This Is Nashville

'Lo Fi' by Liz Riggs takes readers to the time before new Nashville

Listen Later

Dubbed the "High Fidelity" for millennials, the book paints a picture of Nashville before it became "It City" — before the bachelorettes moved in, before Lower Broad was owned by country stars and before most major bands added Music City as a tour stop. "Lo Fi" takes us back to a time when Nashville felt like it was by residents and for residents.

Today, we interview author Liz Riggs about the book, her inspirations, and her Nashville. Also joining us for today's music-filled episode will be Mike “Grimey” Grimes and WNXP's Emily Young.

Today's Guests:

  • Liz Riggs | Author, Lo Fi
  • Mike Grimes | Owner/operator of Grimey's New & Preloved Music and The Basement venues
  • Emily Young | WNXP Events and Promotions director


  • Jude Mason | Guest Host

    Today's show was produced by Jude Mason.
