Join Preserve Nashville for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of historic Columbia Studio A and the legendary Quonset Hut with longtime studio historian Mike Porter.

Through historic photographs, firsthand stories, and recordings played inside the very rooms where they were made, discover how this remarkable site became the birthplace of what would later become known as Music Row. Learn about the vision of Owen and Harold Bradley, the evolution of Nashville’s recording industry, and the artists whose recordings helped shape American music.

The tour begins in Columbia Studio A, where Mike will share the history of the property and how this corner of Nashville evolved into the heart of Music Row. Guests will then move into the historic Quonset Hut to hear the stories behind legendary recordings while listening to excerpts of songs recorded in the space by artists including Brenda Lee, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Bob Dylan, Gene Vincent, and many others.

This special experience offers a rare opportunity to stand where music history was made while gaining a deeper appreciation for one of Nashville’s most significant historic places.
