Musicians Corner Concerts are BACK This Fall

Spotlighting Nashville’s diverse musical landscape with multi-genre performances from dozens of artists.

Nashville’s beloved free concert series Musicians Corner returns this fall with a five-week season of live music in Centennial Park beginning on August 29. In addition to live music, the family-friendly and pet-friendly festival provides food vendors, local artisans and Kidsville activities.

The multi-genre free music festival will kick off with a three-day Musicians Corner’s Free Fest in partnership with Lightning 100 and Presented by Amazon from August 29-31. Musicians Corner will continue every Friday in September from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., including a special partnership with AMERICANAFEST on September 12.

“Musicians Corner is the perfect excuse to get outdoors with friends and family, enjoy cooler fall temperatures, and experience free live music in one of the most beautiful spots in the city,” said Justin Branam, Musicians Corner Executive Producer. “We’re excited to return to Centennial Park this fall with five weeks of free live music from both new and established artists across genres. We are especially excited for the return of Free Fest, a three-day music festival happening during Labor Day weekend in partnership with our friends at Lightning 100.”

Returning this year is Musicians Corner’s Free Fest, a three-day music festival combines Lightning 100 and Musicians Corner’s artist curation efforts alongside the series’ fan-favorite outdoor concert experience that has been cultivated over 16 years in Centennial Park.

Musicians Corner’s Fall Series will feature performances from 38 multi-genre artists, including The Record Company, Yola, Ron Gallo and Cedric Burnside.

On Friday, September 12, Musicians Corner will partner again with AMERICANAFEST. The special concert will give the Nashville community an opportunity to see official AMERICANAFEST showcases for free.
