Nashville, the place known as Music City, is far more than just the commercial center of modern Country Music. A home for many traditional and emerging genres, we visit the outstanding store Grimey's, as well as Vinyl Tap, an up-and-coming contender that serves up a well-curated vinyl collection as well as live performances in a combination record store and hospitable bar. We'll have our cameras on everything, including a surprise indie record store basement performance with the world-renowned Metallica, as well as a heartwarming story of when the one and only Taylor Swift jumped in to save her favorite indie record during the pandemic.
