In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s Journey Jukebox travel podcast, travel writer Lisa Evans takes us on an adventure through Nashville, Tennessee, the “Music City” that blends legendary stages, cultural landmarks, and artistic spirit. From the Ryman Auditorium and the world-famous Grand Ole Opry, to the lasting legacy of Johnny Cash and the interactive experiences at the Country Music Hall of Fame, Nashville continues to be a place where music shapes the community and connects people.
The journey also highlights unexpected and fascinating stops like the full-scale Parthenon, the historic elegance of the Union Station Hotel, and family-friendly attractions like Madame Tussauds Nashville. Lisa also spotlights the National Museum of African American Music, an essential stop for understanding the deeper roots of the city’s sound.
This episode is part of our celebration of American Adventures Month and American Artist Appreciation Month, honoring the destinations, stories, and creativity that make the U.S. such a vibrant place to explore.
