Music Row & RCA Studio B
Music Row
The heart of Nashville's music industry, where record labels and recording studios cluster. RCA Studio B recorded more than a thousand hit songs, including those by Elvis.
Music Row is the area along 16th and 17th Avenues South. It is home to record labels, music publishers, and recording studios, and it is where the “Nashville Sound” was born. RCA Studio B opened in 1957, and Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Roy Orbison, and many others recorded more than a thousand hit singles there. The studio is not open to casual visitors. It can only be seen through a combined ticket with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, using a shuttle bus. Most buildings in the district are offices. It's a good area for music fans to stroll and look for record-label signs.
Opening hours
RCA Studio B tour approx. 10:30–14:30
