Some of my favorite newer bands (not really nationally known) come out of Nashville. And none of them are country artists. Belmont University right there in Nashville has a good School of Music. Lots of talent coming out of there.I love Nashville but find the prices for most things to be comparable to most large cities. That being said, if you stay 30 miles out, it's reasonable, but you lose the experience. If you love music, not just country but any type of music, you'll find the very best performers all over Nashville. My wife hates country, but will spend all night at Music Row just marveling at the talent level of the musicians and singers.
Since we moved to the mid west from Ct., we've become campers. The campground we frequent in Nashville has a small (50-60 people) barn that they use on Friday and Saturday nights to provide entertainment. I've heard some tremendously talented people perform there. One guy in particular had a beautiful voice, played about 10 different instruments during his set and was very personable. That was 8 years ago and although I keep on expecting to see him make it, I've never heard of him again. The competition is ridiculous.
Absolutely, I know of Belmont and it's first class school of music. My daughter strongly considered going there for music until she became a little more realistic in her career path (thank god!).Some of my favorite newer bands (not really nationally known) come out of Nashville.
