In business now for nearly 20 years, 2024 was our busiest and 2025 has been even more so. Keep an eye on our FB page!We are also in the process of adding new talent to make this roster of musicians and singers our best ever.
Our clients have many exciting single, album and performance projects in the works we’ll be posting about periodically.
Not only is Nashville Trax thriving, Nashville is too! Down on Broadway, with Luke Combs backing, The Wild Horse Saloon is being refurbished to become a multi-floor dance club holding over 3,000 people. Meanwhile, with over 100 people per day moving to Nashville, the housing market here is expected to experience another great year throughout the entire greater Nashville area on into 2026!
As the entire shopping mall concept has been failing with many malls closing around the country, Opry Mills Mall here in Nashville is going strong. Already the largest retail space in the area, OMM is experiencing their biggest year in 2025. Shop or just walk through, you’ll be glad you added it to your trip here!
And….drum roll please!…According to Statistica, country music has surpassed pop on the most popular genres list, at 42% and 40% respectively. It looks like everything is pointing to a banner year here in Nashville and at Nashville Trax!

Say what?
Where?
The San Jose Tourism Bureau has officially replaced the song used to promote the city for the last 43 years, Dionne Warwick’s “Do You Know The Way To San Jose,” with Grace’s original, San Jose. San Jose was produced, mixed and mastered here at Nashville Trax, and is the track used in the City of San Jose’s vids posted here.
The third time recording here was the charm that landed New Zealander Grace Kelly major kudos, a lifetime coolness brag, and possible lifetime royalties from the use of her song by the San Jose Tourism Team. She also landed a show with Blake Shelton and has a major rap producer wanting the stems from her song for a rap remix!
San Jose credits:
Drums: Jim Riley (of Rascal Flatts)

The Greatest Gift Wins NCMAI Gospel Album of the Year, Produced at Nashville Trax
Posted: April 3, 2019 Filed under: Client News, Music Industry News Leave a comment
3-3-23 Update: It’s been a few years but The Greatest Gift is back in recording mode and sent Nashville Trax Producer, Bill Watson, the first two songs to start a new album.
Gospel music trio, The Greatest Gift. won the Gospel Album of the Year at the North American Country Music Association International 2019 competition on March 19th, with Bill Watson of Nashville Trax, who produced their “Closer than Ever” album music and sound tracks.
“We give all of the glory to God for giving us our talents and opportunities to praise Him,” they proclaimed.
Watson, who traveled from Nashville to Pigeon Forge, TN to witness the fruits of his labor, was impressed, “It made sense for the Greatest Gift projects to work remotely,” he explained. “Wayne e-mailed me piano/vocal roughs, I created the charts and arrangements, cut the music tracks, then they added their vocals and mixed on their end with me overseeing the final product.”
“After producing several albums,” Watson continued, “not only did we finally meet for the first time, I got to see them perform as well, utilizing some of the tracks we cut in Nashville. It was a kick!”
The Greatest Gift landed several other awards as well:
New Gospel Adult Vocal Group of the Year
Gospel Video of the Year
Wayne Patterson:
New Gospel Songwriter of the year for “Walk with Me”
New Gospel Male Adult Vocalist of the year
Most Promising New Gospel Male Adult Entertainer
Mike Biasin:
Traditional Gospel Adult Instrumentalist of the Year
Krys Smith:
Traditional Gospel Female Adult Vocalist Horizon Award
Traditional Gospel Female Adult Entertainer Horizon Award
Vocals and mixing for their album were done by Bob Catalano of Bobcat Studios.

Nashville Trax Produced Jingle Airing to Millions Daily!
Posted: October 31, 2018 Filed under: Client News, Client News, Music Industry News, Nashville Session Musicians, Testimonials | Tags: Ellen K Show, Jenee Fleenor, The Swansons, Thought of the Day Leave a commentTune in to the nationally syndicated Ellen K Show on KOST 103.5, Los Angeles, CA to hear The Swansons’ jingle opener for Ellen’s Thought of the Day segment. It was produced here at Nashville Trax and will play every morning moving forward until it wears out.
“I finished getting Jenee’s tracks on the project about 2 p.m. on Sept. 25th,” explains producer, Bill Watson.
“I wanted The Swansons songwriter, Joe, to hear how well it turned out. They had already supplied me with their vocal tracks so I did a quick mix, applied a little mastering, and Dropboxed it,” Watson continues, “As luck would have it Joe and Angie were still in a meeting at the radio station when they downloaded. The Program Director flipped over it and scheduled it daily starting the next morning, on the 26th.”
Jenee Fleenor of Blake Shelton’s band, a regular on NBC’s, The Voice, and fiddlist on several Billboard #1 country hits, figuring out her part on “Thought of the Day”.
“No way would I have thought the tracks we were cutting Tuesday would be heard on radio by millions of people within less than 24 hours, it’s crazy. God is good.”
