THURSDAY 5/15

MusicDAVID WILCOX You’d think that a musician cooped up in a small trailer with his wife and kid for a while would emerge with an album of fairly on-edge songs, but not David Wilcox. His new album Airstream—named for where he’s been living and where it was recorded—has the soft glow of contentment outside of the fast lane and heartfelt sentimental songs for both of the souls with whom he’s been sharing those close quarters (“Forever Now” for his wife and “This Old Car” for his son). Wilcox saves his ire for political matters, like violence in the name of religion. Even then, the grainy, mellow warmth of his voice and patient, poetic philosophizing of his lyrics make “Three Brothers” and “To Love” come off as more thoughtful than caustic. 8 p.m. at The Belcourt —JEWLY HIGHT

TheaterTWELFTH NIGHT One of the Bard’s best-loved comedies doesn’t lack for plot devices—a pair of twins, cross-dressing, mistaken identity, the power of love (and jealousy). This new Naked Stages/Valhalla Shakespeare Project collaboration, under the direction of Tee Quillen, promises a revelatory modern take on the Bard, and the notable cast of eight (each assuming multiple roles) features some very good actors who ought to know what they’re doing with the language. The performances at Valhalla are free. Through May 17 at Belmont University’s Black Box Theater; May 31 & June 1 at Valhalla Farms (3081 Jimtown Road, Woodbury) —MARTIN BRADY

MusicJOHN GORKA There’s a moody chiaroscuro to John Gorka’s folk sketches, as he works from dry, dispirited wit (“I Saw a Stranger With Your Hair”) to wistful resilience (“A Saint’s Complaint”), tracking the heart’s nomadic travails. While primarily a folksinger balancing his broad-shouldered baritone with lithe, ringing acoustic arpeggios, he also wanders into bluegrass, kicks up the occasional bit of rock ruckus and isn’t averse to adding a touch of swing to his poetic meditations. He’s a gifted storyteller, employing both confessional and third-person narratives to weigh ambitions and hopes unfulfilled. “I’m far from the mint condition, circulation’s hard on you,” he sings on the Celtic-tinged “Blue Chalk.” 9 p.m. at Bluebird Café —CHRIS PARKER

Bone Up on StalloneFIRST BLOOD/SON OF RAMBOW SUMMER SEQUEL FAKE TRAILER COMPETITION It can’t be coincidence that after 26 years, the movie that unleashed Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo upon a lily-livered world is back in theaters—at the same time that British import Son of Rambow is killing ’em in limited release. The comedy about two boys who shoot their own home-movie sequel to First Blood doesn’t arrive in Nashville until May 23 at The Belcourt, but to drum up excitement the theater is sponsoring a trailer contest for all ages. All you have to do is make a trailer 30 seconds to two minutes long for a nonexistent sequel—There Will Be More Blood? No Country for Older Men? Re-Made of Honor?—using only original footage, and submit it to the theater on CD or DVD by May 18. The winner gets a private screening of their choice, and the trailers will be shown throughout the film’s run. To get warmed up, check out the one-night-only return of First Blood to theaters, featuring the theatrical debut of the movie’s original downbeat ending. 7:30 at Green Hills 16, Hollywood 27 and Opry Mills 20 —JIM RIDLEY

FRIDAY 5/16

Music2008 MERRELL CRAWFISH BOIL From where I’m sitting, the Crawfish Boil is the strangest event ever. With a lineup heavy on active rock and ’90s nostalgia, the event planners obviously looked across musical tastes to draw people with no musical taste. OK, that’s a little harsh—but it’s hard to imagine someone looking down the lineup and being excited about Papa Roach and T-Pain and 3 Doors Down and Presidents of the USA (yes, those dudes) and some band called Five Finger Death Punch. The highlight of the bill could be local teen pop-punkers Paramore, who bring a catchy pop sensibility to their emo-tinged anthems. Oh, and there’ll be 15,000 pounds of crawfish too. May 16-17 at Riverfront Park —LEE STABERT

ArtTHE ARTIST’S VOICE: AN EXHIBITION FEATURING TENNESSEE ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES The title of this ambitious show emphasizes the important role that art plays in conveying the unique experiences of the individual. Since the first markings on a cave wall, art has been a vehicle of healing: social, spiritual and physical. The idea of a “voice” is something universal to all artists, and in presenting such a large and varied show, Voice overcomes any possibly precious preoccupations and finds its own voice in art-for-art’s-sake highlights like Paul Miktarian’s pastel drawings. Featuring more than 50 works by numerous artists, Voice features paintings and prints, as well as sculpture, digital art and documentary film. May 16-Sept. 14 at the Frist Center’s Conte Community Arts Gallery; free admission as always —JOE NOLAN

ArtPERSONA OF THE HAT Hats protect us from the elements, they once conveyed social status, and the hat-as-fashion-statement can be iconic: Where’s Bogey without his rumpled fedora? But how does a humble hat become an object of inspiration? Persona is not only a party for Hanging Around Gallery’s sixth anniversary, it’s also a celebration of family and tradition. Offering up a collection of hats that date back to the 1930s, Hanging co-owner Toni Dranes Hooper emptied the trunks of her family’s former haberdashery to entice the show’s artists. Each artist offers a nod to the hats in various media. Nashville wine divas The Saucy Sisters will make sure you pair that trucker cap with the proper chardonnay. May 16-June 13 at Hanging Around; opening reception 6-9 p.m. —JOE NOLAN

CHRISTI NUELL Most eating is performed as part of a ritual: People eat to be close to their families, as an element of a religious ceremony, or as a means of indulging an extravagant lifestyle. In her current show at Sarratt, MTSU printmaking professor Christie Nuell investigates the significance of eating in the human experience. Nuell’s mixed-media pieces incorporate vivid colors and highly structured surfaces that draw the viewers’ attention to an everyday activity whose significance is often overlooked. Through May 30 at Vanderbilt’s Sarratt Gallery —AMANDA DILLINGHAM

Music

GHOSTFINGER W/DAVID VANDERVELDE If the soundtrack for your summer could use something along the lines of The Band fronted by Bowie, Ghostfinger is your band—and if that’s not your thing, then at least stop by to witness the finest beards and handlebar mustaches Nashville has to offer. Enhanced by the most entertaining front man in Nashville, the band’s tunes prove to be equally as heavy on pedal steel and organ as they are on charisma, humor and wit. Side A of their 7-inch single best describes their eclectic mix of glam, Southern and psychedelic rock—they truly do sound like they were all “Born on the Moon.” Joining Ghostfinger on the bill is another Bowie inspired songwriter, David Vandervelde, a youngster who packed up his guitar chops and theatrical voice and holed up in former Wilco member Jay Bennett’s studio for two years and recorded a superb T. Rex-ish ’70s revival album. 9 p.m. at Exit/In —MURRAY SHARP

CrooncoreBILLY BLOCK PRESENTS THE GRANDVISTA MUSIC CLUB Block has kept his weekly showcase/radio broadcast The Billy Block Show (formerly Western Beat) going strong through 12 years of fickle tastes and music industry upheaval. Now he’s teamed up with Nashville label GrandVista for a monthly evening of dining and dancing to jazz, romantic crooners and the Great American Songbook. The maiden voyage of “Nashville’s Perfect Date Night” begins at 6 p.m., with seating for a candlelight dinner. The GrandVista Recording Orchestra, featuring local jazz and session heavyweights, takes the stage at 8 p.m., followed by sets by songstress Shelean Newman, who’ll interpret jazz and Broadway standards, and romantic crooner Perry Danos. (Both Newman and Danos have upcoming releases on GrandVista, Anything Goes and Swingin’ on the Moon, respectively.) 6 p.m. at Limelight (202 Woodland St., across from LP Field) —JACK SILVERMAN

MusicTHE COAL MEN Cooled out but not austere, The Coal Men’s 2007 Beauty Is a Moment never exerts itself, yet its atmospheric effects aren’t merely atmosphere. Singer-songwriter Dave Coleman writes like a guy who listens more than he talks—he’s smart enough to underplay, and he has a feel for outsiders, which might include him. The terse accompaniment of bassist Jason Hitchcock and drummer Dave Ray adds the perfect fatalistic edge to Coleman’s tunes. “Come to Me” is country-rock as rendered by The Feelies, while the band’s arrangement of “Natural Wonder” uncoils like the best pop. Beauty stands with records such as Fountains of Wayne’s Traffic and Weather and Marshall Crenshaw as much as it does any comparable Nashville alt-country effort. They’re currently working in town on a new record with a projected early-2009 release date. 9 p.m. at The Rutledge —EDD HURT

MusicBRADLEY WALKER It was just minutes after Bradley Walker’s stellar IBMA Awards Show performance of “Life or Love” last October that the young singer was called back to the stage to accept the organization’s Male Vocalist of the Year trophy. It was one of the big surprises of the evening, and by the time Walker wheeled his chair out, there was barely a dry eye in the house. His 2006 Rounder debut Highway of Dreams boasted a big-name cast of players, but these days, he’s backed by a dandy ensemble of youngsters that includes bass man David Babb, powerhouse guitarist Dustin Benson, the redoubtable Patton Wages (banjo, guitar) and an underappreciated mandolin player, South Carolina native Jenni Lynn Gardner. Creative and flexible, yet firmly grounded in tradition, the group offers perfect support for Walker’s powerful baritone, whether he’s serving up a bluegrass classic or a country ballad. Five years ago we called him “arguably the best unsigned singer in bluegrass today,” and the only change we’ll make now is to drop the “unsigned.” 9 p.m. at Station Inn —JON WEISBERGER

SATURDAY 5/17

MusicRICKY YOUNG CD RELEASE SHOW If lazy Saturday mornings had a resonant frequency, a specific tone that identified them, that tone would be Ricky Young’s voice. The Eastsider’s debut album Learn to Steal is a simple pleasure, the folk-rock equivalent of drinking a beer with your biscuits and gravy while realizing that the person you brought home from the bar really is cute, funny and cool. The album meanders occasionally, drifting off into hazy introspection and losing focus, but when it bears down on songs like “Fade to Gold,” “Acoustic Guitars” and the title track, Young’s slacker romanticism is undeniably endearing. 9 p.m. at Exit/In —SEAN L. MALONEY

TelevisionLAMBCHOP-A-PALOOZA With Music City Arts TV-9 providing the biggest explosion of televised local arts coverage Nashville has seen in decades, Nashville bands are getting a boost. Imagine another channel devoting almost three solid hours of airtime to local treasure Lambchop. Tonight marks the broadcast premiere of No Such Silence, a 45-minute portrait of the ever-expanding group by Florian Giefer and Peter Göltenboth that weds their dreamy, melancholy smear of a sound to lushly textured split-screen Super 16 footage of local landmarks and European touring. It’s an unusually handsome doc that could easily have gotten festival berths, with the added treat of music by Cortney Tidwell, Altered Statesman and Dave Cloud’s Gospel of Power. MCA follows it with a two-hour Lambchop/Hands Off Cuba concert filmed at Brussels’ Ancienne Belgique, featuring the Dafo Quartett and projected films by James Clauer and Deborah Johnson. If nothing else, this package shows that Nashville now has a televised forum for unconventional local arts and film programming—and that Nashville bands and filmmakers should get off their asses and meet the challenge. 9 p.m. on MCA TV-9; also 4 p.m. May 18, 8 p.m. May 21 & 9 p.m. May 29 —JIM RIDLEY

Semi-Mythic Texan Comes to TownJON DEE GRAHAM There’s no glamour in Jon Dee Graham’s music, which might explain the Texas songwriter’s mythic status in Austin and his low profile elsewhere. Mark Finkelpearl’s 2007 film Swept Away: A Rock and Roll Documentary follows the songsmith as he makes the rounds in a town swamped by good musicians. With his screwball blues guitar style, Graham brings an intensity to live performance that evokes punk pioneer Roky Erickson. He doesn’t sing as compellingly as Erickson, which would be a problem if Graham weren’t capable of writing songs on the order of “Amsterdam,” in which he notices “the most beautiful girls in the world on bikes.” Swept Away is a film about not being a rock star, and not letting it get you down—as Graham tells an interviewer, “That job opportunity has passed me by.” 9 p.m. at Mercy Lounge —EDD HURT

Go for BaroqueALIAS CHAMBER ENSEMBLE closes out its “Double Take” series with this concert, featuring a veritable United Nations of classical music. The evening spans 325 years and five countries, with works from France (Camille Saint-Saëns’ Fantasie for violin and harp), Italy (Pandolfi’s violin sonatas 4 & 6), Germany (selections from Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe, arranged for cello and piano), Slovakia (two pieces for two cellos by Ilja Zeljenka) and the good ol’ U.S. of A. (Aaron Copland’s Sextet for clarinet, strings and piano). Guest artists include pianists Leah Bowes and Melissa Rose, violist Daniel Renker and Thomas Heine, who will read the German text of the songs from the Schumann piece. ALIAS regular Matt Walker will also have his hands (literally) full—in addition to his cello duties on the Copland and Pandolfi, he’ll play some Baroque guitar on the latter. 8 p.m. at Blair School of Music’s Turner Recital Hall —JACK SILVERMAN

Kids’ MatineeTHE POINT In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man may be king—but in a land where everything must have a point, even heads, a round-topped tyke named Oblio is an outcast. Since it was first broadcast in 1971, Fred Wolf’s psychedelic animated fable has bobbed in and out of view with narrators ranging from Ringo Starr to Alan Thicke; here’s your chance to see a rare print with the original narrator, Dustin Hoffman. What hasn’t changed is the gorgeous score by the fable’s creator, Harry Nilsson, including “Think About Your Troubles” and the hit “Me and My Arrow.” The film is this weekend’s Family Matinee, showing Saturday and Sunday only. Noon May 17-18 at The Belcourt —JIM RIDLEY

MusicQUOTE AT OFF 12TH With The Pace of Our Feet, the upcoming debut album from Nashville duo Quote, Jamie Bennett and Justin Tam have contributed a sleeper classic to the folk/singer-songwriter canon. The fact that Tam and Bennett have done so quietly, with little to no pretense, highlights the ease with which Pace offers its many pleasures to the listener. Not only do the pair spin engaging narratives, but producer Mike Odmark weaves exquisite mixes around them. Intimate yet spacious, the songs exist as freestanding milieus for the moods and characters residing within. While Tam and Bennett’s harmonies boom, other instruments creak, shimmy and groan in the background. Fittingly, Pace comes with accompanying artwork and poetry. Quote appears with 11 other acts as part of Off 12th, a free daytime backyard festival (myspace.com/off12th). 11 a.m.-7 p.m. at 1206 Elmwood Ave.; Quote perform at 5:40 p.m. —SABY REYES-KULKARNI

ComedyJEFF DUNHAM We know what you’re thinking. “Puppets?! What am I? Four?” Rest assured, there’s far more to the profession nowadays than neon felt, googly eyes and ditties about division. As anyone who has sung along to Avenue Q or counts Being John Malkovich or Team America: World Police among their favorite flicks will attest, it can be a decidedly adult-themed outlet for biting social commentary. Enter Dunham, who has ridden the ventriloquist route to an American Comedy Award, two insanely successful DVDs and the No. 1 slot on Comedy Central’s 2008 Stand-Up Showdown. Not only do his characters—including a cantankerous old man, a jalapeño pepper and a dead terrorist named Achmed—make you think, they make you laugh ’til your eyes go googly. 7 & 10 p.m. at TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall —JULIE SEABAUGH

Death ProofKEITH DONNELLY East Tennessee gave the mystery genre a boost with the famed Body Farm, and now it has a new private eye. Fictional, that is. Donald Youngblood, author Keith Donnelly’s gumshoe creation, is independently wealthy, athletic and possessed of more influential friends, connected associates and curvaceous female companions than Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe combined. In Three Deuces Down, the opener of a planned series, Youngblood and his Cherokee associate Billy Two Feathers track down a missing heiress and her slippery husband. What happened to them and their millions? Will Youngblood—Blood, to his friends—find the girl of his dreams? The Gatlinburg-based Donnelly sends his gadget-equipped protagonist galloping through the mountain-filled and football-obsessed east-Tennessee landscape, but also jets him off to exotic locales in search of the answers. 2 p.m. at Davis-Kidd Booksellers —CHRIS SCOTT

MusicLADYHAWK W/ NEVA DINOVA Harking back to the late post-punk underground of Dinosaur Jr. and the reckless abandon of The Replacements, Canadian quartet Ladyhawk re-create a band-of-brothers authenticity in their crunchy, riff-driven rhythms. Not too far off step from their eponymous ’06 debut, Ladyhawk’s latest, Shots, was recorded in two short weeks in a Montreal farm house and is yet another blasted-amp portrait of a band who always seem to be budding. Front man Duffy Driedinger’s pinched vocals and the band’s sonic solos are apt accents to their throwback, garage-rock sound. 9 p.m. at The End —DUSTIN ALLEN

MusicLIAM FINN W/LAURA VEIRS It’s hard following in your dad’s footsteps—just ask Julian Lennon. But despite the high bar set by his dad Neil (Crowded House, Split Enz) and uncle Tim (Split Enz), Liam Finn looks capable of matching their output. Finn got his start as a teen in indie rockers Betchadupa before they went on hiatus. Last year, he played with his father in the Crowded House reunion and then released his solo debut I’ll Be the Lightning. He shares Neil’s penchant for airy, Beatles-inspired melodies and the type of subtle craftsmanship that reveals itself on additional listens. Veirs’ girlish vocals and folk-pop style recall Suzanne Vega or the Blake Babies shrouded in an atmospheric fog. The backgrounds of the Seattle native’s songs are often dotted with clatter or odd noise, though last year’s Saltbreakers plays it straight, with some of her best produced shimmery ache yet. 9 p.m. at The Basement —CHRIS PARKER

SUNDAY 5/18

TheaterORDINARY PEOPLE Judith Guest’s sensitive 1976 novel about a modern suburban family in psychological crisis was translated into an acclaimed 1980 film by Robert Redford. In 1983, Nancy Gilsenan adapted the book for the stage, and productions occasionally pop up on the national community theater and college scene. Director Bob Roberts’ new staging in the ’Boro offers locals a chance to revisit Guest’s uncomfortable, often painful lessons on love and communication (and the lack thereof). Plus, a fairly strong curiosity factor—how well does this brand of upper-middle-class angst hold up through the years?—should be in play. The cast includes Matthew Payne as young Conrad, Jeff Harr as father Cal, Julianna Smith as mom Beth (the Mary Tyler Moore role) and Mike McRee as the therapist Berger. Through May 18 at Murfreesboro Little Theatre —MARTIN BRADY

ArchetypeGEORGE JONES His career is the stuff of legend: Left home at 16, overcame a raging cocaine addiction, popped diet pills, performed shows in a Donald Duck voice, found himself on the business end of a straight-razor slashing, smashed guitars and hotel rooms, took a revolver to a tour bus, burned through finances (and wives), got his ass kicked for defending Stonewall Jackson, operated a successful sausage-selling operation, rode a lawn mower for miles in order to procure alcohol…multiple times. Oh yeah, and those 14 equally rollicking and heart-wrenching No. 1 hits ain’t nothing to sneeze at either. These days he’s a bit slower and his voice noticeably huskier, but he is, without a doubt, still the one and only Possum. 7:30 p.m. at the Ryman Auditorium —JULIE SEABAUGH

MusicDRAGON MUSIC SUNDAY FEAT. WILL KIMBROUGH Sundays at Dragon Park are pretty much a given in our household—part of a weekly routine that includes laughing at Pancake Pantry patrons and bitching about work on Monday morning—so we were stoked to hear about the Hillsboro/West End Neighborhood Association’s Dragon Music Sunday series. Featuring some of the ’hood’s best musicians, including Will Kimbrough and J. Fred Knobloch, the free weekly music series starts this weekend with the 19th Annual Dragon Parade and Ice Cream Social, which may be the greatest combination of things ever (other than robots and fried okra). The festivities kick off at 3 p.m., which means you have plenty of time to catch the Belcourt’s screening of The Point too. 3 p.m. at Fannie Mae Dees Park —SEAN L. MALONEY

MONDAY 5/19

She Launched a Thousand TripsPATRICIA SCHULTZ launched more than travel dreams and vacations with her best-selling 1,000 Places to See Before You Die—the work has also inspired a companion reality TV show (gorgeous scenery, annoying couple) produced by Schultz, as well as seemingly endless knockoffs. In the book’s follow-up, 1,000 Places to See in the USA and Canada Before You Die, Schultz narrows her focus to, well, you can figure it out. Arranged by region and then by state, the book offers specific travel experiences mixed in with overviews of music, food and history. Several stops in Tennessee are included: Schultz saw Rock City, hung out at Dollywood, went to Belle Meade Plantation and visited Memphis’ music museums. 7 p.m. at Barnes & Noble Brentwood —MICHELLE JONES

Barack the House!MAKE IT BLUE MONDAY VOLUME III It’s pretty clear that Hillary’s cynical, I-think-you’re-so-dumb-you’ll-fall-for-this gas tax move has torpedoed her campaign, so it’s time for Dems to rally behind Barack. Join the Williamson County Democrats at this fundraiser, featuring a musical lineup—Delbert McClinton, Bekka Bramlett, Todd Sharp and the inimitable Pokey LaFarge—that shows they’re the party who knows how to party. (Seriously, can you name even two or three cool Republican bands? Didn’t think so.) Come on, libs, it’s time to pony—er, donkey—up. RSVP to 790-3659; $20 donation. 6-9 p.m. at Saffire Restaurant in The Factory at Franklin —JACK SILVERMAN

TUESDAY 5/20

Musical SnapshotsBILL FRISELL’S DISFARMER PROJECT Think of this side project of stellar jazz guitarist Frisell—a Grammy-winning solo artist and sought-after sideman for the likes of Elvis Costello, Paul Simon and Norah Jones—as a less arch, more musically expansive version of the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players. His inspiration is the haunting portraiture of Mike Disfarmer, a small-town studio photographer whose posed World War II-era photos of the citizens of Heber Springs, Ark., evoke a Diane Arbus-like alienation in the hollows of the heartland: two grim sisters gripped in a stilted deadlock of an embrace, little boys facing forward with ancient eyes. Tonight, along with the photos, Frisell will be accompanied by steel guitarist Greg Leisz, violinist Jenny Scheinman and bassist Viktor Krauss. 7 p.m. at The Belcourt —JIM RIDLEY

MusicKT TUNSTALL With just two-and-a-half albums, British import KT Tunstall demonstrates a steadfast desire to avoid easy categorization. The dreamy ’70s-ish folk-strum of tracks like “Other Side of the World” earned her comparisons to Dido, who Tunstall suggested (not inappropriately) “can’t fucking sing.” Acoustic Extravaganza—squeezed out between world tours—offered the countrified “Ashes” and the husky drift of Beck’s “Golden Age.” It’s impressive beyond its odds and sods status, and teased anticipation for last fall’s Drastic Fantastic, which maintains a more straightforward pop/rock approach. The fuller production muddies some of Tunstall’s charms, though her versatility is apparent on tracks like “Funnyman,” whose folksy shuffle is buoyed by a funky Mothership undercurrent, and the sultry Latin strut of “Hold On,” which sounds like a soul-injected Miami Sound Machine. 7:30 p.m. at the Ryman Auditorium —CHRIS PARKER

MusicTHE HEROINE SHEIKS Frontman Shannon Selberg’s unhinged imagination provides the surreal lyrical perspective icing the odd, discordant riot of Heroine Sheiks. They follow in the noise rock tradition of Selberg’s old band The Cows, who came out of the same mid-’80s Minneapolis hardcore scene that produced Hüsker Dü, Breaking Circus and Amphetamine Reptile Records. Formed with ex-Swans guitarist Norman Westberg in the wake of The Cows’ dissolution, the Sheiks had the honor of headlining shows with Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Gogol Bordello, without making any of the same subsequent commercial inroads. This isn’t exactly surprising, since their pummeling atavistic roar still harks back to a moment when the Butthole Surfers ruled the underground. After three albums, Selberg moved back to Minneapolis and formed a new lineup with guitarist Paul Sanders (Hammerhead). They’ve recorded a new album, Journey to the End of the Knife, consistent with their catalog’s spazzy cacophony. 9 p.m. at The End —CHRIS PARKER

WEDNESDAY 5/21

Local ProduceEAST NASHVILLE FARMERS MARKET The seasonal debut of the all-organic, all-local market near the Five Points crossroads in East Nashville kicks off with music, contests and kids’ activities. The outdoor market will run 4 to 7 p.m. every Wednesday during summer. Organizers Hank Delvin Jr. of Delvin Farms and Peggy Marchetti of Madison Creek Farms have assembled an assortment of local growers who will provide fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, cheeses, honey, flowers and plants. There will also be chef demonstrations, live music and movie nights. 4-7 p.m. every Wednesday at Turnip Truck Natural Market (970 Woodland St.) —CARRINGTON FOX

Wear Demetria’s Clothes!GENUINE HUMAN T-SHIRT SALE It’s no slam at Demetria Kalodimos as WSMV’s news co-anchor that some people wish she’d make a full-time career of her side gig: documentarian pursuing forgotten, marginal or downright bizarre stories from Nashville’s secret history. Thus far her subjects have included the notorious Foot Stomper and a pair of gender-bending 1970s Music Row fringe dwellers. Her upcoming projects include a portrait of The Farm’s revered midwife Ina May Gaskin and the case of a man prosecuted for possession of eagle feathers. To help finance these films, her Genuine Human Productions now sells T-shirts bearing the logo “258”—the apartment number of Nashville’s famed radio evangelist the Prophet Omega, subject of her first documentary Friends Seen and Unseen. They should be available for $20 (L or XL) at her website (genuinehuman.com), but just in case it’s down, contact genuinehuman@comcast.net. —JIM RIDLEY
