There are certain places in the world that have fancy nicknames, but don’t necessarily back those nicknames up when you go there. Nashville is the exact opposite of that. Known as “Music City”, it completely backs this title up with a foundational culture of live music up the wazoo. If you love live music and you’re wondering whether or not you should go visit Nashville, here’s why you should definitely do it. Spoiler alert: the hype is real.
Live Shows Everywhere
When you arrive in Nashville, the place you want to go to see live music is the main downtown area. The cool thing is that you can go there at any day of the week—not just the weekends—and you’ll be met with an incredible experience. As the night starts to hit the town, you’ll start hearing jangly chords and twangy guitar riffs.
The first bar you walk into, you’ll be excited to see that there’s a cool country band playing on stage. The second bar you walk into, you’ll find another artist performing—perhaps this one’s just a basic open mic. The more bars you walk into, the most astounded you’ll be that there’s a performance going on at nearly every single one.
This is the beauty of Nashville’s live music scene. It’s not just the quality, but the sheer quantity of it as well. The very density of live performances is through the rooftop, and you’ll absolutely have the time of your life.
