City Cast Nashville

Metro Arts is back in the news for this edition of the Friday News Roundup, as the Arts Commission has finally agreed on a funding mechanism. Host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek are breaking that down, as well as What’s Banned in Tennessee This Week, why Morgan Wallen’s various “aerial encroachments” are swirling once again, quick hits on stories out of TSU and one of our local plantations, and why congratulations are in order for Vanderbilt Football.

And stick around after the roundup for our Don’t Go Gently tip for the weekend, presented by our exclusive launch sponsor, Tecovas. Nashville’s favorite record store, Grimey’s, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this Saturday at The Basement East with a holiday-themed bash. It’s got a banger lineup of musicians — Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor, Langhorne Slim, Robyn Hitchcock — and rumor is Santa plans to make an appearance. Feel free to bring your kids to this family-friendly event. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and all proceeds will benefit Trans Aid Nashville. Don’t go gently, go in Tecovas!
