Artist Line Up Announced! Join us for our upcoming Nashville Field Trip, July 12 – 14! SALE PRICE STILL IN PLACE! $549 (Save $150) TIX HERE
Here’s why our July Field Trips are UNFORGETTABLE:
July 12: Friday night, Antsy serves his popular Southern spread of “Gumbo, Cornbread and Greens,” and then we gather in the living room for a jam session with his buddy and collaborator Chris “Spoons” Long on drums, champion guitar player, Robin “Smack Dab” Kessinger on his six string (Great link to Robin HERE), Charles “Chip” Desnoyers on dobro, and Bob “Catfish” Crossman may just show up with his bass licks and winning smile to really get things rolling. We’re hiring a videographer for this one, folks! One for the archives!
July 13: Saturday, we go on an off-the-beaten-path MUSICAL TOUR of Nashville. Antsy focuses on vintage Nashville, old Music Row and some of the underbelly of this old town that’s going through so many changes. Saturday night’s performer is the dynamic singer/songwriter Cassidy Daniels. She’s Florida-born-and-raised but is now tearing it up in Nashville. Antsy discovered her mighty talent and magnetism on Instagram and invited her to join us. You’re gonna love her. HERE is a link to Cassidy and her music. We’re having Summer Vegetables, grown locally, grilled to perfection and served with the best Nashville Hot Chicken you’ll ever eat. (Antsy’s favorite spot.)
July 14: Sunday night we have the spellbinding guitarist Edgar Cruz winding us up after we’ve had our bellies full of Tennessee BBQ. Antsy will also be inviting some well known guitar slingers to hang out, as a major guitar festival will be winding down in Nashville. July is always a blast around here. Some of our favorite house concert memories have happened in the summer.
MASSAGE! To further make you feel like you’re on Summer vacation, we are fortunate to have Michelle Roy, a popular, licensed massage therapist based in Sarasota, Florida, with us for the weekend, and she will have a massage chair set up for anyone who might want a little relaxation and body work in between activities, during happy hour, etc. She’s incredible. HERE is her website.
Now, If you’re skeerd of the heat or humidity, don’t be. Nashville is beautiful in the Summer, the fascinating cicadas will be in full song mode, and contrary to popular belief, all of our buildings have air conditioning here. LOL. Cold beer on ice, water and soft drinks will be plentiful, and we’re all going to be having so much fun, no one’s even gonna think about the heat. If you’ve never partied in the South on a Sweet Summer Night, you don’t know what you’re missing. We do it up right, baby! Come and experience what all the Country Songs talk about! It’s a thing. Can’t wait.
DAY PASSES: If you’re LOCAL and just wanna hang out one night, that’s totally cool. Just email me at antsymc@gmail.com

“I have made so many new friends, and discovered some amazing musicians I would never have known about. You are wonderful. I came with 4 of my dearest friends. We’ve been around the world together, and this, we all agreed, has been the best trip we’ve ever taken together.” – Sandy

Travel and hotel not included. The Field Trips start at 5 PM on Friday and our last event goes until late Sunday night, so make your travel plans accordingly. Scroll down for hotel, Air BnB and RV camping options.
Again, you don’t have to be “musical” to enjoy this weekend. We have a wide mix of people at each Field Trip, from professionals who want to be better writers, to weekend pickers, to folks who just enjoy live music and want to see Nashville in a way they’d never be able to as a regular tourist.
“Just think of it as a weekend at a friend’s house eating great food, and all these amazing musicians keep dropping by.” – Bob

Travel notes: Our first event is Friday at 5 PM, and our last event goes late Sunday night, so you’ll want to make your travel plans accordingly. If you want to spend a few extra days before or after, many folks do that, and we are happy to recommend restaurants, parts of town, site-seeing destinations, etc., to make your stay in Nashville as enjoyable as possible. Just e-mail us at thetroubs@unhitched.com once you’ve made your reservations with us.
Food: There will be a variety of food served. If you are vegetarian, there will be plenty of non-meat options. If you have other strict dietary restrictions, you are welcome to bring pre-prepared food that fits your needs.
To our Airstream and RVer cousins: There are many great locations with full hook ups near us. If you prefer closer to Nashville, The Nashville Fairgrounds RV park is a favorite among my RVer friends. Go HERE for more info. If you’re wanting to be closer to us, the food and music, Cedars of Lebanon State Park is just 20 minutes away. Click HERE. Lovely, woodsy and full hook ups. Airstream has rallies there, and our friends always enjoy it. There are so many other options. Click HERE to see what I found when I Googled RV parks in the Nashville area.
Hotel and Air BnB info: Any hotel or Air BnB near the airport would be a perfect distance from where you’ll need to be, and perfectly in between downtown and the house where all the parties will be. When traveling in any strange city, be sure to research the area before making your reservation. If you’d prefer to stay closer to home base where the nightly music and food will be, click HERE for Mount Juliet hotels in the Providence Mall area. You’ll be about 10 minutes away, and you’ll be within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. As the map below indicates, you’ll be 20 minutes from the airport and 35 minutes from downtown Nashville. Air BnBs abound in the area as well. Just Google “Mount Juliet/Wilson County, TN” when browsing in your favorite Air BnB app.
