Nashville is also home to Third Man Records, a recording studio launched by Jack White of the White Stripes. You can record your own song and have it created on vinyl within a few minutes!

Be sure to check out some live music in downtown Nashville, you never know what up-and-coming singers and songwriters you might see. Artists like Willie Nelson, Shania Twain, Lady Antebellum and Kings of Leon got their start in Nashville.
