Here's How to Travel Nashville Like a Local

Rolling Stone named Muddy Roots Music Festival, Sept. 1-4, within a list of top tours and festivals in the world for 2016, alongside events like the Stagecoach Festival. This year's lineup includes Del McCoury, Bonnie Prince Billy, and The Melvins. Can't make it to Nashville over Labor Day? Don't fret! Avoid downtown Nashville's honky-tonk tourist traps and find that root-filled, steeped country music at the Nashville Palace, home to Kitty Wells, Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, and more. There the music plays all day, every day. Parking is free and aplenty. And the beer and burgers won't make your wallet cry.
