Music row

I've spent a lot of time in Nashville and in those bars. Sure, most of the music is covers, but artists will mix in some originals and also sell their original CD's.
We call Broadway "NashVegas"

Really? Nashville has had that nickname for decades. It's due to the amount of neon and rhinestones. It actually has very little to do with Broadway, or anything current. NashVegas is the old Nashville. Now, it's drunk tourists, ugly condos, bachelorette parties in pink stretch El Caminos and a bunch of corporations mooching off the state.

Actually "covers" is another word for the absolute cream of the crop best 0.0000000001% of original music written in the last 60+ years.
You would do well to consider where on that spectrum your originals sit before inflicting them on the public.

I disagree. Covers are songs people of average to low intellect can still remember when they're drunk. Nothing cream of the crop about it.

Lower Broadway is not indicative of the local music scene in Nashville. No one that lives here actually goes there unless they are working. If you want a taste of the local scene go across the river to East Nashville next time. Broadway is just a drunken tourist trap these days. Sad what it has become.
And the actual music row is about a mile or so from there. 16th and 17th ave south and the surrounding area is the actual music row. Home to record and publishing companies and many studios.

Can you provide some club names to check out?
Thanks!

The Basement East, 5 Spot, Foobar or it might be called the Cobra now.... the East room. There’s also 3rd and Lindsley downtown. Catch the time jumpers there if you get a chance. And exit Inn and the End in midtown. There are a ton more but I don’t get out much.

Thank you, Sir! I did go online and came up with 5 Spot, East Room, Basement East, The Crying Wolf...hopefully wifey will be OK getting away from Broadway and the obvious (of course I'll check that stuff out, too). Time Jumpers playing on Monday, the day I leave...oh well. I thank you again, LF for the suggestions, so, where can I find Steve Gorman? Would love to shake his hand and thank him for the beautiful music he helped to make w/ The Black Crowes ( just finished his book...:woot::woot::woot: wow!)
Just kidding, I'm sure Steve's busy and whatnot.
Peace,
MJ
