Nashville is a town of musicians of all stripes and many talents, some of whom simply go where the music takes them, stubbornly rejecting the notion they must belong to a single genre. One fine spring day in 2013 this led four well known musicians and one budding noisemaker, all fierce proponents of improv, to assemble at the home of producer Ed Pettersen to record the debut album of Nashville Electric. Their trusted administrative sidekick determined that the only trademarked use of the name was associated with the local electric company, and despite the electric nature of their instruments was not likely to cause people to send checks to the wrong address. Thus debuted Nashville Electric.
