“The 82-minute film explores how Nashville became home to the world’s most vibrant and successful songwriting community — their creative process, their inspiration, their struggles and the impact their songs can have on everyday life,” wrote the Tennessee Star. 

Presented by Nashville Convention and Visitor’s Corporation and VML, IT ALL BEGINS WITH A SONG is derived from 100 hours of interviews with Nashville artists, including Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, Kacey Musgraves, and world-famous songwriters: Jessi Alexander, Mac Davis, Mikky Ekko and Claude Kelly.

Their melodies stick in our head. Their words hook into our soul. Their creations become the soundtrack of our lives. Yet few of us know their names.
