6/1 Blue Lotus Sketch Comedy Show

From the minds who brought you ImprovNashville, Music City Improv, The Nashville Comedy Theater, and the Ultimate Comedy Stand-up Show comes a brand new, hilariously funny sketch comedy show. It's ridiculous, so beware - and try not to hurt yourself. Ticket sales at the door start at 7:00 p.m. Credit cards accepted. Doors officially open at 7:30 p.m. and show starts at 8:00 p.m. sharp. Tickets are $10 in advance online and $12 at the door.

6/1-6/2 Carmina Burana

The full range of human emotion will be on display when Orff’s Carmina Burana brings the season to an exciting finish — and Schermerhorn Symphony Center is the place to experience it. Nashville Symphony Chorus joins the orchestra for this enduringly popular piece, highlighted by the thunderous “O Fortuna.” Writing for 16 vocal soloists, sometimes singing as many as a dozen different parts, Vaughan Williams adapted Shakespeare’s verse for Serenade to Music, which has been known to move listeners to tears.

6/2 Bib & Buckle Fest

Award-winning duo Joey+Rory have set Saturday, June 2, 2012 as the date for their 4th Annual "Bib & Buckle Fest" Homecoming Concert, Food & Fun event. What started as a casual gathering of fans and friends for an afternoon of music and frivolity has turned into a full day of activities that includes a canoe float, games, karaoke, and of course, lots of music in the field at their historic farmhouse in Pottsville, Tennessee

6/2 Justin Townes Earle & Todd Snider

Justin Townes Earle and Todd Snider at Ryman Auditorium on Saturday, June 2nd. - Singer/songwriter Todd Snider first garnered attention for his timely alt-rock satire "Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues," a folk-rock song that struck a chord with younger people fed up with angry alternative rock bands, and at the same time, appealed to aging rockers who grew up with the folk revival of the 1960s. - Justin Townes Earle comes from good stock. His father (legendary and ground-breaking singer/songwriter Steve Earle) must have taught him well. But don't be so quick to compare the two. Whatever he may have learned from his old man, he continues to prove himself as an individual- always forging his own path no matter where the others are going.
