About this listen

From Indigenous roots to neon-lit honky-tonks, Nashville’s story is one of collision, creativity, and reinvention. In this immersive and emotionally resonant narrative, author Derek Monaghan traces the city’s evolution across ten cinematic chapters—blending historical clarity with human depth.

Explore the founding of Fort Nashborough, the upheaval of the Civil War, and the spiritual power of the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Witness the courage of student activists during the Civil Rights Movement, the rise of Music Row, and the genre-defying pulse of Black artists, hip-hop pioneers, and immigrant voices. From devastating tornadoes to tech-driven transformation, Nashville emerges as a city shaped by resilience and reimagination.

Whether you’re a local, a traveler, or a lover of American history, A Brief History of Nashville offers a panoramic view of a city still finding its voice—layered, luminous, and alive.
