Lunch and Learn: The Nashville Musical History Tour: Traveling Beyond Music

Everybody who lives in Nashville knows at least a handful of legendary stories from the city’s rich musical legacy. Where they happened, though, that’s another matter. Music historian and journalist Brian Mansfield, who runs the Nashville Musical History Tour Facebook page, will lead a virtual tour of Music City, sharing many of these stories, along with the exact locations where they took place. From the secret history of Nashville’s parking lots to remarkable tales from unexceptional houses, this presentation could change the way you see places you pass by every day.
A Nashville native, Brian Mansfield is a nationally recognized music journalist and historian who currently serves as managing editor for Country Insider, a daily email newsletter for the country radio industry. Additionally, he operates the Nashville Musical History Tour Facebook page, re-telling the stories of Nashville music through the locations at which the events took place.
Mansfield spent 18 years as USA Today’s Nashville correspondent and has written for publications including Variety, The Tennessean, and the Nashville Scene. A graduate of Boston’s Berklee College of Music who also attended Nashville’s Belmont University, Mansfield is a former President of Historic Nashville, Inc., and formerly served on the board of directors for the Country Music Association.
