How Does a City Tell Its Story: Nashville
Setup
“Music City” didn’t look to its stars to reboot Nashville’s story; instead it went to its heart and soul – it’s mostly unknown songwriters who have written some of our biggest hits. Can this strategy be a model for other cities to promote civic change and pride? Hear from the people who helped tell the city’s story and see clips from the award-winning film that brings these artists’ stories and their craft to life. Featuring Grammy-nominated songwriter Jessi Alexander who walks us through her songwriting process and gives a special performance.
