NASHVILLE, – For the upcoming January sweeps of ABC TV’s new hit series Nashville, fading country star Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) and rising country ingénue, Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) find themselves on a co-headlining stadium tour.
As Bandit Lites provides concert lighting for some of country music’s biggest stars, including Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, it made sense that the producers of Nashville trusted Bandit Lites to provide the rig used at the Bridgestone Arena for the country rivals’ concert.
Earlier episodes took place at The Grand Ole Opry, country music’s most famous stage, and the historic Ryman Auditorium. Bandit provided both venues with permanent installation systems and fixture packages for their in-house lighting systems.
Viewers will have to wait until the show returns Jan. 9, 2013 to see where the drama leads.
