About Nashville TN

Nashville is the capital of the U.S. state of Tennessee, and it’s home to Vanderbilt University. Often referred to as the capital of country music, the city has multiple country music venues.

The Downtown District features honky-tonks with live music and the Johnny Cash Museum, which celebrates the singer's life.

Nashville Economy

As of 2018, Nashville had the 4^th strongest economy in the nation, according to a Policom report. It’s a major music recording and production center. Three of the largest record labels have offices in Nashville, and it has been the headquarters of guitar company Gibson since 1984. Although Nashville is renowned as a music recording center and tourist destination, its largest industry is actually health care. Nashville is home to more than 300 health care companies, including Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), which is the largest private hospital operator in the world. In 2012 it was estimated the health care industry contributed US$30 billion per year and 200,000 jobs to the Nashville-area economy.
