Celebrating 20 Years of The Murfreesboro Pulse: A Look Back As Murfreesboro’s Local Publication Continues to Press On

Thanks for the memories, Murfreesboro.

Over the years, the Murfreesboro Pulse has had the privilege of covering so many stories about area arts, entertainment, dining, news, events, business, people and places. The publication’s vision of highlighting talented creators, interesting stories, worthwhile organizations and fun activities is alive and well.

Keep looking to the Pulse for local coverage of your community and view the archives at boropulse.com and issuu.com/boropulse.

Noteworthy Local Music
The local music scene has always been a big component of the Pulse, and the beat plays on! Independent music and sharing news on Uncle Dave Macon Days, JazzFest, Smo and lots of other concerts, artists and festivals are big reasons for the Pulse’s existence. Each month, many readers continue to look to the Pulse Concert Calendar, an element of every single edition of the Murfreesboro Pulse.

Keeping it Country
On the outskirts of Music City, U.S.A., country and roots music thrive here in Murfreesboro. Travis Tritt, Ricky Skaggs, Pam Tillis, Josh Turner, Rhonda Vincent, Dr. Ralph Stanley, HunterGirl, Dailey & Vincent, and Ashley Dawn are among the country music musicians who have appeared on the cover of the Pulse over the years.

Highlighting Local Art
The Middle Tennessee community contains so many creative individuals. The Pulse has featured work from many, many visual artists over the past decades and looks forward to continuing to celebrate all things colorful, creative, good and beautiful.

Animal Friends
From Co-woofing and puppies to Catfeine kitty cuteness, from painted feathered friends to the Gentle Barn, the Pulse has featured an assortment of memorable animal stories over the past few decades.

Exploring Tennessee
Many enjoy getting away from urbanized areas and spending time outdoors to unplug, unwind and sightsee. Middle Tennessee has a wealth of historic sites, waterfalls, hiking trails and state parks. Visit boropulse.com > Living > Explore Tennessee to read more about the many local spots to see.

Boro Food Scene
Murfreesboro loves its local restaurants. From pizza to pad Thai, doughnuts to coffee, food is common ground for nearly everyone. Please, don’t allow anyone to say “this town doesn’t have any good local restaurants” until they have tried them all! Stay tuned to the Pulse each month for more on the area’s culinary scene.

    Thanks, Bracken, to you and your family and your supporters for providing this LOCAL publication all these years. I know it is NOT easy and few today will do it, but you do and are very successful in the doing of it. Keep it moving. Who knows where those boys will take it in the future!
