The word alone conjures up romantic thoughts of country music, old and and new. I was lucky to spend a few days there and had a chance to explore its bones through the fine art of photography.
This was my world for 4 solid days of creeping the bars and Honky Tonks along the streets of its legendary Music Row armed with nothing more than a small 50mm lens. My favorite lens for street photography.

Caption: The reality of Nashville, Tennessee is that it reaches far deeper into country music than many would think.
Nashville is a crucible for musical forms of all kinds. From spoons and washboards, and musicians with Hank Williams stylings and Southern Blues mixed with Rockabilly and Modern Country Western Rock. This birthing place of original American music has it all.

Caption: Being native born Angeleno and spending my formative years in Southern California, I was exposed to every type of music, from Bebop Jazz to hard Rock and Punk and every type of music in between. At that point in my life, I thought I knew what music was all about, boy was I wrong!

Thank you Nashville!
