A Chicago girl went to Nashville to research for Wreck Your Heart. These were her adventures.

Custom shirt of my favorites. Serious face trying to get a selfie with all the names in it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Country Music Hall of Fame. I love a peacock suit. Look up “Nudie suit” or “Manuel suit” to learn more about the fantastic designers who put the sparkle in country music.

 

 

 

Hatch Show Print. I’m a longtime fan of their work, and have many (many) prints in my house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Ryman Auditorium, the “Mother Church” of Country Music.

 

Loretta Lynn’s statue outside. I love a statue of a real woman. They’re more rare than you’d think.

 

 

 

 

Inside the church that country music built.

 

 

Out and about in Nashville.

And to the Opry!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you ever been to Nashville? I’d go again in a heartbeat— and see a LOT of live music this time.
