Nashville Cast

The Nashville cast consists of actors, singers, and musicians from the ABC series Nashville, which debuted on October 10, 2012. The show follows fictional characters in Nashville's music industry, with their songs being a key element. Big Machine Records released these songs, both covers and originals. In 2014, cast members, excluding Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere, toured before the second-season finale. Participants included Charles Esten, Clare Bowen, Jonathan Jackson, Sam Palladio, Chris Carmack, and Will Chase. The cast released a Christmas album in 2014 and several volumes of The Music of Nashville. After ABC canceled the show in 2016, CMT picked it up. The Music of Nashville: Season 5, Vol. 1 (2017) and subsequent volumes charted well. Season 6, Vol. 1 was released in February 2018, followed by Vol. 2 in July.
