What it Takes to Run Nashville’s Iconic Music Venues
Today on City Cast Nashville, host Grace Fuisz sits down with Jason Moon Wilkins, WNXP Program Director and the host of the new podcast Music Citizens, to introduce you to some of the characters that made Nashville’s music scene what it is today. They highlight the owner-operators behind Nashville’s most iconic music venues, how booking has changed for artists with these new corporate promoters, and they make a solid case for a new Five Points statue.
This is the fifth and final episode we'll be doing this month about the music community in Nashville. And stick around for our new segment, A Mile In Their Boots: We'll be going inside a day in the life of Julie Gardner, the greenhouse manager for the beautiful gardens of Cheekwood.
Today's special segment, and our Nashville in Stereo series, are presented by our exclusive launch sponsor, Tecovas. Tecovas knows more than handmade boots and fine Western wear — they’ve got an ear for great music, too.
