CAA Young Nashville Party (to Benefit Communities In Schools of Tennessee)

Tuesday, Oct. 11, young entertainment industry professionals in Nashville will have the chance to party Gatsby-style for a good cause.

Creative Artists Agency (CAA) will host its annual Young Nashville Party, which brings together young entertainment and sports industry professionals from around the Nashville area in an effort to raise awareness and funds for Communities In Schools of Tennessee (CISTN).

The mission of CISTN is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and succeed in life. Through school-based coordinators, CISTN connects students and their families to critical community resources tailored to local needs, providing services to over 19,000 at-risk students at 41 traditional public schools throughout 61 counties in Tennessee.

The Young Nashville Party will take place at 4416 Ridgefield Way in Nashville from 7-11 p.m. This event is an opportunity for creatives to build connections on a night that will also feature dancing, food, drinks, and even a casino. It’s Great Gatsby themed, and the dress code is formal. If that sounds like a good time to you — and let’s be honest, of course it does! — get your tickets here before they’re gone!

December 13 Underground Writers Round: Who’s Playing and When?

Earlier this week, we announced an Underground Writers Round lineup for December whose versatility and diversity is reflective of the community at Helping Our Music Evolve (H.O.M.E.).

Now, you get to find out who is playing and when at Nashville’s historic Douglas Corner Cafe on Friday, December 13. The evening will be divided up as it usually is, with two rounds of three writers apiece. One at 9 p.m., and one at 10 p.m.

The difference, of course, is that all proceeds from your $5 suggested donation at the door will benefit H.O.M.E., which has provided us and so many others an amazing resource for building relationships and our platforms alike.

Let’s get to it, then, and reveal the finalized lineup after the jump!

PHOTOS: Touchstone Theatre’s Jakopa’s Punch Bowl at The Ice House

Last year, I didn’t have the chance to attend Touchstone Theatre’s Jakopa Punch Bowl. Lisa filled in for me and did a fantastic job, but I was bummed that I couldn’t make it, because it sounded like an interesting event and a great time.

I was right. Last night’s installment of the event was nothing short of fantastic.

This Saturday, it’s Mardi Gras at The Ice House

As we noted in this week’s Can’t-Miss Shows post, Jakopa’s Punch Bowl sounds like a jolly good time at The Ice House on Saturday night. Jakopa’s Punch, The Bastard Sons of Burt Sugarman, and The Charts Funk Band are throwing a fundraiser — complete with king cake, a cup of jambalaya, a cold beer, and an evening of eclectic music — in support of Touchstone Theatre’s upcoming street theatre spectacle – The Jakopa’s Punch Processional.

We wanted to learn more, so we reached out to Lisa and JP Jordan at Touchstone Theatre, who filled us in.
