NASHVILLE, TN — Nashville Black Market, Nashfeels, and Black as Party are bringing the rodeo to the city, and it is ready to uplift Black culture while celebrating life! This Memorial Day Weekend, May 23, the hotly anticipated Black Ass Rodeo is coming to Cannery Hall Mainstage, with festivities set to begin at 7 pm. Attendees are encouraged to wear their best rodeo-inspired attire and get ready to saddle up on the event’s mechanical bull, while DJs spin throughout the night.
“You’re going to come and experience Black culture to the fullest!” Stephens Crutcher of the Black Ass Party and Nashfeels said. “Often, people come dressed up and everything. In a cowboy and cowgirl outfit and attire. Boots, jeans, denim shorts, a nice hat, and you’re gonna hear Black music. Get ready to have fun, dance, and feel good about yourself!”
Crutcher said he is excited about the rodeo he helped plan with Nashville Black Market co-founder Carlos Partee. Crutcher said rodeo-themed parties have been popular over the last four or five years, and that he is also excited to share the history of the rodeo’s connection to Black culture. Crutcher said the mechanical bull idea originated from an event he threw with Nashfeels around 4-5 years ago, after the then-recent release of Cowboy Carter album, to joyous success. Partee and Crutcher said this is the 5th Black Ass Party they have thrown together, and that it has only grown in size and fun as the celebrations continue…
