Music Row
MUSIC ROW
The heart of Nashville's music busi-
ness, Music Row began in 1955, when
Owen Bradley opened the Quonset
Hut, the first recording studio here.
In 1957, Chet Atkins opened RCA's
studio at the corner of 17th and
Hawkins. Other studios, publishing
houses, and record labels including
Columbia, Epic, Decca, Warner Bros,
Capitol, and Curb followed with
offices here. Street names were
changed in 1975 to Music Square
East and West.
