“With the unrivaled talent in and around Nashville, we all regularly have the opportunity to see one-of-a-kind live performances, yet there’s nothing quite like Westhaven Porchfest,” said Mary Lee Bennett, Marketing Manager for Westhaven. “Where else can you walk the streets of a stunning community, pull out a fold-up chair wherever you’d like and listen to best Nashville has to offer? Porchfest is a unique music and art event unlike anything else in Nashville.”
