I left New York City for Nashville in 1991. I realized that as a photographer of musicians, I should be in a city based around the music business. I immediately embraced the culture and began making friends who introduced me to more and more people who worked in all fields of the music business. These photos show who I encountered in Nashville during the 90’s.
