    Honoring a Legacy

    The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is dedicated to preserving the vibrant history of Jefferson Street’s legendary music scene. Lorenzo Washington’s passion for music was evident throughout his life, from opening Soul Shack Records and Boutique in the 1970s to collaborating with industry greats like Moses Dillard and Jesse Boyce on the 1976 hit “Come on Dance” by the Saturday Night Band. His vision became reality through the museum, which serves as a living tribute to Nashville’s Black music community.
