There's no hotter market than Nashville, or as I like to call it, #Nashvegas. By that measure, Nashville is red hot. Compare to the market to Atlanta, where great rooms can be found from $110 to $140, and it's clear that Nashville is booming. Why is Nashville so hot? Add it all up, and employers have been flocking to Nashville for the last 10-15 years. For instance, it takes a salary of $70,150 to live comfortably in Nashville today, according to the study.

I had been a jazz artist in the Nashville area for 11 years when I released my second album, A Million Kisses. Pay attention to your yearnings. When I was about to turn forty I started thinking about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I had been a stay at home mom for ten years at the time and was starting to feel the itch of getting back to my musical roots. I had begun pursuing a music career out of college but when the babies came, I chose to stay home with them.
