Live On the Green’s third season, presented by Lightning 100, will open Sept. 8 with a unique collaboration between Nashville-based artist K.S. Rhoads and the Nashville Symphony. The performance is the first in a free, six-week concert series taking place Thursday nights through Oct. 13 at Nashville’s Public Square Park downtown. The show kicks-off at 6 p.m. with a performance by Will Hoge.
The Nashville Symphony works with a diverse array of artists each season, but this is one of the first times it has collaborated with an emerging local singer-songwriter. Rhoads will write and chart the music for his performance, where he will play piano, guitar and harmonica. NSO Associate Conductor Kelly Corcoran will conduct the 60-piece ensemble. The performance will feature Rhoads’ original music including new songs from an EP that will be released that night.
The remaining series lineup:
Sept. 15—Los Lonely Boys; Rumba
Sept. 22—Robert Randolph & The Family Band; The Dirty Guv’nahs; Moon Taxi
Sept. 29—Ten Out of Tenn; Edwin McCain
Oct. 6—Brett Dennen; Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors
Oct. 13—Here Come the Mummies
More artists will be announced as they are confirmed.
