When you put an NHL team in the heart of Nashville, just a short walk from where legends like Hank, Johnny, Loretta, and Dolly cut their teeth at the Mother Church, you can expect music to be a central part of its DNA.
Such was the case in the early days of the Nashville Predators. Stars like Vince Gill, Amy Grant, and Barbara Mandrell were front-and-center in the team’s ad campaigns. Mindy McCready belted the inaugural national anthem. And Tim McGraw lent his voice to one of the league’s most recognizable goal songs.
Little did fans know that deep inside the Predators’ locker room, there was another cluster of musical talent.
