee’s borders. Taking Jamie’s experience as a testament to the Titans’ growing international allure, there are more stories that underscore Nashville’s rise as a city that captures the imagination of people worldwide. The Schmidts, Anne and Jonas, embarked on a unique journey from the German city Hanover to witness their cherished Titans in London. Their love for Nashville was sparked during a road trip across the United States in 2014 and solidified when they attended a Titans game in 2017. Their connection to our city has become so profound that Anne humorously suggested they would have postponed their wedding had the London game coincided with the big day. And why wouldn’t she feel that way?

Nashville was recently ranked No. 8 on Travel & Leisure’s “15 Favorite Cities in the United States” list. It’s little wonder, as so many from around the globe find Nashville one of the greatest places for culture, food, shopping and — of course — music and sports. But getting back to the Titans — remember when they were the Houston Oilers? As also reported by The Tennessean, Paul Tarr is a 59-year-old resident of Southampton, England, who boasts an intimate knowledge of American football. In the 1980s, he invested the equivalent of nearly $2,000 in modern U.S. dollars in his own football gear and joined a local league as a guard. Fueled by this passion for American football, Paul devised a rather unique method of choosing his NFL allegiance. Each week, he decided to support the team that had the worst outcome. The Houston Oilers suffered a severe defeat on one fateful Sunday, leading to a commitment that has lasted to this day. In an amusing twist, “He bet himself he’d buy a custom-made Julius Chestnut jersey if the former undrafted running back made it onto the 53-man roster this preseason.” Several months later, when Chestnut secured his

Belmont medical school secures preliminary accreditation, can begin recruiting BY HANNAH HERNER

The Thomas F. Frist, Jr. College of Medicine at Belmont University on Wednesday announced it has earned

preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, meaning the school can begin recruiting students.

Applications are set to open in early November for the inaugural class of 50 students, who will begin classes in the fall of 2024, according to a press release. The school will eventually accommodate 100 students per class. The LCME visited Belmont in July, and the college met 12 standards set by the committee to move to preliminary status. Next, the school will work toward provisional accreditation status after the first class has completed its first year, with full accreditation to follow as the inaugural class of students enter their fourth year, pending LCME approval. As a private school, Belmont will not have any requirements for balancing in-state and out-of-state students. The school also will not require students to be Christian, though associate dean for student affairs and diversity Karen Lewis told the Post in January, “We are very secure in our identity as a Christian or Christ-centered university.” Construction on the 246,000-square-

foot, six-story facility is set to be completed in spring 2024, according to the release. The university doubled its debt to build the medical school, according to a recent Bloomberg report. “Achieving preliminary accreditation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the future of medical education, and we are thrilled to continue our efforts and begin recruiting our first class,” said Frist College of Medicine Dean Dr. Anderson Spickard. “Our team has dedicated years to building the Frist College, embodying Dr. Frist’s entrepreneurial spirit and care for the whole person. From creating the College’s framework and recruiting a dedicated team of faculty and staff to writing curriculum and creating networks for student support, our team has diligently worked toward this achievement. I am eager to see our mission fully come to life as we train the next generation of doctors to care, love and heal.” This story was first published by our sister publication Nashville Post.

There’s a trunk or treat, a festival devoted to the beloved orange gourd, a haunted museum and a fall market.

Titans trade Kevin Byard to Eagles BY JOHN GLENNON

The Titans made it clear Monday they are looking to the future, trading safety Kevin Byard — a foundational piece of the franchise on and off the field — to the Philadelphia Eagles, per multiple reports. In exchange, the team received 2024 fifth- and sixth-round draft picks, along with veteran safety Terrell Edmunds, who will be a free agent following this season. Edmunds, a former first-round pick of Pittsburgh in 2018, has played in 86 games and made 77 starts over six years. He’s played seven games for the Eagles this year, starting two. The move means additional draft capital for the Titans, who — before this deal — had just six picks in the 2024 draft: a first-, second- and fourth-round selection, along with three seventh-round picks. In addition, the Titans open up significant cap room for next season, as Byard has a $14.1 million cap hit for 2024.

It could be the first of several moves for the Titans (2-4) as the NFL’s Oct. 31 trade deadline nears. Several of the team’s top players, such as running back Derrick Henry, quarterback Ryan Tannehill and defensive lineman Denico Autry, are in the final year of their contracts with Tennessee. In sending Byard to Philadelphia, the city of his birth, the Titans part ways with one of the franchise’s best and most popular players. The 30-year-old played eight seasons here, twice earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. Byard never missed a game, playing in 120 straight contests and making 27 interceptions and totaling 674 tackles. A Middle Tennessee State alum, Byard was a third-round choice of the Titans in 2016. This story was first published by our sister publication Nashville Post.

Local teams compete at volleyball state tournament BY LOGAN BUTTS

Several local teams competed in the TSSAA volleyball state tournament in Murfreesboro this week, with several making the final match and one taking home the title. After entering the always-competitive District 10-AAA Tournament as the sixth seed, the Nolensville Knights made it all the way to Friday’s AAA state championship game. Nolensville (30-16) started out the state tournament with a 3-0 win over West Ridge, followed by a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over East Hamilton. A 3-0 sweep by Cleveland — Nolensville’s eventual championship opponent — sent the Knights to the loser’s bracket. There, they fought their way back to a rematch with Cleveland with 3-1 win over Houston. In the title bout, the state’s best team

proved to be too much as Cleveland (43-8) swept Nolensville 25-21, 29-27, 25-18 in a hard-fought battle. Cleveland did not lose a set throughout the entire state tournament. Junior Kaira Knox led the Knights with 12 kills and 3 aces. Senior Marlee Holden and freshman Avery Ethridge each had seven digs. The loss was Nolensville’s first in a state final after wins in 2021 (AAA), 2020 (AA), and 2019 (AA). In the AA final, Valor College Prep (30-6) fell to Signal Mountain (30-6) in four games: 25-20, 23-25, 25-20, 25-20. Providence Christian Academy (36-3) brought home Middle Tennessee’s only state title with a win over St. George’s (17-17) in the Division II-A championship match.

U.S. men’s soccer team thrashes Ghana at Geodis BY JOHN GLENNON

It’s unlikely the U.S. men’s national soccer team will forget its first visit to Nashville’s Geodis Park anytime soon. Just three days after getting knocked around the pitch for a half in a one-sided loss to Germany, the Americans responded with one of their best halves in recent memory. The U.S. completely dominated Ghana in the opening 45 minutes on Tuesday, Oct. 17, scoring four goals that held up for a 4-0 win against a team that’s traditionally played well against the Americans. The match was also significant in a second way, as talented American midfielder Gio Reyna scored two of his team’s goals, perhaps bringing resolution to an off-field feud between him and U.S. coach Gregg

Berhalter that dated back to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. It was Reyna’s second game back with the U.S. following the World Cup — he also played Saturday against Germany — and his first goal for country since June 2021. Reyna scored the first and fourth goals of the contest, marking his first two-goal game for the U.S. “I thought Gio was really, really good today,” Berhalter said. “Besides the goals, it was how he brings players into the attack, how he is able to be calm on the ball … and the poise that we need at times, but then is decisive when making final passes. “To me, this performance was just really an indicator of his entire camp. He had, as

I said before, a very strong camp — great mindset, great training sessions. To me, it’s not only offensive stuff he did tonight. It’s more what he did off the ball — I think relentless work. We talked about that before the game, relentless work rate defensively, and he certainly did that.” Team captain Christian Pulisic scored on a penalty kick, after Tim Weah drew a foul, and Folarin Balogun also scored for the Americans. It was a relentless display of skill and offense in the first 45 minutes for the hosts, who used their third-youngest lineup of the year. The 11 starters had an average age of 23 years, 191 days. “To me, it’s a work in progress,” Berhalter said. “Our job is to continue to build and progress and get better as a group. When you see a half like the first half we played, it certainly is a marker that we’re getting better and improving. So that’s important. But it’s still going to take work, it’s still going to take focus and progress by the whole group to where we need to be.” Ghana, ranked 60th in the world, is not the same caliber opponent as 15thranked Germany, which repeatedly poked holes in the U.S. defense during the second half of the Americans’ 3-1 loss on Saturday in Connecticut. But the U.S. vowed to learn from the Germany defeat and looked much improved against the Black Stars. The Americans weren’t as dangerous in the second half as the first, but played

responsibly, holding Ghana in check and forcing goalie Matt Turner to make just one difficult save. “We were disappointed after the Germany game and had a number of things to work on,” Berhalter said. “I felt like the team responded really well. We were looking for aggression. We were looking for, in the back line, ball movement from side to side, breaking the middle and going wide, and I think we did a good job of that. “Overall, we talked about using the two games as a learning experience. I think we certainly did that. We got some great information from the Germany game and we were able to compete against a really talented Ghanian team, and get a good result.” The game was the U.S. team’s first in Nashville since a September 2021 draw against Canada in a World Cup qualifier at Nissan Stadium. The Americans have played in Music City nine times, posting a 5-2-2 record — 4-0-2 in their last six visits here. “I certainly saw the group confident in attack,” Berhalter said. “I think we’re confident we can hurt teams with the ball. And it showed against Germany. It showed again tonight. That was really good. Again, it’s about, in these high, high-level games, keeping a shutout, keeping the opponent limited to a few chances, and that’s something we did tonight.” This story was first published by our sister publication Nashville Post.

Studio Tenn opens new Turner Theater with rousing ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ BY AMY STUMPFL

Cal Turner, namesake of Turner Theater, cuts the ribbon to officially open Studio Tenn’s permanent home. PHOTO COURTESY OF LILY NELSON / STUDIO TENN As ticket holders gathered at The Factory at Franklin Thursday night, it was clear that they were celebrating more than just the opening of a new theatrical season for Studio Tenn Theatre Company. In fact, they were raising the curtain on a whole new era for both Studio Tenn and the entire arts community with the grand opening of the new Turner Theater. Named for longtime Studio Tenn supporter Cal Turner, this multi-million dollar, 319-seat performance venue was first

unveiled on Thursday morning with a wellattended ribbon-cutting ceremony. And later that evening, a red-carpet reception spilled out to the Skylight Bar in The Factory’s Grand Hall, ahead of a sold-out performance of Million Dollar Quartet. And what better way to kick off Studio Tenn’s 14th season than with the Tony Award-winning musical, which captures a magical moment in music history. Inspired by the actual 1956 recording session that brought together burgeoning rock and roll

legends Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins, Million Dollar Quartet serves up more than 20 hit songs, from“ Blue Suede Shoes” and “Great Balls of Fire” to“ I Walk the Line,” “Hound Dog” and many more. As always, artistic director Patrick Cassidy has assembled a stellar cast, including some truly impressive MDQ veterans. Make no mistake about it – this is not just a tribute show. These cats can play. From the opening number right down to the dazzling finale, they had Thursday’s enthusiastic crowd dancing in their seats. Jefferson McDonald (who also serves as the production’s music supervisor) absolutely wows the audience as Jerry Lee Lewis, banging out tunes like “Real Wild Child” and “Great Balls of Fire” in electrifying fashion. Christopher Wren also impresses as Carl Perkins, delivering scorching guitar licks and plenty of rockabilly attitude with “Who Do You Love?” and “See You Later Alligator.” Meanwhile, Cole captures the singular style of Elvis Presley, offering rich vocals and plenty of hip-swiveling fun in “That’s All Right” and “Long Tall Sally.” And Christopher J. Essex is simply mesmerizing as Johnny Cash, serving up familiar hits

such as “Folsom Prison Blues” and “I Walk the Line” with quiet confidence and incredible musicality. Nashville’s own Moot Davis also is terrific as Sun Records’ Sam Phillips, anchoring the piece and guiding us through the narrative with wry humor. Emma Rose Williamson is excellent as Elvis’ lady friend Dyanne, with smoldering renditions of “Fever” and “I Hear You Knocking.” And Jared Manzo and Blake Oswald provide ample support as upright bass player Jay Perkins and drummer Fluke. The production benefits from Michael Barnett’s exquisite lighting, along with Mark Zuckerman’s crisp sound. And it’s really exciting to have Studio Tenn’s founding artistic director Matt Logan on hand to provide such marvelously detailed scenic and costumes designs. Yes, you might say that there’s a “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” over at Studio Tenn these days. Part rock concert, part nostalgiafest, Million Dollar Quartet provides a wildly-entertaining season-opener that is guaranteed to have you on your feet. Million Dollar Quartet continues through Nov. 5 at the Turner Theater, in The Factory at Franklin. Visit studiotenn.com for complete details.

Artclectic Patron Party BY BRENDA BATEY

PHOTOS BY BRENDA BATEY The Artclectic Patron Party was held at University School of Nashville (USN) and chaired by Sarah Bishop, Angie Howard and Jennie Zagnoev. The Patron Party chairs were Katherine Hale, Clare Martinez, and Magda Schleicher. Local treasure James Threalkill was the Artclectic 2023 Featured Artist and is a parent of a USN alumna. A Nashville native and graduate of East Nashville High School, Vanderbilt University and Peabody College of Vanderbilt, the Emmy Awardwinning artist has a history of working with youth in the Edgehill community, utilizing art as a tool for creative and educational development. Artclectic showcased more than 50 emerging and established artists, chosen by a panel of expert jurors, who gathered for the school’s signature fundraising event. In three days of gallery events, art lovers were able to see and purchase an eclectic mix of paintings, photography, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, and woodworks.

Caterer Juniper Green provided a bountiful buffet, offering charred squash hummus, crudite, grilled flatbread, cheeses, spiced nuts, fruit, steak sliders, roasted root vegetable skewers, prosciutto and fig jam on buttermilk thyme biscuits, and much more. Now in its 27th year, proceeds from the event are earmarked for the Artclectic Endowment Fund for Innovative Teaching. The show provides funds for the teachers to attend workshops, explore new ways of teaching, and bring back innovative and visionary ideas to share with the students. Among the artists who participated in the show were: Katie Adams, Mick Beisel, Jason Brueck, Martha Case Nemer, Sarah Clinton, Amy Crews, Matthew Stair Dennis, Stephen Douglas, Sara Eberhart, Katie Gonzalez, Sue Graef, Adam Harris, Savannah Jewell, Joshua Jones, Daniel Lai, Sarah Mason, Keavy Murphree, Randy Purcell, Margaret Ellis, Brennan Roach, Edward Rittenberg, Joe Smiley, and Jim Weaver.

Leslie Liautaud’s Birthday: Elton John Performs PHOTOS BY JASON BIHLER PHOTOGRAPHY Music City was abuzz Saturday night when Sir Elton John took the stage at The Twelve Thirty Club in Nashville to serenade an A-list crowd for a private birthday soiree. Hosted by Jimmy Liautaud in honor of wife Leslie Liautaud’s birthday, the party took place in the lavish 400-seat Supper Club at The Twelve Thirty Club which crowns the multi-story entertainment venue located on Upper Broadway. Guests enjoyed dinner followed by a once-in-a-lifetime performance by Sir Elton John. It’s not unusual for music’s biggest names to make appearances at The Twelve Thirty Club, and this was one for the books. John took the stage after dinner

and kicked off his 12-song set with “Your Song” followed by other favorites including “Tiny Dancer”, “Candle”, “Rocket Man”, “Philadelphia” and ending with “Standing”, which he dedicated to the guest of honor who he also serenated with the “Happy Birthday” song. During the performance, the packed house flooded the dance floor and swayed to the music. The event was attended by Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Eric Church, Theo Von, Caleb Presley, Jake Owen, Emeril Lagasse, DJ Irie, and The Twelve Thirty Club founder Sam Fox.
