Something we know about the future of live music in Nashville is that it won’t look and feel quite the same as it has during the past decade. One way we can consider what changes are good or bad is by reflecting on the dozens of fleeting moments captured in Guitar Town, which hung from April through August in the Frist’s Conte Community Gallery. It collects concert coverage of 10 photographers — Angelina Castillo (who joined the Scene’s staff this year), Lance Conzett, Steve Cross, Emma Delevante, H.N. James, Jon Jo, Laura E. Partain, John Partipilo, Jenni Starr and Diana Zadlo — many of whose work you’ve seen in our live-review column The Spin. They eloquently showcase a network of communities evolving, keeping the creative spirit burning bright in the face of immense challenges brought by growth that our city hasn’t fully reckoned with yet.
