“Country Music has always so eloquently reflected the joy and hardships of everyday life, and the artists and songwriters who built this town are full of stories that often never see the light of day,” says Lockwood. “But, these stories are nonetheless a critical (and entertaining) part of what leads up to a song going #1 on the radio, or an artist making their Opry debut, which then in turn becomes an irreplaceable part of our cultural fabric. My goal when I sat down to start planning this four-week series was to create a platform for those stories, and a safe one at that. The design of these drive-in shows is outdoor, socially safe, supports a local business (We love you, Nashville Craft!), and offers true only-in-Nashville entertainment. Devon O’Day and Peter Cooper are seasoned masters in the art of interviewing, in addition to being incredible musicians in their own right. These are events where you can tailgate with families and friends without risking your health, and let the masters of Country Music awe you with their talent. I’m grateful to Cheley Tackett for starting this drive-in concept with Nashville Craft, and even more so for trusting me to build this new series.”
Upcoming performances, in the series include:
- October 23: Devon O’Day ft. Danny Myrick and Megan Linville
- October 30: Peter Cooper ft. Don Henry
- November 6: Peter Cooper ft. Matraca Berg
