"The show has been an enormously successful promotional tool for our city, which is why the State of Tennessee and Metro Nashville were prepared to support production for a fifth season to be filmed...

Starting out, "I had a rough time in Nashville," Church told the thousands who'd packed Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, "and I played the game where, if I get told 'no' one more time, I'm outta here." That "one more time" came during a meeting with a publishing rep, who listened to Church play "maybe half a song" and bluntly told him, "I don't know where...
