Hang in there Willie Nelson
“I’ll be back again… And again… And again… And again…”

Kris Kristofferson

1936 – 2024

“Kris Kristofferson believed to his core that creativity is God-given, and that those who ignore or deflect such a holy gift are doomed to failure and unhappiness. He preached that a life of the mind gives voice to the soul, and then he created a body of work that gave voice not only to his soul but to ours. Kris's heroes included the prize fighter Muhammad Ali, the great poet William Blake, and the ‘Hillbilly Shakespeare,’ Hank Williams. He lived his life in a way that honored and exemplified the values of each of those men, and he leaves a righteous, courageous, and resounding legacy that rings with theirs.”

—Kyle Young, CEO

Hey yall!! Quick update..

I arrived in Buena vista Thursday night ready to rock out at renewal with my band and all my friends .. but knowing in the back of my mind that there’s a chance I might have to get back to Michigan at a moments notice if my wife went into labor.. we were really hoping that baby boy would wait till Sunday morning at least but he had plans of his own. Friday morning I got to the festival site and did a soundcheck and a quick Q&A set about the album.. I was hanging out backstage getting ready to rehearse for our set when my wife called and told me her water broke. I immediately hopped on a jet (thank you ringo starr for lending me your ride) and headed back. I was mortified to leave the fans hanging and to leave the responsibility of the gig to my band and friends who stepped up and kicked ass in my absence. ( I owe you all a cold beer! ) but I was so excited to get back to my wife because she needed me…

I got to Michigan Friday night around midnight and we have been in labor ever since.. we labored all day yesterday and we’re still in the race. Ally is doing amazing! she is so strong. I’ve never witnessed anything like it. There is an unbelievable amount of strength and courage in that woman. We are still here and she is doing great work. Baby and mother are both healthy. We are hoping to meet our boy today! I’ll let you all know when he’s here. But for now please just keep sending Ally all of your thoughts of love and strength.

I cannot wait to meet him ❤️

Regarding renewal. I WILL find a way to make it up to you.. just give me a sec to be with my family. I’ll figure out a way to make it up to you I promise!

And for those wondering .. as long as all goes well here in the next day or 2, pine k**b is definitely a GO!!

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this amazing time .. and always for your love and support. You all mean the world to me. Thank you 🙏

It’s a great day at Loveless Cafe.

In 1951, Annie and Lon Loveless opened their home to travelers of Highway 100, offering scratch-made southern meals. Their restaurant and hospitality became so popular that they added a 14 room motel (now shops). Over 70 years later the unaltered recipes continue to fill the bellies of over 500,000 visitors per year.

WHISKEY RUN, today! Just finished at the George Dickel Whisky Distillery and have made our way to Nearest Green Distillery

Nathan “Nearest” Green was a former slave and taught Jack Daniel his distilling technique. He became the first master distiller for Jack Daniels, as well as, the first African American distiller (on record) in the United States.

You may have seen the “Wings Mural” in The Gulch, by Kelsey Montague Art… you can find Kelsey’s murals all over Nashville (and the world)! This mural is on the property here, at Nearest Green (Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey), in Shelbyville TN. The bottle in the photo is a single barrel Kelsey Montague edition!

Before First Horizon Park opened in 2015, the Nashville Sounds (Triple A Minor League Baseball) called Greer Stadium home, from 1978-2014.

The new stadium features an LED guitar shaped scoreboard… an ode to the scoreboard, at Greer Stadium, that was installed in 1993. The Greer Stadium scoreboard was sold at auction and relocated to a development at The Nashville Warehouse Company site.
