We Are Nashville

Bryson R. Finney

We Are Nashville the book was written to inspire a sense of belonging, love, and unity for the communities of Nashville, TN. Originally written as a musical work commissioned for a local music festival (We Are Nashville Festival), this lyrical message has been performed by many ensembles and organizations in Middle TN including the Nashville Symphony. The words are descriptive, with literary imagery representing many of the iconic landmarks seen throughout the city. I encourage you to not only read, but also download or stream the song "We Are Nashville", and sing along with the text enjoying the musical journey to Nashville's Music Row.


The Song:

We Are Nashville the song (Bryson Finney and Christopher Blackmon) was originally written as a musical work commissioned for a local Music

Festival. This piece has been performed by the Nashville Symphony, received a 2021 regional Emmy for its video performance in 2020, and is

enjoyed annually by K-12 music ensembles throughout Middle TN.
