When it comes to music, we’re all across the board. But one thing’s for sure: We’re always looking for new singers and songwriters to become acquainted with!
Living in Nashville, we’ve been fortunate to have some unique opportunities to mix & mingle with lots the best artists & musicians in the area.
Here’s an eclectic listing of all the concerts we’ve been to, our favorite singers and songwriters, and the reasons we’re so glad we live in Nashville – Music City USA…
By the way, here are the best places to spot celebrities in Nashville … when they’re not performing in music venues!

…voted “Best Radio Station” in Nashville!
We moved from Florida to Tennessee in 2001. All signs point to the fact that we will probably retire here — by choice. We L O V E Nashville! Our favorite places to live are just south of the City — we’ve had houses in Brentwood, Franklin, and Spring Hill. And we have properties in Leipers Fork, Cookeville, and Lewisburg. This site is where I share my best tips for moving your family to Nashville and/or visiting Nashville for the first time — with the ultimate goal of helping you find fun things to do in Williamson County and Davidson County. When I’m not out & about enjoying the Nashville area, you’ll find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites). To date, I’ve written over 500 articles on this site! Many of them have upwards of 100K shares.
