Nashville Area Concert Guide

There is a reason Nashville is called Music City and one look at JamBase’s Nashville concert listings will provide you with all the information you need to score the best-priced tickets.

Nashville’s music scene is the undisputed headquarters of country music. The publishing houses along Music Row have produced country music’s most beloved songs and the Nashville metro area has long been home to stars of the genre. The honky tonks along Broadway like the world-famous Tootsie’s have live music seven days a week as up-and-comers cut their teeth and play for tips.

Go out Tootsie’s back door and through the alley and you’ll find yourself at the back of the mother church of country music, the historic Ryman Auditorium. The Ryman was once home to the Grand Ole Opry, which now broadcasts from just outside Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. In the 1950s, the Nashville Sound was popularized by the likes of Chet Atkins, Owen Bradley and Steve Sholes, and helped bring country music to an even wider audience.
