Exploring Nashville
There are around 700,000 Nashvillians, making this the largest city as well as the capital of the state of Tennessee. If cities had soundtracks, Nashville’s would be like no other. It would be a mix of music’s past, present, and future – with sounds of country, of course, plus bluegrass, rock, pop, Americana, gospel, classical, jazz and blues, blending in harmony.
You might be curious about Nashville's ‘Grand Ole Opry’ – this is in fact a live country-music radio broadcast that began in Nashville in 1925, setting the stage for the city’s future as a country-music powerhouse. It was once broadcast from Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville, but from 1974 it’s broadcast up to five nights a week from the Grand Ole Opry House.
