Welcome to Music City, the new musical by Billboard Chart-topping songwriter JT Harding, with book by Peter Zinn and directed by Eric Tucker. Follow two young singer-songwriters into the Wicked Tickle, an East Nashville bar that serves up cheap beer, open mics, and dreams of big breaks. The bar regulars bravely pursue love and music in the face of addiction, poverty, and haunting pasts. But in Nashville, heartbreak is the only thing they hand out for free.

The soaring, soul-piercing ballads and hard-hitting, heart-thumping showstoppers including “Smile,” “Sangria,” and “Somewhere In My Car” celebrate contemporary country music while pushing the genre beyond expectations. Music City is an intimate, gritty, and thrilling take on the world of beers, guitars, sawdust, and sunshine.
