Featured episodes put the spotlight on a star-studded roster of entertainers from across the pop culture spectrum, with appearances from Country music standouts Brad Paisley, Kip Moore, Vince Gill, and Brantley Gilbert, as well as rap legend Wyclef Jean, actress Ming-Na Wen, and TV personality Katie Couric, among others. The marathon also includes Dan Rather’s visit to the set of Nashville on The Big Interview, where he joins Britton and Esten for a candid conversation covering the series’ grounded approach, authentic characters, signature blend of music and drama, and so much more.
As part of the event, AXS TV presents new exclusive interviews with cast members Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson, and Sam Palladio.

They also provide insight into their favorite moments and musical performances from the show, as well as their favorite seasons, the bonds they built during their time working together, and how the series has changed their lives.
From unforgettable performances with legends such as Vince Gill and Elton John, to realizing a dream of working with T Bone Burnett, forming a lasting family with their costars, and being able to live out their passion for music on the stage and screen – no stone is left unturned, as Bowen, Esten, Jackson, and Palladio take Nashville fans on the ultimate tour through one of television’s most popular music dramas.
