Full Moon Pickin’ Party
Dec. 7, 2013—As part of our summer/senior year bucket list, Victoria and I really wanted to go to the Full Moon Pickin' Party--a monthly fundraising event throughout the summer and fall each year that raises money for the Warner Parks in Nashville.
Exploring Nashville: some highlights of my first semester adventures
Dec. 7, 2013—Some fun places I've been in my first few months here at Nashville. Confession: I chose not to include the restaurants because they deserve their own blog post. But here is some extra incentive to come visit Vanderbilt, as if you needed it.
Blogging with the Stars
Dec. 6, 2013—In case you didn't know, my fellow bloggers are super stars. On Wednesday evening, I had the fantastic opportunity to witness not one or two but THREE of my fellow bloggers in various performances on campus.
Inside Blair: Shopping for Supplies
Nov. 16, 2013—The winter weather is upon us, and we are fearful for our instruments. Poor Dmitri, his string height keeps getting lower and lower because of this bipolar weather we've been having. Did y'all see the flurries on Monday?
A Rocking Sunday in Nashville
Nov. 14, 2013—Last Sunday night, I spent a couple of hours at a bar in downtown Nashville, chatting with musicians and making full use of my eardrums.

A lot of my friends have found opportunities through Vanderbilt to volunteer at the show, and others have won free tickets from CityVU. I, sadly, will not be attending the show in any capacity. Instead, I visited the Country Music Hall of Fame through the Passport to Nashville program.

Oct. 29, 2013—I like music. I mean, I really like music. Especially live music. And there's no better place for the live music-loving Vanderbilt student than Exit/In.
The Music (Wo)man
Oct. 26, 2013—After the fun and excitement that was Commodore Quake, I was a little bummed out thinking that my music-related activities would be over for a while, but BOY was I wrong! In the last month alone I’ve been to three shows, gotten two backstage passes, interviewed four different artists, and have had tons of stuff...
The Art of Patronage: The Musical Edition
Oct. 18, 2013—This event, for two hours on Friday night, marks the first night of the Blair Salon Series, a program successfully piloted last year. Around 30 people gathered at Dean Wcislo's house––performers, professors, and students from every college––for an evening of chamber music. The music was centered on fairy tales, partly as foreshadowing for the upcoming production of "Into the Woods" by Vanderbilt Opera, and partly as celebration of quirky, wonderful feats of imagination.
