West End Tour of Homes and Concert

Posted by: lain // Category: West End, Sing Songery // 10:08 am

Unless you continually hit refresh on our main page, y’all will be pleased to hear that we’re having a concert at the Wren’s Nest a week from tomorrow.

Boogie Down, Y'all

The crowd boogeyed like whoa the last time we had a concert here. See?

The West End Tour of Homes starts here on Friday, May 2nd with a concert featuring Theresa Hightower. Tickets for the concert are $25.

I will be attending, that’s for sure, though mostly to coax Ms. Hightower into singing a jazz version of the Wren’s Nest theme song. You will not want to miss that.

The actual Tour of Homes will run on Saturday, Mary 3rd and Sunday May 4th. Tickets for the tour are $15.

Get this though–if you buy tickets to the Tour of Homes, you get in the Wren’s Nest for free. We’ll be open from 10 - 5 that Saturday and 12 - 5 that Sunday.

When was the last time you visited West End? Maybe next weekend would be a good time to check it out.

George Bolles Home, West End 1890

Sure, this particular house was bulldozed to build a highway, but we’ve got no shortage of beautifully restored Victorian and Arts and Crafts-style homes.

I hope to see you here next week. And I mean that. I’m not opening this place up on Sunday for nothing.

    I really wish I could go to the concert! I am finally coming home from Athens but I won’t be back in time. I can’t wait to hear how it goes.

    […] While Lain has mentioned this weekend’s many Wren’s Nest-related events already, we’re not afraid to drive the point home. Especially since this tour of homes offers a glimpse into many gorgeous abodes that, suffice it to say, people don’t always associate with this neighborhood. […]
