NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 16, 2022) – Assembly Food Hall is transporting the spirit of New Orleans to downtown Nashville. The massive entertainment and dining destination located at Fifth + Broadway, will hold its first Mardi Gras celebration on Feb. 26, the Saturday before Fat Tuesday.

Attendees will be immersed into the New Orleans culture through the entertainment, food, drink and activation specials offered for this Mardi Party. There will be live jazz music on Skydeck from Righteous Few Brass Band, followed by a headlining performance from Roland Barber & Friends.
“You don’t need to go to New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras. You can savor the sights, sounds and creole cuisine of the Big Easy right here in downtown Nashville,” said Cari Hallman, director of marketing for The Food Hall Co., Assembly Food Hall’s parent company. “This is the first year for Assembly Food Hall to celebrate Mardi Gras in Music City, and we are pulling out all of the stops. From Nashville’s largest rooftop, Skydeck on Broadway will transport you to Bourbon Street.”
Food specials will match the atmosphere. Assembly Food Hall is bringing a taste of NOLA to many of its bars and eateries, including Mardi Gras Donuts from Donut Distillery, King Cake from Cotton & Snow and The Philly Special’s Fried Shrimp Po Boy, served with a side of crab fries and white queso. There are also creole-inspired drink specials including Test Tube Shots and the infamous Hurricane featuring Bacardi.
A costume contest kicks off at 4:30 p.m., so guests are encouraged to throw on their beads, accessories and Mardi Gras colors for a chance to win big prizes. Guests who are brave enough can also have their fortune read from the complementary Tarot Card Reader.
The Mardi Party kicks off at noon at Assembly Food Hall on Saturday, Feb. 26. At 6 p.m., DJ Dirty Darren will keep this party going into the evening at Skydeck on Broadway.

FT Live: Herman's Hermits Starring Peter Noone
2022-02-26 16:00 - 19:30 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Peter Noone is a multi-talented entertainer, who has been delighting audiences nearly all his life. At the age of fifteen, Peter achieved international fame as “Herman”, lead singer of the legendary pop band Herman’s Hermits. His classic hits include: “I’m Into Something Good,” “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter,” “I’m Henry VIII, I Am,” “Silhouettes,” “Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat,” “Wonderful World,” “Just A Little Bit Better,” “There’s A Kind of Hush,” “A Must To Avoid,” “Listen People,” “No Milk Today,” “The End of the World,” “Leaning On A Lamp Post,” and “Dandy”. Ultimately, Herman’s Hermits sold over fifty-two million recordings. In all, fourteen singles and seven albums went gold.
As “Herman”, the photogenic Noone graced the cover of nearly every international publication including Time Magazine. He performed on hundreds of television shows and appeared with such luminaries as Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin and Danny Kaye. He was cast as the engaging “Duke of Cheshire” in ABC’s musical version of The Canterville Ghost. Soon thereafter, he portrayed the title role in Hallmark Hall of Fame’s Pinocchio. He also starred in three highly successful feature films for M-G-M: Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter; Hold On!; and When The Boys Meet The Girls.
Accompanied by his band, Herman’s Hermits, Noone currently performs over 200 concerts a year. He consistently plays to sold-out venues and his admirers span the generations. Today’s teen girls scream just as passionately as their mothers did back in 1965, prompting VH1 to select Noone as their viewer’s choice for the “Sexiest Artist of the Year”. There is no doubt that Peter Noone’s extraordinary talent, disarming wit, handsome features and compelling stage presence will continue to delight fans of all ages, for a long, long time to come.

Along the way, he has garnered numerous BMI awards, including 5 #1 awards from BMI.
As a recording artist and instrumentalist, Marcus released a critically acclaimed country record for Columbia Records in 1995, ‘All In Good Time’. In 1998, Marcus and Scottish ‘Big Country’ front-man, Stuart Adamson, released their duo album ‘Supernatural’, as ‘The Raphaels’, with Track Records out of London. He has also released several independent records; most recently, ‘The Passion’, on CTM Records.
Turning to theatre, Hummon has written 6 musicals and an opera. Three of his musicals, ‘Warrior’ and ‘The Piper’, and the musical-dance-hybrid ‘Tut’ (a collaboration with Abdel Salaam and the Force Of Nature Dance Company) were featured Off-Broadway as part of the New York New Musical Festival in 2005, 2006 and 2011 respectively. ‘Warrior’ and ‘American Duet’ received invitations to be work-shopped at the prestigious Eugene O’Neill Summer Conference in 2005 and 2006.

His latest work for the theater is a concert-theatrical exploring the life of Frederick Douglass which premiered in 2015 in Nashville, and was invited to be performed at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis in 2016.
Upcoming projects include the scoring and co-producing a new film, ‘The Last Songwriter’, featuring Garth Brooks, Jason Isbell and EmmyLou Harris, focusing on the culture of Nashville’s songwriting community, and recent attrition due to streaming and illegal downloading.
Marcus lives in Nashville, TN, with his wife Becca and their 3 sons…Levi, Caney and Moses.

United Way of Greater Nashville Presents the Annual Patricia Hart Society Hart to Heart Luncheon
Supported by PNC Bank and Atmos Energy
United Way of Greater Nashville’s annual Patricia Hart Society Hart to Heart Luncheon, featuring a silent auction, shopping, lunch and program highlighting our work to strengthen early literacy in our community.
Tuesday, March 8, 2022 | Event opens at 10:45 a.m. followed by the luncheon at noon at Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Cool Springs, 820 Crescent Centre Dr, Franklin, TN 37067
Our community is facing an early literacy crisis. Three out of four of Greater Nashville’s third graders are not reading on grade level. In Williamson County, 32 percent of students are not on track with their grade level. Children who have not developed basic literacy skills by the time they enter kindergarten are three to four times more likely to drop out in later years. This year’s Hart to Heart Luncheon will dive into our work to strengthen early literacy—and how the community can help—by exploring three United Way programs: Raise Your Hand and Imagination Library of Middle Tennessee.

Franklin Theatre Live: JD Souther

An Evening with JD Souther – All the Hits. Some of the Stories.
Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee JD Souther is “one of the most celebrated songwriters of his generation,” writes Interview Magazine. “Raised on a steady diet of big band and jazz during his childhood, Souther has routinely returned to that music—as well as the genius songwriters of the early 20th century (Gershwin, Cole Porter)—for inspiration. On his latest studio album, Tenderness, Souther combines these musical threads, striking a perfect balance between understated jazz and the ineffable pop narratives that have been the backbone of much of his greatest work.”
JD’s latest releases include Tenderness (Sony Music Masterworks), described by Uncut Magazine as an album that connects “LA’s ‘70s golden age with the Great American Songbook,” with songs that “sound like standards themselves.” Souther has also reissued expanded editions of John David Souther, Black Rose and Home By Dawn (Omnivore Recordings), followed by a reissue of Longbrach/Pennywhistle (September, 2018 / UME).
Longtime friends Glenn Frey and JD Souther known as Longbranch/Pennywhistle originally released on the Amos label in 1969, the self-titled Longbranch/Pennywhistle may have ultimately been consigned to the side bins of the acid-rock era, but songs like “Kite Woman” and “Run, Boy, Run” serve as the literal seeds of the country-rock movement Frey and the Eagles perfected to a T. Besides navigating the success of his own fine solo career (see “You’re Only Lonely”), Souther also went on to be a chief Frey collaborator on such pivotal Eagles songs as “Best of My Love,” “New Kid in Town,” and “Heartache Tonight.”
Souther has penned countless hits for the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Roy Orbison, James Taylor, Don Henley, George Strait, Trisha Yearwood, Brooks and Dunn and others; while establishing a cult following as a performer with the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band and as a solo artist. As an actor, he has appeared in the TV Shows Thirtysomething and Nashville, among others. A passionate animal lover and advocate, JD is also involved with Best Friends Animal Society.
“Souther proves his work holds up as well as Dylan’s or Simon’s or Lennon and McCartney’s and… deserves such astute re-examination.” – JazzTimes
