Photos of Alan Jackson's home for sale in Nashville/Franklin, TN. We've been there several times while driving past various stars' homes in Nashville. (See how much Alan Jackson's house sold for!)

Sara Evans and Craig Schelske appeared hand-in-hand at the Franklin Cinema where they gave fans the opportunity for lots of close-up photos and autographs.

Living in Franklin, Tennessee, we see a good deal of celebrities whenever we're out and about. Here are some of the best places where you are most likely to spot a celebrity in and around Nashville.

I ride my bike on a route that takes me past Tim McGraw & Faith Hill's house in Franklin TN. Here are photos I've taken of Tim and Faith's house over the years

I can't count the number of times I've been to George Jones' house in Franklin, TN. Each year, we visited George Jones home to see his Christmas light display. Here are fun facts, photos, and videos.

Shawn Mullins & Chuck Cannon often do shows together. I've seen them both (separately and together) several times. Tom Bukovac was also on stage this night at 3rd & Lindsley. Photos from this fun night!

These are some hats that were for sale at the Ernest Tubb Record Shop downtown Nashville. he cowboy hats were placed on the floor. The baseball cap in the middle reads: I'd like to check you for ticks.

The CMT Awards show precedes the CMT Music Festival each June. We scored some press passes this year! Here's how things went at the CMT Music Awards show, and some of the unique things that I saw this year...

We saw Darius Rucker for the first time in concert last night. He was having a free show at the Grand Ole Opry -- it was part of some promotion with the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. The Darius Rucker concert footage from this particular night airs this Thursday, August 27th on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Here are photos.

We've seen Chuck Cannon and Lari White several times before -- usually at The Bluebird Cafe. Last night, we were pleasantly surprised to see phenomenal guitarist Tom Bukovac on stage with Chuck. It was a great show with both Chuck and Lari's bands on stage at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville.

Eric Hutchinson played at 3rd & Lindsley, a place that seats less than 300 -- which, if you ask me, is the best way to see musicians: up close & personal! Here are my photos and thoughts about Eric Hutchinson's show in Nashville, Tennessee.

Here are photos and highlights from the first big show at Nashville's Listening Room Cafe featuring: Tony Mullins, Bob DiPiero, Chris Wallin, and Aaron Barker 'in the round'. The Listening Room Cafe recently moved to downtown Nashville, TN after being located in Franklin, Tennessee.

Last night we got to see Shawn Mullins perform "in the round" at the Bluebird Cafe. What a treat! There's nothing better than seeing your favorite performers in small settings like such small, intimate places. Along with Shawn Mullins were Chuck Cannon and Mac Davis. I know... what a group! And we had great seats.

Isaac Hayes died today. Here is my one brush with greatness... the day I met that sharp dressed man named Isaac Hayes.

Actress Sean Young put on her dancin' shoes and sang a Country song that she co-wrote with a couple of Nashville songwriters at the season finale of Gone Country 2. The show was taped at the Wildhorse Saloon. Her song was called "Time For The Boy To Grow Up".

Jermaine Jackson performed at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville during the final taping for Season 2 of Gone Country. His song was a mellow one. It was called 'Loving You Is The Natural Thing To Do'. He co-wrote it with Nashville songwriters Billy Lawson and Anthony Smith.

The folks at Anheuser-Busch have created a new Bud Light Real Men of Genius ad. This one's called Mr Sad Country Song Songwriter, and they've dedicated it to Dierks Bentley -- one of Nashville's top singers and songwriters! Here is the commercial, along with the words & lyrics.

There are a lot of interesting notes about Lorenzo Lamas and his performance at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville -- for the taping of Gone Country 2. For starters, his daughter Shayne Lamas was the lucky bachelorette chosen by Matt Grant on this season's The Bachelor. And Lorenzo's ex-wife Shauna Sand was at this show with their little girl.
