our story

iRockNashville.com is out-of-the-box radio custom-built for Nashville.

We are an independent internet radio station created to spotlight the music that often falls outside the usual Nashville industry boxes. Our station blends familiar rock favorites, alternative classics, current tracks, independent artists, local bands, and unexpected songs that deserve to be heard. You may hear classic rock, modern rock, alternative, indie, folk-rock, Southern rock, pop-rock, punk, metal, acoustic-driven songs, local Nashville artists, and emerging independent acts. And every hour, we play an “out-of-the-box mystery song” that could be rock, could be metal, could be classic, could be pop, could be a deep-cut, could be a remix, could be a mashup, or could be a song you never heard or one you loved but forgot about. This is radio for listeners who still love discovery.
