Centennial Park Conservancy announced today that Musicians Corner, Nashville’s beloved free concert series, is returning this spring for its 15th year with five weeks of live music in Centennial Park, kicking off May 17.

“For 15 years, Musicians Corner has provided countless opportunities for the community to experience exceptional live music at no cost, and we are excited to return to beautiful Centennial Park for another great season,” said Justin Branam, Musicians Corner Executive Producer. “Since its inception, Musicians Corner has supported Nashville’s music scene by offering meaningful paid performance opportunities for artists, and a lineup that is inclusive of the city’s vast and diverse music scene. With an incredible lineup of both legendary and emerging artists, Musicians Corner is a great place to see your favorite bands and discover new artists to love. We hope the Nashville community will join us as we celebrate this milestone year.”
