For Professional Group Travel Planners

Nashville’s connection to music is unequaled, and its reputation as Music City has been consistently proven for over 200 years. From the Honky Tonks to the Opry, stage shows and guitar players on your bus, this deluxe four day is a great overview a chance to see hear and enjoy a little of what happens here every single day.

It was the most important event in the History of Country Music. In 1927 in the mountains of Virginia, a talent scout for the Victor Talking Machine Co spent 8 days making the first ever musical recordings. Known as the ‘Bristol Sessions’ that event has also been called “The Big Bang of Country Music,” bring your group and see Country’s origin at the hallowed Carter Family Fold, and its glory at the Grand Ole Opry.

It’s a very simple recipe. You take two parts Memphis (get your Mojo simmering) . . . then add New Orleans . . . then you combine two parts of the French Quarter (oh my). . . and Baby, you’ve got a dish that’s gonna make your feet start dancin’ on the street.

This sightseeing tour is about listening & learning. It’s about Music & Recording. It’s about the 50’s in Memphis (already Home of the Blues), and Sun Studios giving birth to Rock n’ Roll. It’s about the 1960’s and music studios in Muscle Shoals, AL turning Albums into Gold. Come visit these Studios, cut a group record and learn about producing music.

Just outside the lights of Nashville, Clarksville, TN is the perfect host for a unique music tour. Here in the countryside away for all the noise and the clatter is where Johnny Cash escaped and Loretta Lynn lived. Visit their homes in the daytime then enjoy two evenings of great food and Country Music.

It’s time now to revisit the Great Smoky Mountains in the fall. Dollywood has made a huge addition to their annual fall festival with their “Great Pumpkin LumiNights.” There are hundreds of artistic pumpkin sculptures, in whimsical and delightful scenes throughout the park. Make this the centerpiece of your next fall foliage trip.

What does it take to make it to the Opry lights?  How do you get elected to the Hall of Fame.  “From the Studio to the Stage” is a brand-new experience available this year to groups.  Hear the personal stories from music industry veterans who have ‘made it’ Music city, and get an unfiltered view of the journey from the up-and-comers who put their hearts into their dreams every day.

Beginning with Oklahoma City’s Rodeo Opry you enjoy a great music tour that starts with Cowboy Country, continues to Memphis for a bit of Rock and Roll then drives into Nashville for the latest in American Country Music at the Grand Ole Opry.

When you talk Southern heritage, you’ll hear about pride in the past, the culture, and the history of the south. Chattanooga is filled with Civil War History, a southern  charm and beautiful natural surroundings. There is 10-mile Riverwalk, which winds along the Tennessee River through downtown below the Mountain that Looks out over the city. 

This trip features a three night stay at the newly renovated Read House Hotel.  This celebrated establishment is on the National Register of Historic Places.  Within the tour package you enjoy The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway and the Incline Mountain Railway,  an evening Trolley Tour featuring the city’s legends and folklores, plus Rock City Gardens and Ruby Falls.
