Music Row

Best for: Business, Sightseeing

Music Row, which is around one mile southwest of downtown, is the beating heart of the music industry in Nashville. Consisting of a stretch of streets long lined with recording studios, music publishing houses, record labels, and other music-related businesses, Music Row has been a hub for country, rock, gospel, and pop since the 1950s. Historically, Music Row has been home to iconic recording studios like RCA Studio A & B, Columbia and more where Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Bob Dylan and other legendary artists recorded many of their hits. Today, it continues to attract musicians, songwriters, producers, and industry professionals from around the world. The district is centered on 16th and 17th Ave. (called Music Square East and Music Square West), along with several side streets. It's not a stretch like Broadway where live music is played constantly. On Music Row, most of the magic happens behind closed doors.
