MudClub Presents: Love - Ceramic Works for the Heart
Get ready for an exhibition that's all about LOVE! MudClub is bringing us "Love: Ceramic Works for the Heart.” A stunning collection of ceramic pieces that honor the thing we need now more than ever. And honestly, what better time than the holidays to celebrate love in all its forms?
Opening Night: First Friday, November 7th from 6-9 PM
Join us for the opening reception, where you'll meet the artists, enjoy some wine, and experience these incredible ceramic works that capture love's many expressions. From bold statement pieces to delicate, intimate works, this exhibition promises to touch your heart and maybe even help you find that perfect, meaningful gift for someone special.
The show runs through the end of December, making these one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces perfect for holiday gift-giving. There's something deeply personal about giving handmade art. It says "I saw this and thought of you" in the most beautiful way possible. Come fall in love with love itself!
Musical Storytelling: Angel Corsi's "Songs for Lovers"
We're thrilled to welcome Angel Corsi for an intimate musical performance that's going to blow you away! Angel's new album "Songs for Lovers" brings an incredible Americana/Soul sound that's been compared to a "Chicano Springsteen" and "Amos Lee adjacent" - and trust us, once you hear him, you'll understand why.
Angel doesn't just perform songs; he tells stories through music. His soulful voice and authentic songwriting create this magical atmosphere that transforms our coffee shop into an intimate concert venue. Whether you're a longtime fan of Americana or just love discovering new artists, this is an evening you won't want to miss.
Check out more about Angel at angelcorsi.com and mark your calendars. This is going to be special!
Holiday Shopping at Tenn Street: Art, Books & Vinyl!
Can we talk about how perfect our space is for holiday shopping? While everyone else is fighting Black Friday crowds, you can leisurely browse our curated collections with a warm drink in hand. Here's what makes Tenn Street the ultimate gift destination:
Art Gallery: Original, one-of-a-kind pieces from local artists that make unforgettable gifts. Nothing says "thoughtful" like supporting local artists!
Vinyl Collection: For the music lovers in your life, our carefully curated vinyl selection offers everything from classics to contemporary gems. There's something magical about gifting vinyl - it's an experience, not just music.

December Magic: Wanderer's Tale with Soaring Arts Music Collective
Mark your calendars for something truly extraordinary! On December 22nd from 6 - 7 PM, the Soaring Arts Music Collective presents "Wanderer's Tale" - an interactive musical storytelling experience with the Empyrean String Quartet that's unlike anything we've ever hosted!
Here's how it works: YOU help create the story! Led by a narrator, audience members will develop a character, spin a wheel of suggestions to determine actions, and watch as these plot points directly translate into the music the quartet plays. It's part concert, part improv, part collaborative storytelling, and completely magical.
The quartet has even created a special drink for the event: a Hot Hazelnut Chai Latte that they say represents them best. We love artists who think about every detail of the experience!
This is perfect for families, date nights, or anyone who loves unique cultural experiences. Where else can you help write a story that's immediately set to live classical music? Only at Tenn Street!
Still Loving Our NA Options: Athletic Brewing & HopTea!
Our non-alcoholic craft beverage game continues to thrive! Athletic Brewing and HopTea have become absolute favorites, especially during the holidays when you want something special but need to stay sharp for all those festivities.
