Thirth of July Feat. India Ramey, Alexis Saski and the Inglehood Allstars & More

It can be a blast (literally!) to head downtown for the Fourth of July festivities, but it can also be a bit of a clusterfuck due to crowds, parking prices, etc. East Nashville’s annual Thirth of July party provides a more manageable and equally festive celebration the day before — an epic block party featuring top-notch entertainment, plenty of Yazoo Beer and comestibles from Bao Down, G’z BBQ and Fleur De Licious, not to mention tasty soft-serve from Frisson. The music lineup includes Americana singer-songwriter India Ramey, fierce punk-metal practitioners The Dead Deads, the un-Google-able sam., and the fabulous Inglehood Allstars fronted by soul-singing dynamo Alexis Saski. Tickets (which include all the Yazoo you can safely drink) are $20 in advance, and are available at thethirth.com, and $30 at the gate. JACK SILVERMAN
