Open Lot is back! Festival & Fundraiser this Saturday

Nashville lost a great gallery and music venue earlier this year when Open Lot shuttered. I’m extremely pleased to announce the organization’s triumphant return. Open Lot has secured a humongous warehouse just south of the Nashville skyline. (Full disclosure: I am on the Open Lot music committee.) The group has design plans, a waiting list of tenants, and a cavernous performance space buttressed by giant concrete columns. They have everything they need — except two things: completion funds and your support.

Here’s how you can help:

Open Lot is holding a fundraiser and music festival Saturday, May 28th at the Zombie Shop (a motorbike co-op) in downtown Nashville. The lineup is a veritable who’s who in the local indie scene, including NATURAL CHILD, DENNEY & THE JETS, DELUXIN’, and THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS. For $10, you get 10 bands; and your money will go towards Open Lot’s return.

Because they’re in the demolition zone for the new convention center, the Zombie Shop will be relocating soon; and this may be the last show in the building before it’s torn down. With the loss of one venue, another is reborn.
