Meaningful online conversations with strangers on Zoom that don't leave you drained. We use question prompts to spark unique convos. You may expect this event to run from 7:00 - 8:15pm ET/ 6:00 - 7:15 pm CT/ 5:00 - 6:15 pm MT/ 4:00 - 5:15 pm PT. Please be aware of time zone differences. About this event ***You'll need the event URL, so be sure to register in advance so we can send it to you. We'll send you an e-mail with the Zoom link a few minutes after you purchase a ticket (and we’ll also send it again the day of the event)-- please check both your “spam” AND “junk” folders if you don't see it!*** ---- These Zoom events are designed based in psychology research to give you all the warm fuzzy feelings of human closeness, without that feeling of Zoom-fatigue afterward. We use question prompts and a structure designed based in psychology research to help you get vulnerable with strangers in a way that actually feels safe, and that brings out the best in people. All our events are trauma-informed and facilitated by folks with therapeutic training. According to our surveys, a lot of our guests report feeling nervous about coming, but 100% of the people who say they were nervous also end up saying they were glad they came. There might be some selection bias going on, but we still think it's promising :) We even had an academic paper come out about our online events showing that they improve mood and reduce loneliness! Check that out here: <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5827683e6a49634bd84b79f4/t/614cfad6e033d105a07cc40f/1632434903586/preprint-28002-submitted.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">static1.squarespace.com/static/5827683e6a49634bd84b79f4/t/614cfad6e033d105a07cc40f/1632434903586/preprint-28002-submitted.pdf</a>

City Winery Nashville

Rufus Wainwright is widely celebrated as one of the most distinctive singer songwriters and composers of his generation. Praised by The New York Times for his “genuine originality,” the New York born, Montreal raised artist has built a remarkable career that spans pop, opera, theater, and orchestral composition.
Across more than ten studio albums, multiple live recordings, and a GRAMMY nominated concert film, Wainwright has continually expanded the boundaries of contemporary songwriting. His acclaimed release Unfollow the Rules marked a powerful return to original music, while Folkocracy explored his family’s folk roots through collaborations with artists including Chaka Khan, Brandi Carlile, John Legend, and Anohni. His recent live recording I’m a Stranger Here Myself: Wainwright Does Weill further showcases his deep appreciation for classic songcraft.
Beyond his work as a recording artist, Wainwright has composed operas, written music for film and television, and created ambitious large scale works such as Dream Requiem, which premiered in 2024 with narration by Meryl Streep.
Join us for an intimate evening with one of music’s most singular voices, an artist whose powerful vocals and deeply personal songwriting have captivated audiences around the world.Happens on the following Dates: Sep 25, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:30pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada) Sep 26, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:30pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/160660/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
