On the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month in East Nashville, Chuck Beard brings together and hosts local writers and musicians in a spectacular show, East Side Storytellin’. Launched in November of 2012, East Side Storytellin’ has consistently showcased the best of what Nashville is about to everyone taking a break from their busy lives to join in the fun. Authors and musicians have included but are not limited to: JT Ellison, Alice Randall, Kevin Wilson, Victoria Schwab, Robert Hicks, Tiana Clark, Rashad ThaPoet, Amanda Shires with Jason Isbell, Tommy Womack, Griffin House, Caitlin Rose, Carolina Story, Elenowen, and so many more!
East Side Storytellin’ is a bi-monthly live event at The Post East recorded and edited into an hour-long podcasts. It originally aired on WAMB until the station changed ownership in December of 2013. These days, you may hear each set in its entirety on SoundCloud. Below is a sampling of each East Side Storytellin’ since the genesis of the show.
