One of the things I love most about living in Nashville is the live music. The musical history of the city speaks for itself and the abundance of live shows that come through it on a daily basis is hard to rival. One can simply just walk up and down Broadway or 2nd Avenue and hear some of the most talented musicians and singers this town has to offer. You can also visit any music venue spread throughout the city to see some of the best regional and national tours on tour today on any given day. Here is a look at some of the live shows you can catch in the area through the month of January.
