About Music
City
Yes, Nashville is
Music City. But that includes a vast array of
music types such as classical, jazz, rock and
alternative in addition to country and
bluegrass. Nashville surprises people by being
more diverse and cosmopolitan than they expect.
And you'll encounter some of the nicest people
in your life, even the ones who can't carry a
tune in a bucket.
Many movies
have been made about Nashville. Enough books
about Music City have been written to fill a
bookcase. And, of course, scores of songs are
dedicated to the city of music. But, while music
is the lifeblood of Nashville, visitors will
also find here a city of culture and history, of
haute cuisine, of pro sports, outstanding
academics, natural beauty and pure Southern
charm. Nashville is a place where the past and
the future peacefully coexist and build, one on
the other, to create a destination that appeals
to the interests of every visitor. This city is
alive. You can feel its pulse when you walk down
its sidewalks. And, fortunately, you can also
hear it almost anywhere you go.
