Tennessee Music Pathways

Tennessee Music Pathways connects visitors to the people, places and genres that make Tennessee the Soundtrack of America. A statewide driving tour, the Pathways represents hundreds of landmarks across the state and spans seven genres of music: blues, bluegrass, country, gospel, soul, rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll. From the largest cities to the smallest communities, Tennessee Music Pathways identifies and preserves the unique musical history throughout all 95 counties of the state. More than 500 possible locations for markers have been identified including birthplaces, resting places, hometowns, high schools, churches and locations of first-known recordings or performances of the musical pioneers and legends influenced and shaped by Tennessee.

Visitors can curate their own path based on musical interests through an interactive online guide at tnmusicpathways.com on tnvacation.com. Follow the conversation on social using #madeintn.

Partners are encouraged to submit musical assets in their counties and communities to potentially qualify for marker placement and inclusion on the Pathway.
