Your Guide to January 2025 in Nashville
The calendar has turned over to a new year, and that means we’re all rested and ready for exciting new activities … right? Host Marie Cecile Anderson, Hey Nashville newsletter editor Margaret Kingsbury, and executive producer Whitney Pastorek are here to fill the first month of your calendar with great options. Which local museum is pay-what-you-want this month? Where can you go ice skating? What Americana artist is bringing their hardcore band to the Basement East? We’ll help you make the most of everything Nashville has to offer this month.
If you’re looking for even MORE options, we’ve covered some great activities and important news stories across the city in recent episodes: If you’d like to kick off the year by giving back, we talked about some of the best volunteer opportunities in town, and learned more about the street paper that helps our unhoused neighbors. If you’re looking for new music, you might want to check out our roundup of the best albums released by Nashville artists last year. Hungry? How about a Jewish-Texan mashup, or some comforting Italian food? And there’s plenty of local news to catch up on, from chaos at Metro Arts to the state of disability access.
City Cast Nashville brings you a new episode every weekday morning with the day's can't-miss conversation about life in Music City. We’re covering the news and culture of our endlessly growing city from every perspective we can find — including yours. It’s like a backyard barbecue and the whole town’s invited, so whether you’ve lived here for a blink or a lifetime, we hope you’ll pull up a lawn chair and sit a while.
