The game teaches. It is a saying with many iterations used in many languages about the game of football, or soccer as we call it in the U.S. As a country we have plenty that we can learn from the beautiful game.

Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, and a unifying force globally. A full 20 percent of the world’s population plays soccer, and 3.2 billion people watched the 2014 World Cup. Humanity, to some extent, stops what it is doing every four years to watch our nations compete.

Soccer is a communal experience that brings people together unlike any other pastime on the planet.

Soccer is a sport that can bring out the best in people. The game relies simultaneously on human instinct and teamwork. The greatest players direct a match with creativity and personality, not just athleticism.

Soccer also appeals to both genders.

While men are predominant in the sport professionally, the women’s side of the game has made amazing strides. The U.S. Women’s National Team has become a global symbol of empowerment and accomplishment for young women everywhere.

Here in Nashville, we have a once-in-alifetime opportunity to bring our city together with the sport of soccer. A group of civic, business and sports leaders are spearheading a bid to win Nashville one of the final four Major League Soccer expansion teams. Nashville has a very real shot at being chosen for a team, and the implications go far beyond just the pitch.

According to the Mayor’s Office of New Americans, as of 2012, Nashville had the fastest-growing immigrant population of any American city. Almost 12 percent of Nashville’s population is now foreign-born.

Nashville has become a place where New Americans come to start businesses, raise families and join our democracy. They have brought their love of soccer with them.

As a city, we have the opportunity to further cement our sense of community and to extend our welcoming atmosphere by embracing Major League Soccer. Attend any of the international soccer matches held in Nissan Stadium to see the possibilities. The crowd is a diverse, rich mix of all races and both genders — white, black, Latino and more. Bringing a Major League Soccer team to Nashville will allow us to come together more frequently as one community on the world stage, playing the world’s game.

Nashville is riding a high, enjoying unparalleled growth. Can we do more? Can we become more? Can we take our place among truly global cities? We can, and we should.

At a time in American history when so many people are divided, soccer can be a unifying force here at home.

Major League Soccer can be the next major step for Nashville as a city. I encourage our leaders in Metro government to support this movement.

The DeATh of MADison BAilee DeAl

by Cari Wade Gervin

A

round lunchtime on Monday, Aug. 15, 2016, Madison Bailee Deal called her mother, Lee Anne, from Silverdale Detention Facility in Chattanooga.

Deal, a 26-year-old former high school cheerleader and softball player, had turned herself in the previous Wednesday after a bench warrant had been issued for a probation violation — she had failed to complete the required community service after shoplifting a dog collar for her pet chihuahua at Walmart.

“My chest is hurting,” Deal told her mother in a three-and-a-half minute phone call. “I’m dehydrated. I can’t walk because my kidneys are fucked up. I can barely breathe because my chest is inflamed. It’s really fucking bad. Really bad. I don’t know what to do. …

“I need to go to the fucking hospital and nobody’s listening to me here,” Deal sobbed.

“OK, OK, I’ll see what I can do,” an emotional Lee Anne responded. “Just please keep trying to drink something.”

Twenty-four hours later, Madison Bailee Deal collapsed, unconscious. Two days later she was dead.

••• Growing up, Bailee Deal was the kind of girl everyone wanted to be friends with, according to her family.

“She was a very kindhearted person,” says her grandmother, Norma O’Neal.

“She never talked bad about people. She could always find something good about somebody.” But Deal also had a strong sense of justice, once chasing down much older neighborhood bike thieves in her bare feet.

“She took care of things,” Lee Anne says.

Deal also reinvented herself more than once. When she transferred to public school after attending a private Christian elementary school, Bailee decided she now wanted to be called Madison (although her family still calls her Bailee). Deal played softball for years and made the cheerleading squad at East Ridge High School before deciding she wanted to focus more on her art and outdoors activities like hiking and climbing. By the time she died, Deal’s blond hair had been twisted and plaited into dreadlocks down to her waist.

Deal never drank much, not growing up nor once she reached legal age. She started smoking pot in high school; her parents aren’t quite sure when. But they are sure that when her rival for homecoming court planted a pipe in Deal’s locker in eighth grade and told the principal to get Deal disqualified, Deal was not using marijuana then.

Likewise, her parents don’t know when

Deal started taking pills. They say she never abused pot, but then something changed, after one of her best friends died in fall 2013. By April 2014 Deal moved in with O’Neal to try to break free from her oxycodone addiction. She couldn’t afford rehab and didn’t have health insurance, but she did start getting suboxone from a clinic and going to counseling.

“She wanted to get clean,” Lee Anne says.

“She wanted to get away from it all,” her father Bruce adds.

But sobriety didn’t stick, and Deal eventually turned to heroin, like so many others, because it was cheaper and more available than pills. She kept the habit hidden from her family and kept working part-time jobs in the restaurant industry, sometimes traveling to music festivals to sell jewelry she had crafted. And she kept trying to quit drugs, only to start up again.

But by August 2016, her family says, Deal was ready for a fresh start. All she had to do was get her probation violation sorted out, and she’d get sober, for good.

“The last time I saw her alive was that Tuesday night,” says O’Neal. “We went to Walmart and she got ice cream and all this stuff, and she asked me if she could have it, and I said yeah. And I just remember her running around Walmart — seeing her little face and buying her stuff. And that was the last time I saw her alive.”

••• Deal’s parents have filed a federal wrongful-death lawsuit against Nashvillebased CoreCivic, alleging “they knowingly and with deliberate indifference to her constitutional rights denied her reasonable medical treatment for serious and obvious medical conditions, which were actually and constructively known by them as well as lay witnesses, thereby causing her extensive physical and emotional pain, suffering and death.”

Correct Care Solutions, the contractor responsible for the prison’s medical care, is also named as a defendant, as are Hamilton County and several nurses, guards and staff who allegedly ignored or incorrectly treated Deal’s symptoms during the week she was in custody.

The details of Deal’s rapid decline, as described in the lawsuit, make for difficult and gruesome reading. The filing also includes excerpts of phone conversations between Deal and her mother, the full recordings of which were provided to the Scene.

According to the lawsuit, when Deal turned herself in that Wednesday, she was perfectly healthy, except for her heroin problem. By the next day, her chills and

A year after an inmate’s death in a CoreCivic prison, her family is still reeling — and wants answers

Madison Bailee deal

“i’ve been throwing up for six days straight, and oh my god, i think my blood sugar is about to bottom out, i can’t even stand up.”

—madison bailee deal nausea from withdrawal were constant, exacerbated by spending 18 hours on a mat on the floor in a holding cell with seven other women before being assigned to a specific “pod” in the prison.

On Friday, Deal told prison staff that she was sick and that she couldn’t stop throwing up. However, the medical intake form completed that morning shows no evidence of her being ill.

“It was a bad mistake to even come here,” Deal tells her mother in a phone call. “I should’ve just ran to the hills. At least I’m in a room with the sun.”

Later Friday night, Deal was attacked by three inmates who mistakenly thought she had tobacco. A medical examination afterward noted bruising and abrasions but still had no mention of Deal’s withdrawal symptoms.

By Saturday Deal was pale and and too weak to eat. A dozen inmates allegedly told prison staff that Deal needed treatment. A nurse finally examined her that afternoon and prescribed Phenergan injections, a drug that decreases nausea; however, Deal told her mother Sunday morning that she had not yet been given any drugs.

At some point on Sunday, Deal was finally given Phenergan. But by that point, Deal couldn’t stop vomiting what inmates described as “black bile” that “smelled like feces.” On Sunday night, she called her mother and said she couldn’t keep anything

down, not even Kool-Aid. Whatever shots they were giving her, she said, were not helping.

“It’s not fucking helping at all,” a weak-sounding Deal tells her mother. “I’ve been throwing up for six days straight, and oh my God, I think my blood sugar is about to bottom out, I can’t even stand up.”

That night, Deal was too weak to climb on to the top bunk. On Monday, her skin was ashen, with one inmate describing her as looking like “a zombie.” By the afternoon, she was having trouble breathing. But when one inmate tried to get help, she was allegedly told by a nurse, “If she can shoot up by herself, then she can walk by herself.”

By Tuesday morning, Deal’s skin had turned blue. She told other inmates that she felt like she was dying.

Two inmates allegedly had to carry her to the morning pill call at 10:15, yet one nurse wrote up the encounter, “[Deal] stated that she was feeling better and wanted to try to eat lunch. [Inmate] received Phenergan and returned to her dorm to wait on lunch no further complaints or distress.”

An hour later, Deal collapsed. The prison records say emergency personnel were called promptly and that oxygen was administered. Inmates who witnessed the scene say otherwise, according to the lawsuit — that there was a delay before anyone was called, that no treatment was administered, that Deal just lay on a stretcher dying as one inmate shouted at the staff to help her.

Eventually Deal was transferred to Erlanger Hospital. Hospital staff had to cut off all Deal’s beloved dreadlocks — they were encrusted in vomit, with no way to be cleaned. Deal’s family says doctors told them Deal was already brain-dead by this point from lack of oxygen. She died two days later, on Thursday, Aug. 18, 2016.

Although the prison’s medical records state that Deal had “unlabored breathing” and that her lungs sounded “clear” at the time of her collapse, an autopsy shows Deal died of pneumonia contracted from inhaling her own vomit. There were no drugs in her system.

“She always said she would take care of me, she would be the one to take care of me when I got old,” O’Neal says. “She was just a sweet little girl.”

••• In a response to the lawsuit, CoreCivic denies all allegations of wrongdoing.

Amanda Gilchrist, the public affairs manager for the company, also commented in an email, “While we don’t comment on ongoing litigation and medical privacy laws preclude us from providing details concerning the medical treatment of an inmate, we are committed to the safety and well-being of every inmate entrusted to our care at Silverdale and all facilities we manage.”

The lawsuit is seeking $20 million in damages. A trial date has been set for January 2019. email editor@NashvillesceNe.com

n August, every house on the Headline Homes list sold for more than $2 million. For most of us, that’s obviously a lot of money, but the average square footage wasn’t what you might expect for a figure that high. Square footage of 7,000 is pretty normal for Headline Homes, but in August, many houses on the list didn’t break that number.

Oktoberfest is the quintessential fall festival, and the folks behind Nashville’s version say it’s the second-biggest in the U.S. The fest spans 10 blocks in Germantown, one of the city’s hottest neighborhoods for food — Von Elrod’s, a much-anticipated new Germantown beer garden/restaurant from chef Jason Brumm and restaurateur Austin Ray, has promised to be open in time for the fest.

A lot of heavy hitters are in on this dinner, to be served on the field at the Nashville Sounds’ First Tennessee Park. Hosted by chef Ryan Poli of The Catbird Seat, joined by his brother Matthew Poli, Catbird’s

Two of the most influential figures in Nashville’s restaurant evolution, chefs Margot McCormack and Tandy oktoberfest Wilson, top the culinary roster at this year’s Farmhand Dinner at the Nashville Farmers’ Market. More than a dozen other chefs will pitch in for this casual, family-style five-course meal; the event benefits the market and honors the agricultural heroes who produce the ingredients.

sept. 29: BacoN & Barrel Festival at the Nashville Farmers’ market If you love cocktails, fall is the time to bring brown spirits — rich and barrel-aged — back to their place of honor. That’s one reason why the Bacon & Barrel Festival is so popular.

Stroll the Farmers’ Market and sip samples of bourbon while chatting with distillers about their products; the beverages are complemented by bacon-studded creations from a passel of popular restaurants.

beverage director, the tour is an event from the prestigious James Beard Foundation. Other chefs taking part include Nashville’s Tony Galzin (Nicky’s Coal Fired) and Julia Sullivan (Henrietta Red) and several Beard Award winners from around the country.

Cooler Food

From top food events to exciting new restaurants, there’s a lot to explore in Nashville this fall

by DANA Kopp FrANKLIN

N

ot only is the bounty of the fall harvest entering kitchens all over town, Nashville’s weather is also finally cooperating — temperate days and golden sunlight enhance patios and outdoor festivals. We’ve rounded up some ideas for food events and outings to investigate this autumn, including two recent openings.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, a must-visit this fall is plaza mariachi, the colorful new mini-mall on Nolensville Road that features shops, music, cultural events, and lots and lots of food. Not only are there multiple restaurants and a food court on the premises, the complex is anchored by Maz Fresco, a full-service grocery store that specializes in Mexican and Latin American products.

It’s easier to tuck into hearty fare when summer’s swelter eases, so now is a good time to head over to hugh-Baby’s, barbecue master Pat Martin’s salute to the burger shacks of his youth in West Tennessee. The burgers and fries at this Charlotte Avenue eatery are so good that I’m tempted to try the quirkiest thing on the menu: the Slugburger, available Fridays only, which is a Depression-era specialty featuring a patty of ground pork mixed with soymeal that is deep-fried and served with onions and mustard. Good gravy! The menu of milkshakes, made to order, is less exotic but plenty delightful if a Slugburger sounds too adventurous.

And speaking of new places to eat, autumn is peak time for restaurant openings, as entrepreneurs rush to launch in time for the lucrative holiday season (and before the traditionally dead days of January). Nashville’s pace of restaurant openings keeps speeding along, so keep an eye on the Scene for coverage of other new eateries.

oct. 29: the WeekNd at bRidgestoNe aReNa The alt-R&B ace and 21st-century bad boy rolls in on the tour behind his multi-platinum LP Starboy. If his Bonnaroo set was any indication, it’ll be a no-filler blast of dark and sexy jams. STEPHEN TRAGESER

Nov. 9: gobliN at exit/iN The legendary Italian prog group, known for their work on the soundtracks of films by horror auteur Dario Argento, passed us by on their first U.S. tour in 2013. Though they’re a couple months late for the Belcourt’s Italo Shock! film series (which included a special extended cut of Argento’s Suspiria), it’s well worth the wait. STEPHEN

oct. 9-11, 13-15: JasoN isbell at the RymaN It’s October, which almost always means a bunch of Jason Isbell shows at the Ryman.

The King of Americana’s nearly annual residency at the Mother Church has grown to six nights this year, befitting the release of his outstanding album The Nashville Sound.

On the record, Isbell shows that — despite the traditional roots of his music — he is unabashedly an artist of the moment, who addresses sexism and racism in nuanced ways. Amanda Shires, The McCrary Sisters, Julien Baker, Bettye LaVette, The Secret Sisters and Lydia Loveless will each open a night of the run. STEVEN HALE

Nov. 9: couRtNey baRNett aNd kuRt vile at the RymaN Well, here’s a perfect match-up: Two of the most interesting writers in the cadre of left-field guitar-centric pop have recorded a collaborative LP. Due in October via Merge and titled Lotta Sea Lice (a reference to The Sea Lice, their all-star band featuring members of Quasi, Sleater-Kinney, Vile’s own band The Violators, Warpaint and others), early tracks like “Over Everything” show off the exact kind of elevated stream-of-consciousness riffing you’d hope for. STEPHEN

oct. 13: mike Floss at exit/iN One of the finest MCs yet to emerge from Music City — and that’s not damning by faint praise, because we’ve been fortunate to have quite a few — is throwing down in celebration of his new album Tennessee Daydreams. The record’s production features the fruits of a partnership with SykSense, a fellow Nashvillian whose résumé includes work for Drake and Travis Scott, as well as the superb storytelling he’s known for.

Chris Stapleton is the kind of country headliner we’d love to see more of at the downtown enormodome — especially now that he’s armed with tunes from his 2015 smashhit solo debut Traveller as well as From A Room: Vol. 1, the first of two albums he’s slated to release this year. STEVEN HALE

Following their 2016 re-formation after a fiveyear hiatus, the synth-enhanced art punks are touring behind American Dream, their first album since 2010.

f you’re looking for a way to kick off fall, it’s hard to beat the third annual Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival, which happens this Saturday and Sunday at Franklin’s picturesque Park at Harlinsdale Farm.

The Pilgrimage music and Right out of the gate, Better Than culTural FesTival sePT. 23-24 aT The Park aT Ezra frontman (and harlinsdale Farm Franklin resident) Kevin Griffin and the rest of the team behind Pilgrimage hit all the sweet spots for a festival: It’s convenient and familyfriendly, with an easy-to-navigate layout and plenty of porta-potties and food trucks. The sound at the first two festivals was remarkably good by the standard of outdoor concerts, and even the scheduling has been carefully planned to limit conflicting time slots. Most importantly, Pilgrimage has consistently booked a solid mix of talent, and this year is no exception.

Saturday offers a range of soul, Americana and pop artists on the two main stages, Midnight Sun and Gold Record Road. Pop superstar Justin timberlake, who signed on as co-producer of the festival in 2016 after purchasing a home in Leiper’s Fork, comes out to meet the neighbors with the day’s headlining set at Midnight Sun. That stage also features

Nashville sceNe | september 21 – september 27, 2017 | nashvillescene.com

the superb pairing of locals Ruby amanfu and steelism and their mix of country and soul, as well as Crescent City R&B masters trombone shorty and orleans avenue and pop outfit Walk the moon. Gold Record Road hosts outlaw-country-inspired Nashvillian Nikki lane, Griffin and better than ezra, blues-inspired rocker gary clark Jr. and Americana favorites the avett brothers. Highlights of the smaller stages include danceable, thoughtful pop from sinclair and stellar country and bluegrass from Jerry douglas band at the Harpeth River stage, as well as outstanding songs from angaleena presley and aaron lee tasjan on the Shady Grove stage.

Sunday’s headliner is Pearl Jam frontman eddie vedder, who follows powerful soul and gospel acts like mavis staples and the settles connection (led by children of The Fairfield Four’s Watler J. Settles) at Midnight Sun. Rock ’n’ pop Americana standard-bearer Ryan adams, R&B-pop champs Fitz and the tantrums and recently crowned Americana Music Association Duo/Group of the Year marty stuart and his Fabulous superlatives are among those who’ll take to Gold Record Road.

On a related note, amanda shires, a deft and poignant songwriter who is also the AMA’s Emerging Artist of the Year and a recent Scene cover girl, plays on the Harpeth River stage, as well as vintage blues-and-soul man pokey laFarge, folkleaning songsmith karen elson and young electric blues phenom kingfish. The Shady Grove boasts soulful talent like charlie crockett (who happens to be country and Tejano ace Freddy Fender’s son) and the supremely smooth devon gilfillian.

As long as the weather cooperates — a heat wave was the only sour note of Pilgrimage 2016 — the weekend should be an outstanding start to a season jampacked with great shows. Check pilgrimagefestival.com for a complete schedule and ticket information.

Nov. 15: Jay-Z at bRidgestoNe aReNa A lot has happened in the eight years since Jay-Z last played Nashville: He’s released three albums, had three children and, apparently, almost blown up his marriage to Beyoncé by cheating on her with someone named “Becky.” He works through all of that on his latest record, 4:44, a return to form after the disappointing Magna Carta Holy Grail. Maybe Hov isn’t the best rapper alive anymore — that has to be Kendrick Lamar — but he’s still The Best Rapper Alive. Allow him to reintroduce himself. STEVEN HALE

Nov. 22: st. viNceNt at the RymaN All the hints Annie Clark has dropped so far about her forthcoming LP Masseduction indicate it’s going to be every bit as ambitious and fascinating as her previous efforts. The night before Thanksgiving, she returns to the Mother Church for the first time since her 2012 tour with David Byrne. STEPHEN TRAGESER

Nov. 30: JulieN bakeR at maRathoN music WoRks Turn Out the Lights, Memphis-born singersongwriter Julien Baker’s first album for Matador Records, offers some of her most intensely emotional work yet. If you didn’t catch Baker opening for Jason Isbell, here’s your chance to get leveled by someone’s words. STEPHEN TRAGESER

dec. 14-15: bully at meRcy louNge One of the best rock bands in Nashville — or any city, for that matter — wraps the first leg of the tour for its sophomore LP Losing with a two-night homecoming. Preview tracks from the album, due in October via venerable indie Sub Pop, suggest it will be the perfect extension of the sugar-andgravel hooks and smart, personal songwriting they delivered on their breakout debut LP Feels Like.

Best of the Fest The Southern Festival of Books brings notable names to Nashville this season by megan seling

E

very fall some of the country’s most exciting authors descend upon Nashville to participate in the southern festival of Books, and this year’s lit-nerd party has an especially enticing lineup — there’s a vice president, mulThe SouThern FeSTival oF BookS tiple Pulitzer ocT. 13-15 aT War MeMorial Prize winners, Plaza and The naShville PuBlic award-winning liBrary doWnToWn poets and journalists and too many bestselling authors to count. There’s an impressive array of up-and-coming locals, too.

The festival is free, and events are open to all on a first-come-first-served basis. Here are just a few of the highlights — a full schedule is available at humanitiestennessee.org.

On Friday, New York Times bestselling author Jami attenberg (who is wonderful on Twitter, btw) will read from her latest novel, All Grown Up. It’s a story about a childless 39-yearold New Yorker attempting to maneuver through relationships with friends and family as they settle

into lives that are antithetical to what she has (or even wants) — getting married, having babies, being a dedicated-but-broke artist. Newsweek called the national bestseller “sexy, charming and impossible to put down.”

Saturday brings the festival’s biggest star, former Vice President al gore, who will discuss his latest documentary and its companion book, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power. An Inconvenient Sequel was first intended to follow Gore’s progress as he worked with world leaders to combat climate change, ultimately resulting in the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement. But the documentary had to be reworked when, before the film’s release, President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the agreement. Gore will surely have plenty to say about that.

Also on Saturday is an appearance by omar el akkad, a Canadian journalist who’s covered everything from the Arab Spring to the Black Lives Matter movement. This year El Akkad released his first novel, American

the turbulent 2016 presidential election and, after that, President Trump’s inexplicable actions. In his new book, What Unites Us, Rather follows those thoughts even more deeply, examining what it means to be an American today. Advance tickets for his talk are available at wmarocks.org.

2015. The New York Times said the book is a “haunting and beautiful debut story collection,” and Quade won the 2015 National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize.

She visits Vanderbilt as part of the university’s Gertrude & Harold Vanderbilt Visiting Writers Series.

Nov. 6: coliN Meloy aNd carsoN ellis at the Nashville puBlic liBrary dowNtowN Music fans may know Colin Meloy as the frontman for the lit-loving indie-pop outfit The Decemberists, but anyone who follows children’s literature knows Meloy as a talented author, too — which isn’t really surprising if you’ve ever dug in deep on some of those poetic Decemberists lyrics.

In November, he and his wife Carson Ellis, an accomplished artist and illustrator, will read from their new middle-grade book The Whiz Mob and the Grenadine Kid, due to be released Oct. 24.

Nov. 11: literary award gala feat. elizaBeth gilBert at the Nashville puBlic liBrary dowNtowN This year’s recipient of the Nashville Public Library Literary Award is Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, which has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. If a pricey gala ticket is out of reach, Gilbert and Ann Patchett are hosting a discussion

On Sunday, cookbook author (and James Beard Award nominee) stella parks will talk about her new cookbook Bravetart. Named one of the country’s best new pastry chefs

by Food & Wine magazine, Parks brings athome baking to a new, nostalgia-drenched level with her latest, supplying recipes for all of your favorite childhood snacks — including homemade Nutter Butters, McDonald’s-style apple hand pies, Fig Newtons, Twinkies, Oreos and Thin Mints.

Bravetart even shows you how to make your own rainbow sprinkles from scratch.

May you never have to purchase a tube of colorful carnauba wax again.

Several local authors will also be hosting readings and discussions, including No. 1 New York Times bestseller victoria schwab, music critic holly gleason, songwriter peter cooper, Nashville’s youth poet laureate cassidy Martin and young-adult author Jeff zentner.

earlier in the day, at 10 a.m., at Montgomery Bell Academy. Tickets are free, but must be reserved in advance. They will be available Oct. 2 at nashvillepubliclibrary.org/ salon615.

Lizzie Borden’s sensationalized doublehomicide case of 1892 is the subject of Nashville Ballet artistic director Paul Vasterling’s latest dance. This new work will be paired with choreographer Christopher Stuart’s new dance based on the Edgar Allan Poe poem “The Raven.”

Nashville Opera will bring Puccini’s Tosca to life in October

by John pitcher

G

iacomo Puccini’s Tosca stunned the opera world at its premiere in 1900. The work, which is now widely regarded as perhaps the greatest verismo opera of all time, was viewed primarily as a shocker when first staged. Within the space of its three-hour running time, the opera presented its Victorian-era audience with scenes of torture, murder and suicide. Few theatrical works had ever embraced such violence.

The passage of time has diminished much of Tosca’s shock value, Nashville Opera’s artistic Tosca director John Hoomes tells the Scene. “AudiOct. 5 & 7 at tPac’s JacksOn Hall ences today probably consider Tosca to be no more shocking than a Matt Damon political thriller,” he says. “It’s just another story about good versus evil.

But it remains a powerful story, and people everywhere continue to love it.”

Nashvillians will get their chance to love Tosca this fall, when Nashville Opera stages the Puccini classic at TPAC’s Jackson Hall Oct. 5 & 7. There’s much to recommend this production. The set, on loan from Virginia Opera, is lavish and large, re-creating the architectural splendor of Rome during the Napoleonic Wars. The Nashville Opera Orchestra, conducted by Dean Williamson, will be in the pit, performing Tosca’s exceptionally colorful and compelling score. And the production’s large cast of supernumeraries and choristers will lend a touch of Cecil B. DeMille-like grandeur, especially when they march in glorious procession at the end of Act 1.

For opera aficionados, the main attraction will likely be the soprano Jennifer Rowley, who sings the title role. Hoomes

The Blair School of Music’s quartet-inresidence presents the world premiere of composer Michael Alec Rose’s sixth quartet, titled Rousseaux. Works by Dvořák and Smetana are also on the program.

oct. 24: alias at w.o. smith music school

tosca auditioned Rowley in New York for a couple of years and was impressed with the size and beauty of her voice. Her artistry has grown since then, and so has her fame. In May, she starred opposite tenor Roberto Alagna in a production of Cyrano de Bergerac at the Metropolitan Opera. The New York Times declared her performance a “breakthrough,” noting that she “sang with an intensity of expression and a subtly embittered sound that suggested a singer of enormous gift and promise.”

Recognizing this promise, the Metropolitan Opera has signed Rowley to perform in five of its productions over the next three years, including the lead in the Met’s own production of Tosca in January 2018.

Rowley’s interpretation of Tosca is somewhat novel. Puccini’s famed character is usually portrayed as an older, experienced woman — one who demands absolute fealty from her lover, the painter Cavaradossi, and one who can hold her own against the villainous Baron Scarpia. But Rowley sees Tosca differently. “Tosca is actually supposed to be young, in her early 20s, and she’s experiencing love for the first time,” she tells the Scene. “Her youth and passion informs my portrayal in Act 1.”

But what about Act 2, when Tosca carves up Scarpia like a Thanksgiving turkey?

“In Act 2, things get a little crazy,” Rowley concedes. “Also, the music gets real heavy. At that point, it’s all about vocal technique.”

What’s Up, Docs?

The Belcourt’s annual Doctober series is one of its strongest ever

by D. patrick roDgers

E

very fall, Nashville’s favorite independent arthouse hosts Doctober, a monthlong celebration of documentary films. This year’s installment, which runs Oct. 6-30 at the Belcourt, will feature documentaries on everything from Qatari millionaires and musical pioneers to tensions in the Oakland Police Department, the autumn years of a film icon and much more. While exact screening

dates aren’t locked down as of press time, you can check belcourt.org for updates and ticketing information.

Below is a rundown of all the films heading to Doctober.

Theo Anthony’s debut documentary Rat Film, which has earned early comparisons to the work of Werner Herzog, is what it sounds like and so much more. The unrated, 82-minute doc explores the rat population of Bronx Gothic Baltimore, how it intersects with its man-made environment, and what our interactions with the rodents say about figures profiled in Doctober films include: us. Filmed a couple hundred miles north by South African singer Miriam Makeba (Mama a significantly more experienced director, Africa); Mexican singer Chavela Vargas (Chavela); and record producer/A&R guy Ex Libris: The New York Public Library — the 42nd documentary by Frederick Wiseman — capextraordinaire Clive Davis (Clive Davis: The tures the “vast programmatic scope of New Soundtrack of Our Lives).

T

he always excellent International Lens program promises a plethora of far-flung film viewing at Vanderbilt University’s Sarratt Cinema this fall. Curator Jonathan Waters has brought his keen eye to bear on a selection of flicks and events that include poetic responses to violence in Honduras, imaginative explorations of the Russian Revolution and don’t-miss conversations with visiting filmmakers.

International Lens screenings take place mostly on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Here are just a few highlights:

Thursday, sepT. 28: aN eveNiNg WiTh sasha WaTers Freyer

Maverick Russian filmmaker Aleksey Fedorchenko’s Angels of Revolution is based on actual events — the Kazym Rebellion of the 1930s, in which indigenous Siberian tribes stood up to the red wave of Soviet cultural collectivization. But Angels is one part fact-based filmmaking and one part fantastical fabricated folk story.

Thursday, OcT. 26: vOiCES BEYOND THE WALL: TWELvE LOvE POEMS FROM THE MuRDER CAPiTAL OF THE WORLD In Voices Beyond the Wall, director Brad Coley introduces a group of teenage orphans living in a girls’ home in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, one of the most dangerous cities on the planet. Coley’s film is about an oasis in the midst of chaos, and poetry’s power to bring healing and forgiveness.

Paradise Now on Sept. 21, inxeba on Nov. 9 and Memories of Murder on Nov. 30. Visit vanderbilt.edu/internationallens for more details and a full schedule.

OcT. 6: LuCkY aT The BelcOurT; advaNce screeNiNg sepT. 24 as parT OF arT hOuse TheaTer day Longtime character actor John Carroll Lynch makes his directorial debut with this drama featuring the legendary — and very recently deceased, RIP — Harry Dean Stanton as a 90-year-old curmudgeon seeking enlightenment.

OcT. 6: BLADE RuNNER 2049 iN TheaTers everyWhere Denis Villeneuve’s long-anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott’s genre-redefining 1982 sci-fi epic, featuring Ryan Gosling and Jared Leto, with Harrison Ford reprising his role as Rick Deckard.

Italian artist Yuri Ancarani’s The Challenge follows some obscenely rich Qatari sheikhs who happen to be obsessed with amateur falconry, not to mention very expensive sports cars and pet cheetahs. Though early reviews don’t report much in the way of in-depth anthropological analysis, they largely agree on a couple of things: It is beautifully shot. On the opposite end of the spectrum is The Force, Peter Nicks’ vérité documentary about the Oakland Police Department — a police force that in recent years has dealt with charges of misconduct and civil rights abuses. According to Village Voice critic (and former Scene contributor) Bilge Ebiri, The Force has “the texture of a Michael Mann film combined with the clarity of a Frederick Wiseman documentary.” Another extremely promising offering is Human Flow, renowned artist and activist Ai Weiwei’s documentary on the global migration crisis.

Rounding out Doctober are docs on legendary surfing pioneer Laird Hamilton (Take Every Wave), a slice-of-life portrait of Indian textile workers (Machines) and French octogenarian filmmaker Agnès Varda’s collaboration with street artist JR (Faces Places).

OcT. 20: THE FLORiDA PROjECT aT The BelcOurT Another indie feature from Sean Baker, director of 2015’s genius Tangerine, this one features working-class strife and a performance from Willem Dafoe that early reviews have called exceptional.

NOv. 10: WONDERSTRuCk aT The BelcOurT The latest from arthouse mainstay Todd Haynes, featuring performances by Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore.

NOv. 17: juSTiCE LEAGuE iN TheaTers everyWhere The strength of this year’s Wonder Woman revitalized the DC Extended Universe, but will that carry into this ensemble blockbuster, with Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill back as the caped crusader and Kal-El, respectively? Can’t be worse than Batman v Superman!

NOv. 22: MOLLY’S GAME iN TheaTers everyWhere Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut, based on the true story of underground-poker magnate Molly Bloom.

Other interesting films coming this fall — without firm release dates and/or locations — include Carpinteros, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Stay tuned for more details on those.

by martin brady

sept. 28-Oct. 1: Still life With iriS at the theater Bug

Oct. 20-22: haunteD at actOrs Bridge eNsemBle at track ONe

Cori Laemmel’s East Nashville conservatory for young performers presents Steven Dietz’s fantasy centering on a little girl’s search for home. Encountered on her journey are newfound friends Annabel Lee (a young woman from the sea) and Mozart (the composer, age 11).

The nation’s deadliest passenger-train crash was in 1918 at Dutchman’s Curve near present-day Belle Meade, and it’s also the inspiration for this world premiere project featuring original music, dance and immersive art installations. Contributions from experimental performance leaders propel ABE’s Southern Gothic “site-responsive” collaboration, which resurrects voices buried in Nashville’s nearly forgotten history.

Oct. 26-dec. 3: mr. PoPPer’S PenguinS at Nashville childreN’s theatre Artistic director Ernie Nolan’s first musical at Nashville Children’s Theatre finds him overseeing this adaptation of the 1938 novel

by Richard and Florence Atwater, featuring a book by Robert Kauzlaric and music and lyrics by George Howe. The promising cast includes veteran performers Geoff Davin, Erin Parker, Rona Carter and Corinne Bupp.

The puppet designs are by Brian Hull, with musical direction by David Weinstein.

Oct. 6-22: lineS in the DuSt at teNNessee WOmeN’s theater prOject When an African-American woman’s daughter loses out in a lottery for a shot at a preferred educational opportunity, mom determines to find a different way to help her escape her underperforming neighborhood school. Sixty-plus years after Brown v. Board of Education, Nikkole Salter’s 2014 play asks just how far American society has come. This regional premiere stars Colette Divine, Tamiko Robinson Steele and Alan Lee, and is directed by Maryanna Clarke.

Oct. 6-21: love, loSS, anD What i Wore at act 1 Nora and Delia Ephron’s play is based on Ilene Beckerman’s 1995 book of the same name. A series of monologues describes various women’s relationships, their wardrobes from the past and the interaction between the two. The local lineup features Jennifer Bennett, Caitlin Brockell, Holly Butler, Andrea Crowe and Wesley Paine.

Oct. 10-15: fun home at tpac’s jacksON hall This winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best Musical is based on cartoonist Alison Bechdel’s bestselling graphic novel, a memoir in which the author discovers her sexuality, but also probes her relationship with her gay father and strives to uncover the mysteries surrounding his life. The first Broadway musical with an explicitly lesbian protagonist features book, music and lyrics

Before he earned more serious attention with plays like Good Monsters and The Ice Treatment, Nashville-based playwright Nate Eppler crafted this strictly commercial comedy with co-author Dietz Osborne that successfully exploits Southern family stereotypes. It has gained its fair share of regional popularity and returns to home base for this revival.

Oct. 27-NOv. 12: the hunchback of notre Dame at circle players Nashville’s oldest community theater goes a little rogue in presenting this musical based on Victor Hugo’s novel. The play includes songs from the 1996 Disney film version by Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken. The show’s curious production history includes a conspicuous absence from Broadway, but a significant number of international mountings have dared to engage with the work’s themes of physical deformity, sexual repression and genocide. Expect an epic effort from director Tim Larson.

Neil Simon’s 1993 comedy draws on his reallife experiences as a TV sketch writer in the early 1950s — in particular his relationships with colleagues including Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and Larry Gelbart. Lane Wright directs.

NOv. 14-19: leS miSérableS at tpac’s jacksON hall

This Tony-winning musical was inspired by the 1951 Oscar-winning film of the same name. With songs by George and Ira Gershwin and a book by Craig Lucas, the show ran for 18 months on Broadway in 2015 and 2016. Music City gets its first look via the national touring company.

The globally revered musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel is the gift that keeps on giving, especially to the legion of actors who have gratefully added the show to their résumés. But for those Middle Tennessee theatergoers who have not yet seen it live onstage, here’s a chance to join committed fans.

Nashville Rep presents the newly topical satire Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson

etween local theater companies and the always-active Tennessee Performing Arts Center, there is varied and decidedly thought-provoking stage fare coming our way this fall — but none should gain wider attention than Nashville Repertory Theatre’s production of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, presented Oct. 14-Nov. 4 at TPAC’s Johnson Theater. The 11-yearold musical features a score by Michael Nashville RepeRtoRy Friedman — who died just a few weeks ago theatRe pReseNts Bloody Bloody due to complications from HIV/AIDS — and Andrew JAckson a book by Alex Timbers. It centers on the oct. 14-Nov. 4 at tpac’s JohNsoN theateR founding of the Democratic Party and the ascendance of America’s seventh president, Andrew Jackson — who is depicted as an emo rock star.

Director Jason Tucker is no stranger to the Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson script, having directed the show in 2014 for Street Theatre Company, where he is artistic director. In 2011, the play was presented locally in an ambitious project directed by Catherine Coke at University School of Nashville. But Jackson’s legacy means something different in 2017.

“When I last directed the show, we did not live in a Trump world,” Tucker tells the Scene, “and it is undeniable the impact that Trump has had on our nation. He also apparently sees something in Jackson that he respects and admires, since he had a portrait of Jackson placed in the Oval Office. So he at least recognizes a fellow populist.

“Populism is a terrifying streak in human nature, I think,” he continues. “It scares me. So there’s an opportunity here not just to lambaste Trumpian populism, but also to ask what is it in our nature, as people or Americans, that makes us willfully ignore some obvious realities in order to feel like we have power.”

Tucker observes that the show looks like a Saturday Night Live sketch, but only on the surface. “Underneath, it is genuine satire,” he says, “pointing a finger not just at Jackson, but also judging those who put him into power. I marvel at how apropos

this show is: There is dialogue in the script I could just put out on a Facebook feed and everyone would assume I was talking about Trump.”

Tucker’s cast of 14 features both familiar and fresh faces.

“It’s exciting when you do a show at the Rep,” he says. “You get to work with the finest actors we have in the city.”

The show’s offbeat nature almost demands a creative use of its players. Those include the versatile Megan Murphy Chambers portraying Kentucky statesman Henry Clay. “Megan constantly landed stuff in auditions,” says Tucker, “and I decided we could not not have her in the cast. The show can bear genderneutral casting, so why not?”

Then there’s African-American performer Bakari King as South Carolina’s John C. Calhoun, Jackson’s vice president, who was a defender of slavery.

“Bakari brings his acerbic wit to the role,” says Tucker. “It’s a chance to introduce yet another element into the staging. In the end, all this show cares about is that there is the smallest number of actors possible, so they can do many things, like SCTV or Monty Python. That’s the joy of it.”

Tucker serves as musical director as well, but Luke Easterling is the onstage leader of a small punk band, with actress Kelly Hoppenjans making additional contributions as instrumentalist. Jackson’s wife Rachel is portrayed by Laura Holloway, an L.A. transplant with film and TV credits but no previous exposure on a major stage in Music City. Andrew Jackson will be played by Everett Tarlton, who has performed with local companies and worked as a choreographer.

“I am excited for Nashville audiences to see what this guy is capable of,” says Tucker. “He is not manufacturing anything.

This role is in him.”

According to Tucker, all credit for programming the show goes to Rep artistic director René Copeland. “She apparently has wanted to put it on her schedule for years,“ he says. “She was just waiting for the right time.”

“The nation’s very divided on Trump,” Copeland tells the Scene. “We’ll just have to see how our audience reacts.”

“I think the Rep audience is smart,” adds Tucker, “and the local productions that are gaining the most interest nowadays are those that are most immediately relevant. I think we’re ready to be jolted.”

rist Center patrons will remember Nick Cave’s “Soundsuit” sculptures from 2013’s 30 Americans — the otherworldly wearable fabric sculptures were a highlight of the show.

This fall, the Frist Nick cave: Feat. will host Nick Cave: Opens nOv. 10 at Feat., a solo exhibithe Frist tion presenting a selection of the Soundsuits along with a video projection, a number of wall sculptures, and a large multimedia installation. One of the most compelling qualities of Cave’s work is the way the colorful, outrageous pieces engage audiences of all ages while simultaneously offering complex, sophisticated statements that speak to issues of race and social justice.

The show’s 10 Soundsuits were made between 2011 and 2017, and will be dramatically deployed across a runway-style platform installation. The suits are Cave’s signature works, so look for this display to be highlighted at the exhibition. Cave’s original Soundsuit was created in the 1990s as a response to the infamous footage of Rodney King being beaten by Los Angeles Police Department officers — the wearable sculptures are metaphorical suits of armor, protecting black men from racial profiling and police brutality.

Cave’s original suit was a modest affair — a rustling sheath of twigs that covered the wearer. The artist has gone on to create approximately 500 suits over the past twoand-a-half decades, in the process evolving them into the decorous, decadent duds viewers will see at the Frist this fall.

In addition to a gallery wrapped in twinkling fabric and an installation of thousands of suspended strands of colorfully patterned bamboo titled “The Architectural Forest,” Feat. will also include an immersive life-size video that will dominate one of the exhibition spaces. “Blot” is one of those time-based works that acts as

both a work of art and a documentation of a performance. “Blot” features a whirling dancer decked out in one of Cave’s wild, wooly works. The costume and the performance combine to create abstract inky shapes moving through otherwise empty space for a little more than 40 minutes.

The effect is immersive and hypnotic — and also points to the real-life performances that will be featured throughout the Frist’s Nick Cave program.

One of the most eagerly awaited elements of the exhibition’s time in Nashville will be Cave himself. In conjunction with Feat., Cave will direct a months-long community-engagement project that will culminate in free public performances featuring live dance, music, Soundsuits, spoken-word events and more. The artist’s original compositions will showcase performing arts organizations and university students from all over Middle Tennessee, while specifically engaging our city’s increasingly diverse population. One performance will include community beada-thon events where Nashvillians will create 30 decorative blankets, which will eventually be used to cover Cave’s body in a kind of scapegoat performance that will find the artist symbolically taking on the burdens and responsibilities we’re all weighed down by in our individual lives.

THE LigHT and Sound MacHinE: Wavelength

There is no hyperbole in proclaiming Michael Snow’s 1967 spatial freak-in Wavelength one of the most important experimental films ever made. But it isn’t just cinephiles and enthusiasts of the unconventional who have something to gain from the experience of this journey — and journey is the right word. Traversing the distance of a room over the course of a week, moving incrementally closer, through the visible and the invisible, Wavelength is somehow both a visual representation of a graph with its axes of distance and time and a trippy dive into space, and “space.” It’s both the diving board in and the ladder out, and it’s been assisting human consciousness for 50 years now. Every ostentatious tracking shot or CG-assisted long take that has proliferated in the past decade of commercial cinema humbles itself before the grandaddy of spacetime cinema, and now is the time to experience this. The 45-minute film screens Thursday night at Third Man Records as part of the monthly Light and Sound Machine series, co-presented by the Belcourt and Third Man. 8 p.m. at Third Man Records JASON SHAWHAN

Jerry Reed’s biggest hits — among them “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot,” “The Bird” and “She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)” — could be classified as novelty songs, but they’re also exceptionally catchy radio-ready concoctions featuring Reed’s excellent six-string work. (And he was equally adept at both finger-style and flatpicking.) Any guitarist who could hold his own in duets with the likes of Glen Campbell and Chet Atkins, which Reed managed to do, is a formidable musical force. Reed, who died in 2008 at age 71, had an undeniable good-ol’-boy Southern charm, which he parlayed into an acting career highlighted by his turn as Cledus in the Smokey and

the Bandit films. (He also wrote the Bandit theme song, “East Bound and Down.”) Some equally legendary country stars — Brenda Lee, Bobby Bare and Suzy Bogguss — are among the artists who will help celebrate Reed’s music. 7:30 p.m. at 3rd & Lindsley JACK SILVERMAN

Fronted by Nashville songwriters, singers and guitarists Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack, DADDY plays rock ’n’ roll tunes in a fast-and-loose style that puts me in mind of English rockers the Faces. You’ll hear examples of their allusive approach on their 2005 debut Daddy at the Women’s Club and its follow-up, 2009’s For a Second Time, and the group’s songwriting is equally impressive. I love the Women’s Club track “Vicky Smith Blues,” SUZY BOGGUSS in which Womack sings about a fast, loose and elusive 16-yearold love object who wears hot pants and lounges in the basement rec room her daddy built himself. Womack says DADDY cut a new record earlier this year at Nashville’s Blackbird Studio with drummer Paul Griffith, bassist Dave Jacques and keyboardist John Deaderick. Womack and Kimbrough appear Thursday night as a duo, and they’ll play tunes from

In need of a CliffsNotes guide to contemporary country? Look no further than Sam Hunt’s 15 in a 30 Tour, which comes to Ascend Amphitheater. Featuring a deep and diverse pool of talent, it’s led by Hunt — arguably the tip of the genre’s crossover spear. He’s fluent in Southern pop and slowburning hip-hop, and his “Body Like a Back Road” is Billboard’s longest-serving Hot Country Songs No. 1 in history, while also scoring high on the Hot 100 chart. Joining Hunt is the dark country soul of Maren Morris, a bold and gritty outlier whose excellent debut, Hero, is filled with edgy, vocally

Not everyone was mad, though — and not everyone butchered the English language so thoroughly. “I don’t know what I love more,” said another commenter. “The song or the guy on the right having so much fun.” But you try to look cool when songs like “Radio” are slithering through your head, packing together the sleek production of American electropop and the playful experimentation of European club music. It’s just not possible! This year’s What Now features understated beats weaving a tapestry that perfectly complements singer Amelia Meath’s vocals, which sound like Cat Power crossed with CocoRosie.

Every month, Wilburn Street Tavern opens its doors and its turntables to the public for a freewheeling analog dance party where you — yes, you — are the DJ, and it’s been doing it for 44 months in a row.

Vinyl Club, launched by WXNA DJ Nekos Barnes (aka DJ Blackcircle) back in 2014, is effectively an open-mic night for the wheels of steel. DJs sign up for 15-minute slots starting at 8 p.m. and rock the party until 3 a.m. This month is extra special, as it’s the last one at Wilburn for a minute — owner Miss Paulette is shutting her doors temporarily to make some much-needed repairs on the beloved Cleveland Park dive bar. 8 p.m. at Wilburn Street Tavern LANCE CONZETT

THE MIRACLE WORKER

When Jake Clemons took the seemingly impossible gig of replacing the mythic Clarence Clemons as saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, he did more than fill the shoes his late uncle left to him — he saved the band. Not just because he could nail The Big Man’s iconic solos in concert staples like “Thunder Road” and “Badlands” (and even on the occasional performance of “Jungleland”), and not just because he resembled his larger-than-life uncle in stature, but because he quickly established his own identity and his own spiritual presence in a band revered for making deep connections. Playing foil to Springsteen’s onstage shenanigans with natural charisma and a commanding musicality to match his imposing frame, the younger Clemons gave the band a youthful shot of life that — embraced by the loyal tramps of the E Street Nation — helped fuel some of the most legendary performances of an almost ageless Springsteen’s career. A hired gun or simple sideman never would have made it work. An apprentice of Springsteen’s in the showmanship department and a singer-songwriter in his own right, Clemons leads his own outfit — The Jake Clemons Band, a modern funk, R&B ensemble that blazes through pop-tinged originals and rocked-out rave-ups off Clemons’ 2017 full-length solo debut Fear & Love.

William Gibson’s classic dramatization of the relationship between the blind and deaf Helen Keller and her teacher Annie Sullivan is the Lipscomb University Department of Theatre’s 2017-18 season opener. Professor Kari Smith directs the all-student cast.

As part of the consideration of Deaf Awareness Month, the Saturday night performance of the play will be “shadow interpreted” — a rare departure from typical signing in that interpreters are onstage with the actors, following them through their blocking, achieving more dynamic results in communicating the characters’ action and emotion. A panel discussion will follow. Sept. 22-Oct. 1 in Lipscomb’s Shamblin Theatre MARTIN BRADY

SON LITTLE w/DOE PAORO

Philadelphia’s Son Little makes a kind of music that interfaces seamlessly with both the legacy of soul music and the sound of the future. His voice, his writing and his production all have a smooth, gentle, rich sensibility, as well as a playful way of bending old-school electronic sounds to his will that’s likely to perk up the ears of any Dan Auerbach fans in the audience. It also won Little a Grammy for his production work on Mavis Staples’ “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean.” But while it always feels familiar, there’s no mistaking Little’s work for anyone else’s. He comes to Music City hot on the heels of the Sept. 15 release of his album New Magic, and he’s bringing as opener a kindred spirit in Doe Paoro, who’s also his labelmate on Anti-.

InsIght serIes Q&A Forum: LAuren hAynes

One of the unexpected benefits of the deal Fisk University made with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art — the one that divided exhibition times of the storied Alfred Stieglitz Collection between the two institutions — is the relationship that grew between the university and the museum.

It was serendipitous, then, that Crystal Bridges announced Lauren Haynes as its

next head curator around the same time Fisk’s gallery handed directorial duties to curator, artist and Nashville native Jamaal Sheats. Clearly, they’ll have a lot to talk about at this latest Q&A forum organized by Seed Space. Come for the local history — the Stieglitz Collection really is the under-seen gem in Nashville’s crown — but stay for the contemporary-art talk. Haynes spent nearly a decade at The Studio Museum in Harlem, where she was most recently the associate curator for the permanent collection, and curated exhibits like last year’s Alma Thomas retrospective, as well as the endlessly fascinating Speaking of People: Ebony, Jet and Contemporary Art. 2 p.m. at Fisk University’s Cravath Hall LAURA HUTSON

the DeAD Boys FeAt. CheetAh Chrome

Writing in 2000, rock critic Richard Meltzer attempted a taxonomy of punk rock that classified the Cleveland, Ohio, band The Dead Boys as “loud and snotty rock ’n’ roll.” Meltzer drew a hard line between rock ’n’ roll and punk, and I think he’s right about The Dead Boys, who were a good rock band whose work has affinities to punk. The 1990 death of Dead Boys singer Stiv Bators put the band on a long hiatus, but guitarist and former Nashvillian Cheetah Chrome has assembled a new version of the group that’s hitting the road to mark the 40th anniversary of their 1977 debut Young Loud and Snotty. The reconstituted band’s new Nashville-recorded version of the album, Still Snotty: Young Loud and Snotty at 40, makes a case for their 1977 track “Sonic Reducer” as, well, a punk anthem. Chrome joins original member Johnny Blitz and a band that includes singer Jake Hout, bassist Ricky Rat and guitarist Jason Kottwitz. As the great punk rocker Billy Joel once sang, it’s all rock ’n’ roll to me. 7 p.m. at Little Harpeth Brewing EDD HURT

Mary Chapin Carpenter rose to prominence as a mainstream country artist in the early ’90s, and has since established herself as a critical darling and essential voice in both the folk and left-of-center country worlds. She’s currently touring in support of her most recent album, 2016’s The Things That We Are Made Of, and Saturday’s performance will mark Carpenter’s return to the Ryman after a mere three months — she performed there in June as part of the Four Voices Tour alongside Joan Baez and Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. Opening the show will be John Paul White, best known as half of the now-defunct duo The Civil Wars. White is now a busy solo artist — his most recent release is last year’s excellent Beulah — and the co-owner of Florence, Ala., record label Single Lock Records, responsible for releases from the likes of St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Steelism and more.

These two have both the chops and the experience to tell a story with their songs. This should be a good one. 8 p.m. at the Ryman BRiTTNEy McKENNA

[UNIVERSAL RHYTHM]

the sKatalites

Influenced by the work of such American R&B artists as Memphis pianist and singer Roscoe Gordon and Florida-born jazz saxophonist Willis Jackson, Jamaican ska constitutes part of what you might call the Universal Rhythm-Section Mind of the 1960s. One of the greatest ska ensembles, The Skatalites hit with their 1965 cover of film composer Dimitri Tiomkin’s theme for the 1961 movie The Guns of Navarone. Just as Bluff City group Booker T. and the MGs abstracted basic blues and R&B patterns (and covered Dominic Frontiere’s theme for the 1968 Clint Eastwood Western Hang ’Em High) and James Brown’s bands turned shuffle rhythms into funk, The Skatalites added their own rhythmic innovations. Guitarist Jerome Haynes played hard on the offbeats, just as Gordon had done on his ’50s Memphis recordings, while drummer Lloyd Knibb and bassist Lloyd Brevett described elliptic circles behind a horn section that provided various drolleries. With nearly all the original Skatalites now dead — Knibb died in 2011, while Brevett passed away in 2012 — the current incarnation of the band carries on its legacy. Universal rhythm — you gotta believe in it. 7:30 p.m. at Mercy Lounge EDD HURT

Earlier this year, in an interview with Complex, André 3000 made one thing clear: He’s not all that interested in the hustle of putting out rap records anymore. But if one-half of OutKast is stepping back, the other half is stepping up. On Boomiverse, Big Boi’s third solo record following the breakup of the most relevant duo in hip-hop since Eric B. & Rakim, the ATLien returns to Earth with his best record since The Return of Chico Dusty. Unlike 2012’s Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors (and the follow-up collaboration with indietronic duo Phantogram, Big Grams), Big Boi dispenses with the indie-pop dalliances and goes hard with production by Dungeon Family’s Organized Noize. Three Stacks may not be keeping the OutKast torch burning, but Big Boi’s putting in work. 7 p.m. at Marathon Music Works LANCE CONZETT [OUT OF THE DARK]

Former Carolina Chocolate Drops leader Rhiannon Giddens’ solo LP Freedom Highway is a joy to listen to, full of ingenious takes on blues, jazz and other music from African-American traditions. But the record also does some of the most important work that art can do: It amplifies voices and stories that are crucial for us to remember.

The songs are informed by narratives of slaves in the 19th century, as well as people fighting for civil rights in the 20th century and against institutional racism and police brutality today. They cover a vast range of experiences, including blatant, horrific cruelty — like the sexual abuse of slaves in

Ant has been able to maintain a good following over the years by leaning into his New Wave catalog of hits (both solo and with the Ants) and playing some epic shows, sometimes 25 songs deep.

But be warned: It won’t be a young crowd.

[STRANGEST THINGS]

PERTURBATOR w/OUBLIETTE & MAKEUP AND VANITY SET

Following a stint in France’s black metal scene, Parisian musician James Kent turned his attention to a style of dystopian electronic music that would make John Carpenter shudder. As Perturbator, Kent mashes ’80s synths with modern EDM for retrofuturistic creepshow dance music that’ll appeal to fans of Carpenter Brut and Bauhaus alike. On New Model, Kent’s follow-up to last year’s breakout The Uncanny Valley, Perturbator takes an industrial turn, laying into an aggressive sound that starts atmospheric before pummeling the listener with heavy synth stabs. Joining Perturbator for his first Nashville appearance are two local acts representing both sides of his musical past: Murfreesboro black metal acolytes Oubliette and masked synthwave artist Makeup and Vanity Set. 8 p.m. at Exit/In LANCE CONZETT MUSIC

“At the Purchaser’s Option” or the church bombing in “Birmingham Sunday” — as well as more subtle and insidious indignities, like in “The Love We Almost Had,” which looks wistfully at an interracial relationship that’s forbidden from blossoming.

PET OF THE WEEK!

[THE OTHER LIzARD KING]

KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD

Sure, yes, freewheeling Aussie psych ensemble King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s most distinctive feature is its name, and that could of course be a good or a bad thing. But if you’re the sort of person who is irreversibly turned off by a goofball band name, well, your loss. These guys are really good. Since the band’s formation in 2010, frontman (and flutist/guitarist) Stu Mackenzie & Co. have made 11 studio albums, the latest of which, Sketches of Brunswick East — a collaboration with L.A.’s Mild High Club — features more mellow jazz influence than any of KGATLW’s past material, with each track flowing hazily into the next like smoke wafting through the beaded curtain of a Moroccan hookah lounge. Listeners may detect similarities to fellow psych contemporaries like Unknown Mortal Orchestra, MGMT and locals Fly Golden Eagle, but jazz cats will likely recognize the album’s title as an homage to Miles Davis’ Sketches of Spain. King Gizz hits Nashville on Tuesday, and Mild High Club will appear in support. 8 p.m. at Cannery Ballroom D. PATRICK RODGERS

[LET HER OUT]

LIZZ WRIGHT

In 2015, singer Lizz Wright spoke to NPR about what audiences feel when artists focus too much on autobiography: “Can I just not be locked in your bedroom with you?” At the time, Wright had channeled her failed marriage into healing via the album Freedom and Surrender. But it was important, she stressed, to find universal undercurrents in that experience. No surprise that on her new covers album Grace, Wright broadens her scope even further in an attempt to seek reconciliation for the whole country after the 2016 election. She couldn’t have found a more fitting producer than Joe Henry for her unhurried blend of gospel, blues and jazz. Wright and Henry transformed other artists’ songs to suit her style, but they also approached them as doorways to the history of Wright’s native South, a region that continues to grip her attention, her love and her sorrow in equal measure. 8 p.m. at City Winery SABY REYES-KULKARNI

critics’ picks The Lone Bellow first came to prominence after the release of their selftitled debut album in 2013, a couple of years after acoustic compatriots Mumford and Sons’ star was fading and Americana music’s popularity was really beginning to pick up steam. While bands commonly mentioned in the same breath as The Lone Bellow — The Lumineers, for example — courted commercial success, the Brooklynbased trio opted to remain more firmly in the roots community and have since become one of the genre’s more beloved young acts.

On Tuesday, they’ll celebrate the release of their third album, Walk Into a Storm, with an in-store performance at Grimey’s. It’ll be a special chance to catch the trio in an intimate setting, which is just how their singular brand of thoughtful roots-rock is best enjoyed. 6 p.m. at Grimey’s BRITTNEY McKENNA

FATheR John MISTY

Former Fleet Foxes drummer Joshua Tillman earns my newly created Dory Previn Award for Prolix Songwriting for the three albums he’s released as dystopian popster Father John Misty, and I hope you appreciate just what an honor I’m bestowing.

Previn, who cut a series of solo records that satirized the excesses of the post-countercultural 1970s, penned songs about stardom, Hollywood and the allure of such manufactured entertainment products as film actress Ali MacGraw. Previn’s overwritten 1972 song “Mary C. Brown and the Hollywood Sign” bears comparison to Misty’s overwritten 2012 track “Funtimes in Babylon,” a tune from his debut full-length, Fear Fun. The musical approaches are different — Previn played ricky-tick folk-rock, while Misty references a range of post-Beatles art-song styles — but the spirit is the same.

I like his 2015 collection I Love You, Honeybear, and he concisely sums up our current cultural malaise in “Total Entertainment Forever,” a track from this year’s Pure Comedy: “Bedding Taylor Swift / Every night inside the Oculus Rift,” he sings. It’s nice to know some people still like pop music. 7:30 p.m. at the Ryman EDD HURT

Born in Los Angeles in 1935, trumpeter, vocalist, record executive and philanthropist Herb Alpert helped shape the sound of the 1960s on such Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass albums as 1962’s The Lonely Bull and 1964’s Whipped Cream and Other Delights. I owned the Tijuana Brass albums as a child, and I began to develop my lifelong passion for Brazilian pop by listening to Alpert’s renditions of samba master Jorge Ben’s “Zazueira” and composer Chico Buarque’s “A Banda,” which led me to the work of Brazilian singer Elis Regina and Buarque himself. Along with fellow producer Jerry Moss, Alpert started A&M Records, which released such epochal albums as Herb Alpert Presents Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66 and The Flying Burrito Brothers’ The Gilded Palace of Sin. He appears tonight with his wife, vocalist Lani Hall, who is also the lead singer on the Brasil ’66 albums.

Their careers prove pop can be both fun and classy — don’t miss them. 8 p.m. at City Winery EDD HURT

unceremoniously announced the end of his music career. As his family grew and the music business shrank, Crow dipped out.

For a while. It wasn’t long before he was back at it again — this time with new project Rob Crow’s Gloomy Place — but Pinback has never been far out of reach. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Autumn of the Seraphs, the culmination of Crow and musical partner Armistead Burwell Smith IV’s meticulously built progressive pop sound. Inspired by science fiction and the darkness that lies underneath shiny surfaces, Pinback’s sound is as gorgeous as it is unsettling, layering angular guitars and edgy vocals for a sound that’s been approximated, but never duplicated. 8 p.m. at Exit/ In LANCE CONZETT

KESHA

If you read any entertainment news — like, any at all — then you’re almost certainly familiar with the ongoing trials and tribulations of Nashville’s home-grown pop star Kesha, who sued producer Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald 2014, alleging that he sexually assaulted her. The legal battle between Kesha and Gottwald is ongoing, but this summer the singer landed a massive spiritual victory with the long-awaited release of her third album, Rainbow. Featuring such powerfully cathartic songs as “Woman,” “Learn to Let Go,” “Hymn” (which she wrote with her mom, noted songwriter Pebe Sebert) and, most especially, “Praying,” Rainbow also marks a stylistic shift for the singer. While 2010’s Animal and 2012’s Warrior were pretty straight-up dance-pop offerings — not that there’s a damn thing wrong with that — Rainbow contains a nuanced sonic palette, with traces of gospel, soul, rock ’n’ roll and country influence. Kesha’s sold-out hometown gig at the Ryman oughta be a pretty emotional one — particularly when she fills the Mother Church of Country Music with the epic strains of “Praying.” Local funk-punks and Scene faves Savoy Motel will open Wednesday night’s show. 7:30 p.m. at the Ryman D.

TREY ANASTASIO WITH THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY

Throughout his career, Trey Anastasio has consistently conceived of music on a grand scale, whether it’s material he’s written for solo guitar, for the jam-friendly rock band Phish he’s fronted (except for a few hiatus years) since 1983, or for one of myriad other groups he’s worked with, which includes classical ensembles. The real treat at Wednesday’s show at the Schermerhorn will be hearing imaginative, wide-ranging Phishhead favorites like “You Enjoy Myself” or “The Divided Sky” with an orchestra. Influences run the gamut from jazz to bluegrass to a kind of Muppet-y prog rock, often within the same piece — while Anastasio and his bandmates have made a career out of pulling them off with only four players, having the resources of the world-class Nashville Symphony to work with will bring out all kinds of colors that even the most avid fans might not have heard. 7:30 p.m. at the Schermerhorn STEPHEN TRAGESER

Shake Believe

I promise not to make any Kelis references in this story about over-the-top milkshakes by megan seling

SUGAR SHOCK

A

s delightful as they are, milkshakes are among America’s more perplexing food inventions. They’re not a true beverage — if anything, they make you thirstier — nor are they a traditional dessert, as they’re The loving Pie often ordered to ComPany Pie Shake $6 be consumed with a meal, as opposed The grilled to after. And does CheeSerie anything come with Dutch aPPle Pie MilkShake $6 as much possibility for discomfort as a The moCkingBird milkshake? Nothtutti Frutti $10

ing makes you sicker quicker than sucking down a shake too fast, causing a slurry of liquified butterfat to churn in your stomach like a volatile tar pit threatening to boil over.

And that’s only if you managed to avoid brain freeze first.

But we still love them, as complicated as they are. And today’s milkshakes are more extravagant than ever. Just as bloody marys have started being garnished with an entire day’s worth of food — the traditional celery stalk is now paired with a stack of sliders, giant strips of bacon, a whole roasted chicken, lobster claws and even brownies (gross) — milkshakes have also gotten a monstrous makeover.

New York’s Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer is blamed for starting the trend — the restaurant introduced its Crazy Shakes in 2015 and became an instant Instagram hit by transforming an average-size milkshake with a mountain of sugary toppings, including kebabs of gummy candy, icecream-cookie sandwiches, fat slices of cake, oversized lollipops, chocolate-covered bananas and caramel apples.

Now diners across the world — from Delaware to Mumbai — have their own versions, each trying to outdo the last with candy-covered mugs, chocolate orbs you have to break with a wooden mallet and, like the bloody marys before them, sliders and bacon.

There’s nothing like that in Nashville (yet), but local eateries have begun to kick things up a notch, ditching the whipped cream and cherry for more adventurous ingredients.

The Grilled Cheeserie in Hillsboro Village may be known for their buttery grilledcheese sandwiches and fried-to-perfection tater tots, but their savory offerings have some real sweet competition in the everchanging Milkshake of the Moment menu.

In August they introduced the Corn in the U.S. Shake, which is made of corn custard blended into sweet cream ice cream and topped with Moosehead kettle corn and blackberries. July’s Bang Bang Berries and Cream was finished off with whipped cream and chunks of Bang Candy’s Sparkle Bark.

The Grilled Cheeserie’s current specialty shake is the Dutch Apple Pie, a perfect early-fall flavor that blends sweet-cream ice cream with baked local apple compote, house butterscotch and crumble topping.

My first sip of the Dutch Apple Pie fought its way up the straw, with the almost-toothick ice cream base slugging along as my cheeks distorted in an effort to get maximum suction. When the ice cream finally broke through, the shake burst with flavor — tiny apple bits scattered across my tongue, and hints of butterscotch and cinnamon danced about. It really did taste like I was taking a bite of Dutch apple pie à la mode, and on a drizzly September night, just one sip shot me straight into autumnal mode. I wanted to go apple picking and pumpkin hunting. I wanted to wear sweaters and boots and scarves.

But after a few more sips, things started to go awry. The Grilled Cheeserie’s standard straws are much too narrow to accommodate such a monster. At the halfway point, larger bits of the apple compote started to get stuck to the bottom of the straw, bringing each wonderful sip to a frustrating halt. I battled through — I used the straw to scoop out large chunks between sips, but the damage was done, the bubble was burst, and finishing it almost became a chore.

The Loving Pie Company did not have that problem. In fact, their Pie Shake! (exclamation point theirs) comes with an extra-wide bubble-tea straw so no chunk can escape.

And yes, there will be the occasional chunk, because these shakes really do have a whole slice of pie — crust and all — blended in. The Loving Pie Company’s flavor combinations are limitless. Your pie shake can be made with any pie slice from the day’s menu — pecan, coconut custard, apple, coffee chess, chocolate peanut butter — and whatever flavor of Pied Piper Creamery ice cream they have on hand (chocolate, vanilla and, when I visited, coffee Oreo).

For my first pie shake, I went all-in, choosing one of Loving Pie’s richest offerings — a slice of Cherry Trifecta pie — blended with vanilla ice cream. The Cherry Trifecta, which appears only occasionally as a daily special, has a dense, fudgy brownie base baked into a pie shell and topped with cherry pie filling. On its own, it’s an almost perfect slice of pie — the crust is flaky and neutral, the chocolate filling is deep and not too sweet, and the bright-red cherries ooze down the sides. When blended into a shake, all the layers of flavor hit your tastebuds in quick succession — the cool, creamy ice cream comes first, then the cherries come through, followed by an intense blast of chocolate by way of little chocolate crumbs that remind you that, yes, you are drinking a slice of pie.

The newest and most colorful addition to the milkshake scene is The Mockingbird’s Tutti Frutti, a Fruity Pebble ice cream shake topped with a mountain of whipped cream, two sticks of strawberry Pocky and a pretty wafer. The shake itself was, surprisingly, not too sweet despite the fact it was peppered with sugary breakfast cereal, and the glass it was served in — a classic tall fountain glass — was gorgeous, with the outer rim coated in a big stripe of Fruity Pebble cereal. But here’s a tip: Don’t eat that part.

It’s decoration, it turns out. When I licked it, it tasted like ice-cold, stale buttercream, and while OK, maybe I shouldn’t have licked the glass like a child, I’m also not ashamed to admit that if you put breakfast cereal in front of me, in any form, I will attempt to eat it.

If all this sounds like kid’s play, Mockingbird will booze up your Tutti Frutti with a shot of SomruS cardamom-pistachio-saffron liqueur for an extra $5, but I don’t drink alcohol nor do I have it in me to slap down $15 for a milkshake, unless the straw is a $5 bill — but you do you.

For now, Nashville’s milkshakes are just right — there are still plenty of traditional options for the unadventurous, and many of the more experimental efforts are thoughtful. While Crazy Shakes may indeed be on their way to Music City, right now I wouldn’t change a thing. Except maybe the straws. email arts@NashvillesceNe.com

WE’RE

Andrew M ar

I

was already grown and playing the autoharp when I first learned about The Carter Family. This was a surprisingly late development given that I have the same name as the family’s famous autoharpist, and that I too am a Virginian, but I finally learned their songs from a copy of Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music that I checked out of a Virginia public library. In old-time circles, it’s embarrassing to say you learned a tune from a recording rather than a person, but Woman Walk the Line: How the Women in Country Music Changed Our Lives, a new essay collection edited by Nashville writer Holly Gleason, has cured me of that embarrassment.

The musicians, music journalists and players whose essays make up this collection make no bones about the hours they have spent poring over the records of some of country’s most famous females — Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tanya Tucker and newer Woman Walk the line: stars like Taylor hoW the Women in Country musiC Swift and Kacey Changed our lives Musgraves. Many EditEd by Holly GlEason of the writers UnivErsity of tExas had life-changing PrEss, 236 PaGEs, $24.95 conversations backstage with an artist herself, while others cite the lyrics, licks and even political activism that made these first women of country music so unforgettable. The essay collection is unique in centering on American-roots heavy-hitters like Hazel Dickens, Lil Hardin and Maybelle Carter — people who typically get less page time in considerations of country music. Not only will readers find some of the finest music writing in the business here, but they’ll also learn how the musicians’ evolution influenced each essayist’s own creative process. The result? Incredibly empowering writing about what it means to be an artist and a human being.

The book’s opening essay, “The Root of It All” by Caryn Rose, begins, “I found American folk music through what seemed like an unlikely back door: discovering Woody Guthrie via Pete Seeger via Bob Dylan while I was at Girl Scout camp.” Rose goes on to detail her surprise at discovering that many 1960s folk songs had a much earlier life.

When she stumbled across a picture of Maybelle Carter in a music-history book, she was intrigued by Carter’s way of “holding a guitar with absolute comfort, looking impassive — this was not a big deal to her.”

Early in her career as a music writer, Rose faced inane comments like, “You sure know a lot about music, for a girl.” Carter’s persistence in a male-dominated industry was a source of inspiration: “Maybelle Carter wasn’t hesitant or asking permission to be there, she was there; she wasn’t backing up some dude,

she was the musician. She was a lead guitarist.

She wasn’t decorative. She wasn’t optional.

She was the main musician, and she acted like it.” At every stage of her memorable career, Mother Maybelle cut through the industry dross to play what she loved. Rose writes, “The phenomenal amount of just plain life she had to get through just to be able to do her job is more than most of us face in a lifetime.

It’s a good thing to remember when you think things are getting hard.”

In “That’s How I Got to Memphis,” Alice Randall — Nashville songwriter, novelist and food writer — considers Lil Hardin, a jazz artist known for playing piano and for her partnership with Louis Armstrong (personally and professionally). Hardin was the original pianist on the Jimmie Rodgers tune “Blue Yodel #9.” “What this means to me is that we, black women, have been present in country since almost the very beginning, at least since 1931,” Randall writes. “It’s a small circle.”

Hardin’s life in music wasn’t easy, but she unflaggingly found a way to continue playing: “Raised in Memphis by a grandmother who had been a slave in Mississippi, Lil Hardin effectively constructed a life of creative liberation, inspiring others to follow after her — not in her footsteps, but in her spirit.” This spirit prepared Randall for the uphill climb she faced in Nashville in the early 1980s.

Ronni Lundy’s “The Plangent Bone” explains the force that is Hazel Dickens: “It’s as if all us hillbilly children got an extra sinew, a plangent bone, a tuning fork to recognize the ancient tones.” Though many performers can make this bone resonate, writes Lundy, Hazel Dickens “shapes and sends those notes from that very spot in her chest straight to the one in yours, bone to bone, soul to soul.” Dickens was one of 10 siblings who “grew up poor, dependent on a fickle coal economy whose boom-andbust cycles had played havoc with the land and people for generations,” and she openly sang about the mistreatment and murder of miners at the hands of big coal companies.

Woman Walk the Line will touch readers to their cores — reminding them of their first musical loves and the difference between a musician and a star.

The STyleS CounCil

Harry Styles’ evolution proves there’s more than one direction for post-boy-banders

By ASHLey SPurgeOn

H

arry Styles is entering Act 2 of his professional and creative life, at the ripe old age of 23. All due respect to his One Direction bandmates, but it’s been clear for a while that Styles was a breakout star, and speculation regarding his inevitable solo career has been around since he was a teen. There’s a template for solo success post-boy-band — go a little more hip-hop, and keep being sexy — and his 1D cohorts, Zayn Malik in particular, are following it to a T. That plan also worked for Justin Timberlake, another boy-bander who made it out alive, relatively unscathed (and who’s also playing Pilgrimage Fest on Saturday — see story on p. 14). Styles is frequently compared to J.T., and not without reason: They both possess the gifts of good looks, good voices, engaging personalities and seemingly stable personal lives. Neither has appeared to seriously struggle with drugs or alcohol, and neither has ever engaged in popping-off-at-the-mouth buffoonery for the lampreys at TMZ. But the parallels between the two are either aesthetic or speculative. Timberlake’s immediate post-’N Sync career, like that of nearly every other former boy-bander, was all pop and R&B. Over the years, he’s worked with Timbaland, Jay-Z and Pharrell. And at this point, Timberlake is almost as famous for his work on SNL as for being the secondbest singer on “Tearin’ Up My Heart.” And at his core, he is one of the most American pop artists of the 21st century.

But like an overflowing cup of tea, everything about Styles positively drips with Englishness. His first solo single — “Sign of the Times” from Styles’ self-titled May debut — isn’t just a Prince reference and a five-and-a-half-minute ballad: It sounds like early-’70s Bowie filtered through late-’90s Britpop. It’s also got an arena-rock, lighters-out bombast that smudges up the fact that the lyrics are about a young mother dying in childbirth. Or are they about the contradictory emotions of releasing your first album out into the world?

Choosing the thoughtful-rocker route rather than alpha club-goer might be a reflection of Styles’ actual interests. Bowie, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Paul McCartney, heck, George Martin, Badfinger, Oasis, fucking Supergrass — those influences are all over this record.

Can someone tell me why all the other 1D solo stars are releasing dance tracks when this group never even danced?

Brooklyn, the vaguely defined “West Coast” and either North or South Carolina are all referenced on Harry Styles, because it’s always more glamorous to drop the names of places you’ve been than the names of the people you were there with.

Playing Monday, SePt. 25, at the RyMan

“Carolina,” “Woman” and “Two Ghosts” are the strongest tracks on the record, and they’re all on the “harder” side. This is where Styles’ inner arena rocker peeks out again, and it’s further proof that the Timberlake comparison could never really work. If Styles’ new career reminds me of anyone’s, it’s that of Robbie Williams, formerly of ’90s boy band Take That.

That doesn’t mean they’re exactly alike.

Where Styles appears to be without demons, Williams is full of them, exuding rakish, dirtbaggy charm that comes off far cuter than it should. That works well in the arenas and stadiums Williams fills worldwide, where folks sometimes just want to sing along with tens of thousands of others to his hit “Angels,” in which he looks at himself from the perspective of a kind and patient woman. This is the interesting place where Styles and Williams intersect: “Sign of the Times” feels like an attempt at “Angels 2.0.”

It’s hard not to keep coming back to “Sign.” The plausibility of Styles using a female character to examine his own emotions, as he does in this song, is one of the best and most fascinating things about him, as both an artist and pop-culture figure.

He’s spoken about One Direction fans with a consistent level of respect that’s jarring for bitchy old cynical music critics to hear.

How many 23-year-old men — especially those who have been screamed at and stalked and built into something unreal by young girls since they were teenagers themselves — publicly refer to preteen girls as “smart”?

Styles is one. At the very least, he is paying attention to the fact that teen girls made him famous, teen girls paid his bills.

Teen girls are the people who made The Beatles bigger than Jesus, and most importantly, teen girls love to see live music. The fact that Harry Styles does not appear to be

a total dickhead — even though as a young, handsome, white, wealthy, successful man, he could get away with it — is almost more impressive to me than the fact that his record doesn’t suck. To be frank, it’s not important if Styles’ “Sensitive 21st-Century Man” persona is “real” or the result of many boardroom meetings. It’s a good look.

Because once you hit a certain level of

Embracing thE StrangE Melvins keep evolving, just the way we like it

By P.J. Kinzer

“t

here’s certainly a lot of bands that are older and still going, that they still kind of rely on their back catalog,” says Melvins drummer Dale Crover. “They make new Playing FRiday, SePt. 22, records, but [those at 3Rd & lindSley records] probably don’t get the attention or just aren’t as good, for whatever reason, as their older stuff.”

Crover joined the Melvins in 1984, the year after singer-guitarist Buzz Osborne formed the band. Since then, Crover and Osborne have been the two constant members, making records and touring with a rotating cast of collaborators.

They’re part of a cadre of bands founded in the reagan era that built a following through college radio. Some groups of the era — r.e.M. and red Hot Chili Peppers, for instance — parlayed the more commercial elements of their sound into massive hits and decades of stadium tours,

fame, the style is the substance. Someone learning from Bowie and Prince should know this intuitively, and Styles appears to. He’s wearing nice suits and lots of pink, and giving long, thoughtful interviews to Cameron Crowe. Though Styles is not exactly breaking the mold with his solo career, he’s at least indicating there can be more than one path.

Email arts@nashvillEscEnE.com

while other peers like The Jesus Lizard and Fugazi continued making ferocious music on their own terms before splintering in the late ’90s or early Aughts.

Though Crover and Osborne — also known as King Buzzo — have reigned as kings among the underground weirdos and been name-checked as influences by outsiders-turned-platinum-sellers like Tool, nirvana and Soundgarden, they don’t fit into either of those categories. The Melvins have never displayed a desire to chase trends or compromise in the name of broader appeal, but the lack of tremendous commercial success hasn’t slowed them down. They remain prolific as ever, releasing three albums in the past two years that showcase an urge to reinvent themselves.

The band’s latest, a double LP called A Walk With Love and Death, is not what Melvins fans expect — and that’s exactly what you’d hope for.

The first section of the album, subtitled Death, is a set of nine tracks that do fall in line with the “classic Melvins sound,” broadly defined. it’s heavy and dark, trudging through primal beats, weighed down with Osborne’s gruff voice. What sets it apart from other Melvins albums is the addition of Steven McDonald — of trash-pop wizards redd Kross and hardcore punks OFF! — on bass, who brings much more melodic movement to the familiar Buzzo dirge. The twisted power-pop hooks and snarled harmonies on “What’s Wrong With you?” would seem right at home on any redd Kross record.

The Love portion, by contrast, is a brain-bending collage of noise and ambient sounds conceived as a soundtrack to an as-yet-unfinished short film by director Jesse nieminen. Sonics in the 14-track >> P. 52

set run the gamut from science-fiction sound effects made with modular synthesizers and a theremin to sampled voice-mail greetings and occasional scatting. that’s right, scatting.

Crover explains that despite the drastic differences between the album’s two parts, the goal was always for the record to exist as a single unit. “sometimes you listen to double records and think, ‘this would be a really good single record’,” he says. “We didn’t want to run into that.”

When they return to music City on Friday, the melvins will play a venue that seems a touch unusual, considering their sound. the venerable listening room 3rd & lindsley — with its room full of tables and chairs, and bookings that include music row songwriters and rootsy pop acts with a bit of buzz — certainly appeals to industry suits. the kind of clientele that could benefit from studying how the melvins exist alongside — but fully separate from — the corporate machine.

“We’ve managed to survive through not selling a shit-ton of records somehow,” Crover says. “our stuff is really more DIy than people probably realize. We’re very hands-on in everything we do.”

“For whatever reason, things still seem to keep getting better for us each time we tour,” Crover adds. “there’s always an audience. and it always seems to be growing. Good things seem to always happen. We just keep doing the hard work as we’ve always done, you know? as much work as we can.” there’s one more piece of inspiration, which Crover explains with a laugh. “rolling stones,” he says. “thank God for them, because if they keep doing it, that means that we can.” email music@NashvillesceNe.com

History repeats

How the members of *repeat repeat launched an East Nashville band wise beyond its years

by Jon GuGala

O

ne year ago, East Nashville’s *repeat repeat met with its then-new manager Maxx Cua and decided to spike all its plans. Less than a month before the release of Floral Canyon, a record financed with Playing Monday, SePt. $10,000 of the band’s 25, at griMey’S own money, Andy Herrin and Jared and Kristyn Corder pulled the plug, shelving it indefinitely to take a gamble on finding a label to buy the project and push it out to a nationwide audience.

“I felt more scared of the idea of it coming out,” says Herrin, the band’s drummer. “So many friends of mine released great records [independently], and then they just go away and never get the recognition they deserve.”

After 14 months, *repeat repeat’s patience is paying off. Floral Canyon, released Sept. 15, is backed by the muscle of Dangerbird Records, the same label that broke indie darlings Fitz and the Tantrums and Silversun Pickups. The album’s lead single, “Girlfriend,” has already been streamed on Spotify a quarter of a million times since its release in August, with nods

The BesT of The ResT of The fesT

Button copy:

hen the wide-ranging AmericanaFest comes to town every year, also come the conversations about what, exactly, Americana is — from its derivations to its attempts at diversity to its aesthetics. Wherever you land on the issues of what Americana is and what it means, the festival casts a pretty wide net as far as talent is concerned, and The Spin took in sets from singer-songwriters who drew on country, soul and folk, as well as pop bands, rock bands, psych bands and more. Is all of that truly Americana? Maybe. Did that philosophical question have any impact on how good the shows were? Not a bit. van Morrison accepted his lifetime achievement award for songwriting at the Americana Honors and Awards on Wednesday, Sept. 13, with just two words: “Thank you.”

So it was no surprise to us that he didn’t have much to say during his workmanlike performance on Thursday at ascend amphitheater.

Decked out in a pin-striped suit, fedora and sunglasses, Morrison strolled up from the back of the cavernous shed’s stage playing the saxophone as the band rolled into the classic “Moondance.” With that, they were off on a 23-song set of blues, rock and soul set that zig-zagged back and forth through Morrison’s enormous catalog. The highest among many high points came right before the end of the show, as he called out a direction to the band that also served as an acquiescence to a crowd that had been patiently waiting for That Song.

“OK, ‘Brown Eyed Girl.’ ” The Ascend staff, who had been dutifully shutting down amateur iPhone photographers all night, did their best, but for these few minutes, their efforts were largely futile.

A little while later, we entered Third Man Records’ Blue Room to the graceful strains of newly signed Third Man artist Joshua hedley’s “Let’s Take a Vacation.” With his rhinestone-encrusted suit, snare-tight eightpiece band and honeyed, Lower Broadtested croon, Hedley gave the Americana crowd a taste of classic honky-tonk in the vein of Buck, Marty and the Louvins. Amid a set full of steel- and fiddle-adorned songs like “Let Them Talk” from his forthcoming TMR debut, Hedley opined, “It’s the AmericanaFest, I’m not sure what I’m doing here — this is country music.” What’s more, his playful and sweet set-closing cover of “When You Wish Upon a Star” was a delight.

Meanwhile, over at The station inn, we discovered that skyway Man’s future-folk space gospel went over very well at one of the holy sites of bluegrass. The future explored in their songs is one that shares our past, and the ace band uses many familiar roots sounds.

Back at Third Man, Mc Taylor and his hiss Golden Messenger issued rock ’n’ roll that — if you have to categorize it as Americana — lands in the Wilco’s-Summerteeth territory on that map. Taylor noted that he and HGM’s keyboard/guitar player Phil cook did some recording with the Blind Boys of Alabama in town earlier that day, before

bringing out guitarist and Nashville’s native son William Tyler to guest on a set-closing rendition of “Brother, Do You Know the Road.”

“Brother” is a spiritual and stretched-out gospel-indebted ballad that benefited greatly from Tyler’s ragged and emotional soloing at song’s end. sam Beam, aka iron and Wine, was totally winging it at The Station Inn, but that only made his set more enjoyable. He slid in and out of his reverent, wistful characters as easily as we change sweaters. Even when he tripped himself up and forgot a line on a deep cut, it felt like it belonged in the song. And they were some mighty songs: Beam’s lyrical examinations of frailty achieved an enchanting balance of seeming transcendent while feeling natural and conversational.

Fiddler in the Gulch: Blank Range shut things down at Third AmAndA ShireS At Man shortly after midnight with a set that the StAtion inn featured, ironically enough, “Opening Band,” among other roots-imbued rock tunes from Alex the GreAt: this year’s excellent and brilliantly named little BAndit At the Marooned With the Treasure.

BASement eASt About 10 minutes later, Deer Tick took the stage at The Station Inn — just after the official midnight release of their first new albums in four years, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. The group known for putting on some of the most righteously raucous shows in modern rock music worked phenomenally as an acoustic band. The thoughtful songcraft of frontman and principal songwriter John McCauley and his bandmates shined brightly under the microscope of the intimate venue.

Back at The Station Inn on Friday, recently crowned Emerging Artist of the Year amanda shires took the stage. Backed by her band of local scene mainstays Jerry Pentecost, David Guy and Zach setchfield, Shires overcame some technical difficulties with charm — “this is the part where we find out if the fiddle works,” she said as she huddled with a tech to sort it out. The Texas native held back emotions as she introduced “Mineral Wells,” a song about her youth on the Brazos River, and encouraged the crowd not to forget the people of Houston still reeling from Hurricane Harvey. “It’s not over after two or three days,” she said. Among other highlights were her cover of Loudon Wainwright III’s “Daughter,” dedicated to Shires’ own little one, and Visit nashVillescene. the set-closing “Like a Bird” from com/music for 2013’s Down Fell the Doves. more coVerage of Meanwhile, over at The Basement americanafest 2017. east, outsider country band little the Year, is a force onstage, commanding the attention of even Bandit held an adoring crowd in the palms of their hands.

Presley lamented the lack of women getting airtime on country radio, saying, “If I can kick down the door to make that happen, that’s what I’m gonna do.”

Around rock o’clock, we headed up the Cannery Row staircase to Mercy lounge. J.P. harris led a superb band through choice honky-tonk tunes. One cut among several from an album that Harris had just finished recording was played with five gently picked guitars and featured a special guest appearance by The Watson Twins on harmony vocals.

It had an important message that dovetailed with Presley’s. “Women in the music business have the deck stacked against them in a lot of ways,” Harris explained as he introduced the song, “especially if they don’t conform to conventional beauty standards or conventional gender roles.”

Up the ramp at The high Watt, steelism wound their way through instrumental cuts from their new record ism. None of the guest vocalists who appear on ism performed that night, but touring and session MVP Robbie crowell sat in on keys, and we had a high time anyway, watching them rip through their ingenious compositions. liz cooper and the stampede, on the other hand, did have a parade of guest vocalists, because Cooper had lost her voice. They were all top-flight, but Becca Mancari came close to bringing down the house — she very much owned “The Night.” Not having to sing freed up Cooper to shred without compromise, and she beamed her infectious grin as she raced up and down the fretboard. If there’s any better way to end a festival, we couldn’t think of it, so we called it night.

Noir oN the Nile

Set amid the Arab Spring, The Nile Hilton Incident is a crime thriller full of high stakes and paranoia

By Steve erickSon

W

hile watching The Nile Hilton Incident, I was totally convinced I was watching an Egyptian film. I later learned that it’s actually a product of the Arab diaspora in Europe: Director Tarik Saleh was born in Sweden to Egyptian parents, star Fares Fares emigrated The Nile hilToN iNcideNT from Lebanon NR, 107 miNutes to Sweden as a OpeNs FRiday, sept. 22, at the BelcOuRt teenager, and the film was shot in Germany and Casablanca, Morocco.

Upon realizing how unflattering the script’s portrayal of corruption among Egyptian cops and politicians was, the Egyptian government withdrew permission for Saleh to shoot in Cairo — three days before shooting began. All the production money came from Europe, and it’s essentially a Swedish Arab’s fantasy of a North African film. This is something quite new in world cinema.

It’s January 2011, and police detective Noredin (Fares) is called to the Nile Hilton Hotel, where pop star Lalena has been killed. He discovers the existence of compromising photos that might offer a clue to her murder, but powerful men try to keep

does he seem so emotionally repressed? Well, he says his wife died in a car accident.

As a narrative, The Nile Hilton Incident evokes 1970s American depictions of corruption, like Sidney Lumet’s Serpico and Roman Polanski’s Chinatown. The mystery Noredin pursues puts him in more and more danger, but unlike Serpico, there’s no interest here in setting him up as an iconic hero. Director Saleh emphasizes the political context at every possible turn, and he did a terrific job of restaging the Arab Spring demonstrations in Morocco. He also shows the police preparing to use electric shock to torture suspects, though it isn’t explicitly depicted. If one were ignorant of what actually happened to Egypt after the Arab Spring, the ending might offer an optimistic celebration of revolt — but given the current dictatorial regime, it’s bitterly ironic and cynical.

The Nile Hilton Incident began its theatrical run in the U.S. at the same time neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Va., were chanting, “Jews will not replace us.” The concept of “replacement” — also used by European racists in regard to Muslims “invading” their countries — is largely attributed to far-right French author Renaud Camus, who has railed against Sweden’s policy of welcoming Muslim immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa.

them secret. Tycoon and politician Hatem Shafiq (Ahmed Seleem) may be connected to the crime, and meanwhile, protests are breaking out in Tahrir Square. Hotel maid Salwa (Mari Malek) endangers herself by trying to blackmail Shafiq. As Noredin investigates the case, TV news offers a steady hum of reports about the demonstrations of the Arab Spring.

The Nile Hilton Incident is full of familiar elements. Noredin is a world-weary, chain-smoking cop who accepts bribes, selfmedicating with with alcohol and marijuana.

Fares plays him as a man who hides behind his uniform: His slicked-back black hair, leather coat and tie are his shell, offering a tough-guy machismo like those of the French actors in Jean-Pierre Melville’s films. Why

Well, this film is the product of Sweden’s welcoming of immigrants, and it shows that the nearest contemporary successor to great actors like Jean-Paul Belmondo and Lino Ventura might be a European Arab. Fares delivers one of this year’s most impressive male performances so far, one that lifts this film above the neo-noir clichés that it could have suffered from. I think its very existence — and the prosperity of the people who made it — is Camus’ nightmare, and that alone might be reason enough to see it. Still, it’s a vision of Egypt that may be a fantasy but is no less wellinformed in its addressing of subjects like the tormented relationship between Arabs and black Africans.
