Tennessee is the Soundtrack Of America. Seven of the music genres below call it home, and that’s why the Tennessee Music Pathways were created. To help you explore official locations that have been certified as important places in music history.
The Soundtrack of America is in every lyric. Every beat. Every chord.
The music scene in Tennessee can’t be rivaled. What started centuries ago, and inspires the genres we know and love today, runs deep.
And it’s always reinventing itself in new ways — like never-before-done concerts, exclusive access to artists, and interviews with the soon-to-be greats before the rest of the world discovers them.
Redefining 'Underground' Music
To celebrate Tennessee's deep musical roots, we put on an exclusive concert experience like you've never seen - or heard - before: in a cave 333 feet below the Earth's surface.
