Kim Cameron's Top Six
What makes Nashville special to you? There is an energy when you enter the city that is pretty unique. Not that other cities do not have energy, but Nashville has this confluence of music and art, along with southern charm that just works in every way.
How would you say your hometown differs from Nashville? I grew up outside the Los Angeles basin. There could not be more opposite worlds. There is no sense of a ‘hometown’ feel. You don’t really know a lot of your neighbors, and while I have never lived in Nashville, I have always had the impression that you really hang with your neighbors. That is so important for a community.
Say you had a completely free day in Nashville—no work allowed. What would you be doing?
I performed at a festival years ago in Germantown. I fell in love that all the older homes and corners. I would go back and just explore.
Is there a place you have not ate you have been dying to go? Well, there are many, but two always come to mind; Husk and Biscuit Love. I mean, the names themselves are worth going, right?!
Of course we love your style, any favorite Nashville shops? Posh! Although, I think I need to continue my search (only because I love fashion and love to shop!).
If someone is coming to Nashville for the first time, where do you take them? Musicians Corner, Nashville Rooftop – like the Four Seasons, the Parthenon, and the Farmer’s Market (I am a sucker for Farmer’s Markets in general) – always feels like home.
One Thing About Nashville
How has Nashville influenced your music? I recorded my song 3 Seconds in Nashville. It was my first introduction to the city. And boy, did I learn quickly where all the uber talented people were. It’s almost effortless – the way each musician feeds off each other and continues to grow in front of your eyes. It was a wow factor for me.
Five Favorites
What’s your favorite place to go for ice cream in Nashville? The Baked Bear, although, I try to avoid it because I feel like I will eat the whole ice cream sandwich by myself.
What’s your favorite place for breakfast in Nashville? Copper Branch Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant.
Do you have a favorite music venue? Soho House Nashville!
Favorite place to go on date night? Well, truth be told, I have never had a date in Nashville, but if I did, I would love to go to the Marsh House at the 1 Hotel and then up to the L.A. Jackson for a glass of bubbly.
Best Broadway bar? The Stage…I know everyone knows this place, but it never gets old to me.
