Nashville Isn’t Just Country
When you think of Nashville, you probably picture cowboy boots, honky-tonks, and country hits — but that’s only part of the story. Nashville Isn’t Just Country pulls back the curtain on Music City’s other side, where rock, pop, hip-hop, R&B, Americana, and indie scenes thrive alongside the neon lights.

Hosted by insiders who’ve lived and worked in the heart of Nashville’s music industry, each episode takes you into the studios, venues, and backrooms where artists from every genre are shaping the city’s evolving sound. From behind-the-scenes stories and candid interviews with musicians, producers, and industry pros, to deep dives into the city’s hidden creative hubs, we explore how Nashville became a melting pot of music — and why it’s only getting bigger.

Whether you’re a die-hard music lover or just curious about what really goes on beyond Broadway, this is your all-access pass to the real Nashville.

Before it was neon-lit and pedal-tavern-packed, Nashville’s Broadway was a gritty stretch of honky-tonks and hopefuls chasing a dream. In this episode of Drop Me Off in Nashville, we explore the transformation of Lower Broadway — from legendary country music launching pad to bachelorette party central. The honkytonk God-Father Steve Smith, and who’s profiting, who’s getting pushed out, and what does it mean for the soul of Music City? From the influence of Bridgestone Arena to the rise of barroom cover bands, we unpack the boom, the backlash, and the local voices caught in the middle of it all.
