Music Row

Nashville studio district

Music Row is a neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee, that serves as the historic heart of the country music industry.

Record labels, recording studios, publishing houses, and talent agencies cluster along 16th and 17th Avenues South.

The name functions as shorthand for the country music establishment itself: Music Row wasn't ready for her sound.
