Rayna Jaymes, the queen of country music, is on the decline. Sales of their albums and concert tickets are declining. In order to appeal to new groups of buyers, her record company wants to send her on tour as the opening act for the up-and-coming new teen sensation Juliette Barnes. But the young rival not only behaves very snippy, she also gets close to Rayna's bandleader and ex-lover Deacon and tries to poach him. Meanwhile, Deacon's talented niece Scarlett also dreams of a career in Nashville together with duet partner Gunnar. But her boyfriend Avery, himself an ambitious musician, is not happy with the sudden interest in Scarlett. The musical drama about the stronghold of the US country scene, which strives for authenticity, was conceived by Oscar author Callie Thouri as a primetime soap. Filming takes place in Nashville at original locations. For example, some series characters regularly appear in the legendary Bluebird Cafe. Three to seven songs are performed per episode, which will be released on iTunes in the USA in a timely manner. In addition to cover versions, there are also original songs to be heard, which have been specially contributed to the series by prominent songwriters such as Lucinda Williams and Elvis Costello.
