Music Row is a historic district located southwest of downtown Nashville, Tennessee, United States.

[1] Lacy J. Dalton had a hit song in the 1980s about 16th Avenue, while the area served as namesake to Dolly Parton's 1973 composition "Down on Music Row".

[4] In present years, the district has been marked for extensive historical preservation and local as well as national movements to revive its rich and vibrant history.

[9] Elsewhere, observed Hemphill, Music Row had "a montage of 'For Sale' signs [and] old houses done up with false fronts to look like office buildings.

The strip sat largely vacant for a few years but has been recently redeveloped with a number of upscale restaurants and bars serving the Downtown and Music Row areas.
