Jonathan Jackson, who plays Avery on ABC’s Nashville, has become a big fan of the city of Nashville while spending time there filming the show. He can’t really name one favorite thing about the city because he says, “There’s so many amazing things about Nashville. It’s really hard to say, I mean, the people here are great and I guess it’s just probably the music history.”

Jonathan loves being able to check out some of the famous venues in Nashville. He says, “Seeing some shows at The Ryman has been amazing and then getting to perform at The Ryman and at The Grand Ole Opry, at the Bluebird Café’, that’s been really special and just meeting a lot of the friends that we’ve met here has been really amazing.”

Nashville just returned with new episodes last Wednesday. You can watch every week at 10p/9p CT on ABC.
