Nashville, like Norleans before the storm, is what it is and so cool it's hot, but may not be a replication of your favorite environment and may or may not be in your comfort zone. Is there a large University in/near Music City? Medium sized cities that aren't known for their cultural progressive character (SF, NY, Seattle,etc.) often have enclaves of hipness near Universities. If you have to relocate, embrace your inner twang.
