Honky Tonks, Country Music and All Sorts of Mayhem On Location in Nashville, Tennessee

Armchair Explorer

This week we are going to Nashville, Tennessee The Country Music Capital of the World … but don’t worry you don’t have to love country to love Nashville. It is a music town. If you like listening to live music – who doesn’t? – then this is a musical odyssey you must take at least once in your life.

We’re going to have some fun, we’re going backstage at 3 rd and Lyndsey, one of Nashville’s most iconic venues, to meet the songwriters who are the beating heart of Nashville and hear a song or two. We’re going to stand on the stage of the legendary Ryman Auditorium, where everyone from johnny cash to Aretha Franklin have played. And of course, we’re going to party on Broadway, Nashville’s ‘Honky Tonk Highway’, row after row of raucous saloons, where you can listen to live music from 10am to 3am seven days a week. It’s like being caught in a maelstrom of sound.

The band’s about to go on stage, turn it up to 11 … we’re going to Nashville, Tennessee.
