Look for me in Episode 16 of ABC's hit series "Nashville" - most likely to air on Wednesday, March 13th at 9pm Central. (Airdate is looking like April 3rd - "I Saw The Light" - Stay tuned!) Can you believe it?
You can read Part One here!
It was time. They needed me on the set. I walked down my little stairs and they pointed me to the awaiting van that would escort me to the set, a real life music venue just down the street called The 5 Spot.
The next three hours were filled with controlled chaos. I was determined to soak it all in, not knowing if I’d ever have this kind of opportunity again. Crew guys were running all over the place setting up lighting and cameras, and arranging the tables and chairs for the scene we were about to shoot. People were continually coming up to me and introducing themselves. I learned who to listen to, and where to go when I wasn’t filming. (They had the Director’s chairs set up to the side. One had the star’s name on it, and mine simply said “Cast.”)
The scene was going to be a dialogue between me and Jonathan Jackson, the famous actor who plays Avery on the show. He would enter The 5 Spot and walk over to me (sitting at the bar doing some paperwork) and try to convince me to let him play his music at my venue.
Jonathan arrived without any hoopla or fanfare. All business here. We shook hands, and the director explained the scene to us, what she was hoping to see. Then we rehearsed it a couple times, and then he left to go change clothes.
