POPULAR ‘BOURBON PARTY’ AND ‘MUSIC IN THE GARDENS’ SHOWCASE BRING EXTRA ZEST TO 2015 ANTIQUES & GARDEN SHOW OF NASHVILLE NASHVILLE, Tenn., January 21, 2015 — As if main attractions Diane Keaton, choice designers, interactive gardens, and antiques from around the world weren’t enough, the upcoming 2015 Antiques & Garden Show will let its hair down with two unique entertainments on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 30 and 31, at Music City Center. First up is “The Bourbon Party,” a relaxed, engaging guided tour of fine bourbons hosted this year by Jim Myers, The Tennessean’s noted food and drink columnist. Sponsored by Brown-Forman, this informative celebration of great-tasting whiskey also features light Southern fare and live music. It runs from 6-8 p.m. Friday at the center of the main show floor. Tickets are $50 per person and available now for purchase at antiquesandgardenshow Coming Saturday is the added bonus of “Music in the Gardens,” an intriguing mix of handpicked performers who will entertain guests as they tour the antique and horticultural offerings, explore the gardens, or simply unwind. Presented between 4 and 7 p.m. Saturday, this event is offered free of charge with regular admission. The 2015 standout for “Music in the Gardens” is Nashville favorite Suzy Bogguss, who will perform her hit recordings as well as music from her new album, Lucky, a tribute to Merle Haggard. Her success spans four decades and has produced multiple gold and platinum albums and six Top-10 singles. (Note: Bogguss is available for advance interviews.) Also performing at “Music in the Gardens” will be Fontanel Records recording artists Steven Whitson, known by many for his YouTube hit video Grandmas Boy, and Jennifer Leigh Young, a jazzy powerhouse. Rounding out the lineup are award-winning cellist and Nashville session musician Nicholas Gold of the Nashville String Machine, and singer-songwriter Renee Wahl, whose music blends rockabilly and folk. Co-chaired this year by Julie Fleming and Kae Gallagher, and presented by TVV Capital, the 2015 Antiques & Garden Show runs Jan. 30 through Feb. 1 at Music City Center. Individual run-of-show tickets are $12 to $15 before Jan. 26 and $20 at the door. All tickets, including tickets to the lectures and parties, can be purchased now at antiquesandgardenshow Tickets to the event’s Thursday night Preview Party are also now available at the website. Conceived as a wide-ranging salute to “style,” this 25th anniversary of the midwinter charity event features keynote speaker Diane Keaton, the Father of the Bride and Annie Hall actress and style icon who has authored two books on residential design. Also on tap over the show’s three days are sought-after interior and horticultural designers; five specially designed gardens; and more than 150 sought-after antique, art and horticultural dealers from the U.S. and Europe. Their on-site booths offer a one-stop, one-of-a-kind shopping opportunity for everything from fine paintings, furniture and designer jewelry to unique garden urns, fountains and repurposed vintage pieces.
