Before it was neon-lit and pedal-tavern-packed, Nashville’s Broadway was a gritty stretch of honky-tonks and hopefuls chasing a dream. In this episode of Drop Me Off in Nashville, we explore the transformation of Lower Broadway — from legendary country music launching pad to bachelorette party central. The honkytonk God-Father Steve Smith, and who’s profiting, who’s getting pushed out, and what does it mean for the soul of Music City? From the influence of Bridgestone Arena to the rise of barroom cover bands, we unpack the boom, the backlash, and the local voices caught in the middle of it all.
