Nolensville resident and songwriter Ryan Griffin is known for co-writing the chart topping hit “Dibs” for Kelsea Ballerini. Now Griffin is forging his own artist career. This former Belmont student was recently featured in People Magazine and recently named by Rolling Stone magazine as “one of the new country artists you need to get to know.” We couldn’t agree more. We wanted to get to know Griffin better so we asked him about some of his favorite local places to spend time with his wife and family.
1. Lokale Juice, Nolensville TN
I may be a little bias since my wife Talia is the owner and created all the tasty recipes but I think it is the best juice in town! One of our favorite places to vacation is 30A on the Gulf Coast of Florida so we wanted to bring a slice of that heaven to our hometown of Nolensville. If you’re out that way, stop in for a drink. It’s a small town; you never know who you might run into.
2. 12th South, Nashville TN
On a beautiful day, our go-to for a family-friendly vibe is definitely 12 South located next to Belmont University, where my wife and I met. We work our way down to Las Paletas for a popsicle and then head over to see what’s new at White’s Mercantile – my wife’s favorite!
3. Arrington Vineyards, Arrington TN
When we need a break from the city we head out to Arrington Vineyards and enjoy the countryside. It’s a great place to let Levi run and share a bottle of wine (or two).
4. Radnor Lake, Nashville TN
Take a hike…no really. Radnor Lake is a great place for a stroll or a hike in the hills. Be on the lookout for wildlife. We’ve seen turtles, deer, and more. Levi loves all the woof woof’s (dogs)
5. Cafe Nonna, Nashville TN
On those nights we’re looking for a delicious low key dinner, we head to Cafe Nonna in Sylvan Park for some authentic Italian. The lights are dim, the food tastes like your mom made it, and the vibe is cozy. With all the new and modern in Nashville, sometimes it’s nice to step back and find the familiar.
Thanks to Ryan Griffin for sharing his favorite places with us. Watch his latest video for “Woulda Left Me Too” and follow Griffin on Facebook for the latest updates.
