The Belfast gig is booked into the<strong> SSE arena<\/strong> for <strong>Tuesday 24th April<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Nashville not only changed the lives of everyone who has ever worked on the show, but it also helped change the city itself. And it will forever be part of its musical legacy.<\/p>\n<p>The series continues to play a major part in why the city is the boom town it has become (The population expansion is starting to\u00a0cool\u00a0after 2017 Census data showed that 100 people were moving to Nashville a day.).<\/p>\n<p>Since the show\u2019s launch in 2012, it not employed several workers in the local entertainment industry, it served as a platform for many emerging artists like a rising Kacey Musgraves. Before\u00a0<em>Same Trailer, Different Park<\/em>\u00a0debuted in 2013, Hayden Panettiere\u2019s Juliette Barnes was recording Musgraves\u2019 original co-write \u201cUndermine\u201d with Charles Esten\u2019s Deacon Claybourne in the studio.<\/p>\n<p>Before\u00a0<em>Nashville<\/em>\u00a0premiered, there was always a line to get in to see a show at the Bluebird Caf\u00e9. But six seasons into the drama, it\u2019s almost impossible to get a seat for any show at the musically sacred place. The Green Hills neighborhood where it\u2019s located barely resembles what it was before the show began.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nashville<\/em>\u00a0also changed the lives of its talented actors. Esten\u00a0announced\u00a0in December he has decided to make the city his forever home as he continues to focus on his music career. Chris Carmack\u2019s (Will Lexington) Nashville life led him meeting his\u00a0wife, instrumentalist Erin Slayer, and their daughter turns two in August. Clare Bowen married singer-songwriter Brandon Robert Young in Nashville in October. And if the show never happened, Cassadee Pope and Sam Palladio (Gunnar Scott) probably wouldn\u2019t be a\u00a0new couple.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BeV5R7LDBrS\/\" data-instgrm-version=\"8\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC\/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5\/P8\/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo\/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI\/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf\/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BeV5R7LDBrS\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\">Just because we love all our #NASHIES, you can get your tickets early for our just-released Dublin and Belfast dates now!

I am at a loss of words honestly so forgive me if I\u2019m speaking backwards and inside out right now, but from the depths of my being, thank you. thank you to Callie for picking me and Maisy off of our couch in 2012 completely clueless and oblivious to the world you were about to show us. Never would I have considered acting if it wasn\u2019t for this show, I was so dead set on making music I didn\u2019t even think for one second about doing or being anything else, and here I am now with such a passion for acting and this world of TV and movie making. thank you to the entire cast and crew for inspiring me, moving me, every day. how lucky was I to be surrounded by the purest, most solid human beings on the planet from the youngest age. and how lucky i am to have my sister right in it all with me. soaking it all in. thank you guys for making this everything it was, everything it is. how special to have my sister and I\u2019s childhood documented. so glad every awkward stage has been captured for the world to see \ud83d\ude09 kidding, but actually not at all&#8230; DO NOT go back to season 1 please and if you do, do me a solid and don\u2019t show me pictures.
