Music in and near Nashville, TN

One thing acts as the heartbeat of Nashville: concerts. "Music City," as it's lovingly nicknamed, gave the world Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Grand Ole Opry, so it's hardly a surprise that its citizens live off of music. But concerts in Nashville go well beyond these household names. Off the beaten path are Nashville music venues that hark back to the beginnings of country, gospel, and soul, including Nashville Nightlife and Legend's Corner, where fans can meet rising stars alongside their favorite acts.
