Cheekwood Estate & Gardens and Grimey’s are teaming up for a special Thursday Night Out showcase on June 5th, a part of the Inaugural Cheekwood Community Celebration. Grimey’s in the Garden features a performance by Sunny Dada and His AfrikokoRoot Afrobeat Ensemble plus DJ sets from Grimey’s staffers in between bands. It will be an unforgettable evening of music and community! Sunny Dada is a Nigerian American musician living in Music City and fronts AfrikokoRoot, a 12-piece Afrobeat ensemble blending traditional rhythms with modern influences. We’ve seen this band blow minds at previous performances and can’t wait to see them play in this magical setting. While you’re there, don’t miss you chance to explore Cheekwood’s new summer outdoor exhibit, Enchanted Castles and check out Robert Indiana’s The American LOVE (White Blue Red) sculpture, on display now through November 2nd.
