"Mourning Todd Snider, Facing Budget Woes, and AI Music Debate in Nashville"
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Sunday, November 16, 2025.
We begin today with breaking news from our music community. Nashville is mourning the loss of Todd Snider, the legendary folk singer-songwriter and East Nashville icon who died Friday at 59. Snider’s career spanned three decades, inspiring countless musicians. His passing follows a recent assault in Salt Lake City and ongoing health challenges, and tributes from all corners are pouring in for the man known as the “mayor of East Nashville.”
In city hall news, Metro agencies say they’re still waiting for promised federal funds after the recent government shutdown ended, with local transportation and park services especially impacted in the coming weeks. That’s on top of the ongoing debate around new public safety initiatives on Broadway. Local leaders are emphasizing patience and transparency as budget talks continue.
Looking at real estate, the downtown market remains steady, with nearly 200 homes listed this week—average prices holding at just over seven hundred thousand dollars. East Nashville and Sylvan Park are seeing brisk activity, though some sellers report longer wait times to close as lending rules tighten ahead of the holidays.
Nashville’s job market has had a busy week. Walgreens workers across the city are reacting to the removal of six paid holidays following the company’s recent acquisition, and restaurant owners along Charlotte Avenue say they’re struggling to fill more than 50 positions. Meanwhile, there’s a burst of optimism as several tech startups are opening up shop near the Gulch, with over 120 new jobs expected before year’s end.
For those looking for Thanksgiving catering, a beloved local BBQ spot is now taking orders for smoked turkey meals and classic sides. Orders can be placed through Monday, with pickup set for the day before Thanksgiving.
Turning to culture, country music fans continue to debate the rise of AI in songwriting. “Walk My Walk” by Breaking Rust, an AI-generated track, recently hit No. 1 on Billboard’s country chart, sparking heated conversation here in Music City. Songwriters and the association on Music Row are urging for clearer labeling, saying art comes from real people—not machines.
The CMA Awards arrive at Bridgestone Arena this Wednesday, with superstar Vince Gill set to receive the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. It’s a proud moment for our community, so expect traffic and crowds around Fifth Avenue this week.
In sports, the Nashville Predators brought drama to Stockholm, rallying late against the Penguins and grabbing a 2-1 win in overtime. Filip Forsberg tied the game with just seventy seconds left, and Steven Stamkos clinched it early in OT. Back home, Vanderbilt football stuns with a 7-1 start for the season, making headlines for their grit and perseverance.
Local schools share some proud news as Lebanon Road preschoolers pack food boxes for families affected by the shutdown—a reminder that even our youngest can make a big difference.
For today’s weather, expect chilly rain through the morning, clearing by afternoon with highs in the mid-fifties. Windy conditions might slow down outdoor events, so plan accordingly.
On our crime report, Metro police responded to a major incident yesterday on Lebanon Road following a rollover crash that closed the street for hours. Power has just been restored in Gallatin after an outage affecting thirty-six hundred neighbors. There’s also a public safety alert after a group was detained for a marijuana-related probe, with two children moved into state care.
And for a feel-good story, Nashville churches have stepped up to feed hundreds in need following recent aid cuts. Volunteers on Jefferson Street share that nobody leaves hungry.
