For the next couple of months you can see a variety of music at the Downtown Nashville Public Library, for free!
It's a mid day break, Nashville style, called the Courtyard Concerts.
"Business
folks that come during lunch, moms, all ages enjoy it. Being music city
and having a library that has this type of music really adds to what we
have to offer" explains Renuka Chrisoph.
All ages were seen Tuesday dancing and singing along as The Wanna Beatles played for the crowd. In fact, the show put up record numbers. Organizers say 700 people showed up for the concert.
"We feel we are extending the legacy of The Beatles keeping the music alive" says the Grammy nominated group.
Sitting front and center was 9 year old Gracie Bryan and her mom Amy.
"I am here because I love The Beatles. I like "Here Comes The Sun" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" explains Gracie.
"Music
appreciate and arts are important to the entire family so coming to see
this was a perfect field day" says Gracie's mom Amy.
If The
Beatles aren't your musical style, don't worry, that is what makes this
series unique. No two weeks are alike, appealing to a wide variety of
people.

By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward, is visiting Tennessee to promote one of the British royal family's charities, the Duke of Edinburgh's awards.
The prince presided over an awards ceremony at the governor's mansion in Nashville on Thursday for the first batch of young Tennesseans to participate in the leadership and character program.
About 80 youths received the award by participating in community service, skills development, physical fitness and adventurous journeys through the Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, LEAD Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy or the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Organization.
Following the event, Gov. Bill Haslam and first lady Crissy Haslam invited the awardees and their families to tea inside the governor's residence. Later on Thursday, the prince was scheduled to headline a black-tie gala at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville.
