Davy Crockett used the fiddle playing skills he learned in Tennessee to rouse the troops at the Alamo, and President Andrew Jackson rose to prominence from his Nashville roots. Today Nashville, widely know as “Music City”, is a mecca for music industry songwriters, artists, and production and the perfect place to attend a Heritage Festival. Included with the Nashville Heritage Festival is a visit to the largest popular music museum in the world, the Country Music Hall of Fame. Experience America’s music through exhibits, films, interactive displays and instruments. The legendary fun and family friendly Wildhorse Saloon is the site of the awards ceremony, dinner and dance.
