Welcome to Upper Middle Tennessee

If you love country, you’ll love Tennessee’s Upper Middle region! Nashville’s country music roots dig deep and there’s no better place to see some of the genre’s best than at a live concert broadcast of The Grand Ole Opry at Ryman Auditorium. See big names and up-and-coming talent in a more intimate setting at The Bluebird Cafe before exploring the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. You’ll still be humming when you drive the Natchez Trace, a scenic byway that starts in Nashville and ends in Mississippi and a fantastic way to see Tennessee’s countryside. If you’d rather have someone else do the driving, visit Nashville Superspeedway in Gladeville for NASCAR thrills. Whether you choose countryside or country music, you’ll have an unforgettable Upper Middle Tennessee time!
