Nashville Sound Roots Traced To Appalachian Hills
Nashville became the home of country music through a mix of hill folk culture and early shows like the WSM Barn Dance. In the 1940s publishing houses and studios formed, with Acuff Rose leading Nashville publishing, as northern promoters helped build a thriving industry. Today Nashville hosts hundreds of performers, thousands of songwriters, studios, publishers, and a multi million dollar tourist driven music industry.
