There is a concert in Nashville seemingly everyday and practically on every street corner. The live music calendar in August is more about new venues than it is about who’s coming to town. Firstbank Amphitheater is finally open out in Williamson County with a tremendous lineup this month. In the heart of downtown at 5th & Broadway, Nashville’s newest rooftop venue Skydeck has a full lineup of live music for your listening needs. No matter where you take in your live music, the month of August has something for everyone.
