Nashville’s new outdoor live concert venue, Ascend Amphitheater, officially opened its doors to the public this past weekend, kicking off opening season with four sold-out shows and a free open house for the community. With an official ribbon cutting that morning with Nashville’s Mayor Karl Dean in attendance, Eric Church kicked things off on Thursday night to a capacity house in the “sterling new facility overlooking the Cumberland River and the downtown skyline” (Rolling Stone) and continued the festivities on Friday night as he played to a second sold-out crowd.
