About Nashville
Long before Broadway neon and honky-tonk bars lined Lower Broadway, Nashville earned its nickname the hard way, one recording session, one handwritten lyric, one perfectly bent string at a time. The city's studios drew pickers and singers from the Appalachian hills and the Texas plains, layering fiddle and steel guitar into a sound that could break your heart with a single chord. The Grand Ole Opry, broadcasting live since 1927, gave those songs a stage and gave the whole country a reason to listen.
