Carrie Cunningham's Top Six
What makes Nashville special to you? When I started coming to Nashville in 2001, it always felt like home. The atmosphere and the hospitality are amazing. Most under-rated thing about Nashville? I think the jazz scene! How would you say your hometown differs from Nashville? I have lived in a few places long enough to call each of them my hometown, but none of them made me feel like I belong like Nashville does. The only place that comes close to it is my place of birth – Chadron, Nebraska - only because of its small town feel and all the memories as a child. If I could bottle up how Chadron and Nashville make me feel, I would be accused of always being high! Haha! Say you had a completely free day in Nashville—no work allowed. What would you be doing?
I would be at the Montgomery Bell State Park hiking or fishing and canoeing in the Harpeth River. Is there a place you haven't ate you have been dying to go? The Sutler Saloon is a place I've never been to and I plan on going eventually. If someone is coming to Nashville for the first time, where do you take them? Oh geez…Well I would take them to a soccer game. Then Loveless Café and Bell Meade Mansion. I’d take them down where Music Row used to be and talk about the changes. Lower Broadway on a Tuesday night, as well.
One Thing About Nashville
How has Nashville influenced your music? The biggest thing about Nashville is the ability to hear original, covers, bluegrass, jazz, rock everything. I love being able to go into a venue and know the music is going to be great and also set the bar on my own level of writing. I don’t always get that feeling of “man, I wish I wrote that song” anywhere else but here.
