Music City: A New Musical tells the story of two young singer-songwriters struggling to make their mark in a rundown East Nashville neighborhood ravaged by addiction and poverty. The show follows these characters as they face the harsh realities of their environment, using music as both an escape and a form of expression. Through soulful ballads and heart-pounding anthems, they navigate the difficulty of chasing their dreams in a city where heartbreak is often the only thing handed out for free.

The production features music and lyrics by Billboard-chart-topping country songwriter J.T. Harding, alongside a book by Peter Zinn. Directed by Eric Tucker, this intimate musical challenges the conventional jukebox musical format, offering a gritty, raw portrayal of the Nashville music scene. The show moves away from idealized depictions of country music, instead offering a revelatory, grounded take on the genre and the lives it touches.
