Your Guide to Nashville's Neuhoff District
Share with your friends! Pinterest LinkedIn Email Flipboard Reddit The Neuhoff District is a quietly blooming creative corridor where soaring industrial relics collide with cutting-edge design studios and local cafés. Once overlooked, this riverfront enclave near Germantown now pulses with local energy — murals splash across walls, startups buzz in repurposed lofts, and top Southern chefs yell, 'Order up!' A canvas for innovation and community, Neuhoff is Nashville's next 'it' neighborhood, rooted in grit and growing with grace. Here's where to eat, shop, play, and more! Pin Neuhoff District's Meaty History The Neuhoff District traces its origins to 1905 when German immigrant Henry Neuhoff and his brother established the Neuhoff Packing Company along the Cumberland River. Then nicknamed 'Butcher Hollow' for its stockyards and meat-packing plants, the business expanded regionally in the 1930s and eventually shuttered in 1977 amid industry-wide closures. Pin Following decades of abandonment, the sprawling brick complex found new life in the 1980s and 1990s as a creative space for the Nashville Jazz Workshop, the Cultural Arts Project, photography studios, and even singer-songwriter John Prine's writing studio. In the late 1990s, the McRedmond family acquired the site and began a long-term revitalization vision, fueled by heir Stephen McRedmond's dedication to preserving the industrial architecture. Pin By 2019, Atlanta-based New City Properties (they did Ponce City Market) tapped top firms to embark on a massive adaptive reuse and new construction project. 'Our goal with the Neuhoff District was to create an iconic destination for Nashville that honors the past and celebrates the future of the city,' Jim Irwin, Founder and President of New City Properties, tells us. 'As it comes alive, Neuhoff will be a movable feast of experiences, constantly changing, with new things to taste and see.'

‘Unplug and come home': Stanfest gears up for another unforgettable summer in Canso
A Stanfest sign is pictured at the Stan Rogers Folk Festival in Canso, N.S. (Source: Stan Rogers Folk Festival/JYazer) The Stan Rogers Folk Festival, known as Stanfest, returns to Canso this July with a mix of storytelling, culture, and classic East Coast charm. This year marks the festival's 28th edition, spotlighting artists from across Canada and beyond. 'It's such a dynamic environment – you never feel fully prepared,' said Steve McIntyre, the festival's artistic director in an interview with CTV Atlantic's Katie Kelly. 'But I feel great about where we are. I'm a lucky guy to be doing this.' McIntyre, now in his second full year at the helm, says the week-long celebration starts earlier than most people realize. Cultural programming kicks off Monday, July 21, with a series of community events leading up to the main-stage performances. 'There's a vibrant Acadian culture there, there's an African Nova Scotian community just outside of Guysborough proper,' said MacIntyre. This year's Thursday night show is a highly anticipated John Prine tribute concert – featuring his actual touring band fronted by a lineup of local artists paying homage to the late songwriting legend. 'His legacy is just that will live forever as one of the best folk roots songwriters of any generation,' said MacIntyre. From there, the festival transforms into a full-on folk camping experience, with three days of music, food, and connection. 'We sort of think of this as a like an unplug and come home,' said MacIntyre. More information, including the full lineup and tickets, is available online.

Bonnie Raitt in Vicar Street: a healing night of welcome warmth and real soul
Bonnie Raitt Vicar Street ★★★★☆ 'Ireland in any weather is beautiful to me.' Bonnie Raitt is telling Vicar Street about the nine-day break she took here, surrounded by sheep, before playing Belfast on Sunday night. The rest surely did her good because she's in rare form tonight. She hits an early highlight with the rattling, barrelhouse groove of Thing Called Love, a song originally on John Hiatt's Bring The Family. That album featured the slide guitar of Ry Cooder but even he'd have to bow to Raitt's playing as she tosses off an effortless swamp porch solo, knife blade sharp and smooth as molasses, from the battered Stratocaster she apparently bought for $120 back in 1969. And she's got that voice to go with it. Take Mabel John's 1966 classic Your Good Thing (Is About To End). Raitt, brimming over with pleading soul, stretches out vowels, holds notes until her vibrato is on the verge of cracking, and when that voice has finally had enough of the uncaring man in the lyric, her slide guitar takes over to show him the door. An almost supernaturally intuitive interpreter of songs, Raitt delivers an achingly beautiful take on Richard Thompson's Dimming Of The Day, a called-for Angel Of Montgomery by John Prine ('Nobody cut through like John'), and twists Dylan's Million Miles inside out with a glint in her eye as she implores her baby to 'rock me for a couple of months'. Then she bests them all by bringing the house to its feet with the encore's I Can't Make You Love Me, a tale of broken love familiar to every knocked-about heart. READ MORE Raitt makes several bows to old friend Paul Brady , in the audience having the same good time as the rest of us. First she claims she's nervous with him watching, then declares it an honour. When asked to sit in he allegedly replied, 'You can't afford me,' but with the greatest respect to the man from Strabane, she doesn't need him as she commandeers his Not The Only One and Steal Your Heart Away, making them her own. Raitt calls her show 'a healing experience in this suffering, hard-assed world' and that's what it is But Raitt also knows how to write a song. Nick Of Time, the title track from the 1989 album that finally made her an overnight success 18 years after her debut, is one thing with its great lyric about getting on a bit ('Those lines are pretty hard to take when they're staring back at you'). Just Like That is something else entirely. To the surprise of many, including the other nominees and Raitt herself, she won the Grammy for Song Of The Year with it a few years back but the judges were right, for once. A woman who lost her son is visited by the man who lives on thanks to her child's transplanted heart. It's moving on record but it's devastating live. In that inexplicable way a song you've heard before can sneak back up on you, Raitt gets to the line where she lays her head on his chest and she's with her boy again and you're gutted by the lyric's power. 'They say Jesus brings you peace and grace, well he ain't found me yet,' has a similar effect. Raitt calls her show 'a healing experience in this suffering, hard-assed world' and that's what it is, whether she and her superlative four-piece band are transforming the room into a rambunctious roadhouse or a hushed confessional. A night of welcome warmth and real soul. There aren't many like her.

Introducing the Lantern series ‘No Kentucky Home'
John Prine, whose statue overlooks Festival Square in Central City, is part of the rich musical heritage that sets Muhlenberg County apart. Local concerns about a rise in homelessness and conflicts over how to respond give it something in common with many other places. (Kentucky Lantern photo by Austin Anthony) Driving from the Lantern's office in Frankfort to my house in Lexington, I'm often snagged by a couple of red lights, where I avoid eye contact with the person standing on the corner holding a cardboard sign asking for money. One of the luxuries of city life, I suppose, is keeping some people no closer than your peripheral vision — and thoughts. That luxury is less available in small towns, where the person on the street is not anonymous but someone you once worked beside on the line at the poultry plant. Or someone who reminds you of your child or mother. Or someone who's sleeping in your church's parking lot. Today we begin a series of stories from one such Kentucky place. It's a small place that looms large in the imagination because of its musical heritage. It inspired John Prine to sing 'Oh, daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County' in his anti strip-mining anthem 'Paradise.' Not much more than 30 miles from the cradle of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe's Rosine, Muhlenberg County contributed a guitar style — thumb-picking — made famous by native son Merle Travis, who also wrote the GOAT of coal mining songs: 'You load 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.' Don and Phil Everly — the chart-topping Everly Brothers — trace their lineage to Central City. Muhlenberg County is not extraordinary, though, in another respect: The struggle to come to terms with what it owes the people who many of us (me included) conveniently keep on the far outskirts of our minds. I'm confident we'd find similar stories and conflicts across Kentucky, in state capitols and all the way to the debates raging right now in Washington, D.C. These very personal stories introduce us to people who don't avoid eye contact, who see the 'campers' and couch surfers and evicted as neighbors. And, most emphatically, not as eyesores or threats. These stories are about a shortage of services and housing, made worse by a surplus of untreated addiction and trauma. Reporter Liam Niemeyer and I are sorry that some officials were unwilling to talk to him. Liam reached out via email, phone messages and dropping by. And it's not too late. Their perspectives are important; we need to hear them, especially those of people who hold elected office. I recognize that solutions are not obvious, simple or inexpensive. We are able to tell such intimate stories because Liam has spent a lot of time getting to know the people and the place. We weren't sure what the story would be in the summer of 2023 when, pursuing an idea sparked by a report in a local newspaper, Liam spent a day with several people in Muhlenberg County who lacked housing. He also began to meet local people who wanted to help. As he stayed in touch by phone and in person, we knew we had a story worth telling even as we wrestled with how to tell it. I hope you will find our efforts worthwhile as you meet Mallie and Gwen, Courtney and Jennifer, Zachary and the cantankerous but lovably philosophical John Paul. We hope these personal stories will inform and inspire policy discussions and the search for solutions.
