Tennessee: The Heart of Country

There are many reasons people move to Tennessee, and country music is right up there at the top of the list. Nashville's nickname is Music City, and it's known throughout the world as the cradle of country music. Living in Nashville means being at the heart of this vibrant scene.

The character of Nashville also extends into many suburbs that share its musical heritage. Brentwood movers and Franklin movers will enjoy a rich backdrop of attractions, and will share hometowns with many well-known country music stars of today and yesteryear.
