We are Acme Radio Live, an online radio station here in Nashville, Tennessee.

We are Acme Radio Live, the authentic voice of Music City. ARL is an online streaming radio station that operates out of Acme Feed & Seed on 101 Broadway, Nashville, TN. We serve as a discovery platform for local Nashville artists, including all genres of music, and broadcast them worldwide.

Acme Radio honors the past through preservation and fosters the future by showcasing the next generation of rising artists. We celebrate heritage acts while shining a light on up and coming musicians, who are getting by on a day job and a dream. Our content features a mix of carefully curated playlists with an emphasis on local artists, live in-studio sessions, and recorded performances from the Acme Feed & Seed stage and beyond.

Launched in 2019, “Acme Radio Company,” the non-profit sector of our station, honors the music community through charitable donations. One way we achieve this is through special event production with all proceeds benefiting charitable organizations. Past events include Record Store Day and Dancin’ In The District. Charitable partners have included: Music Health Alliance, Just Us at Oasis Center, The Shalom Foundation, and more.

Acme’s Mission Statement

Housed in a national treasure built in 1890, providing a real Nashville experience is reflected in all we do. From the made-from-scratch family recipes, to the local craft beer selection, regionally sourced retail items in the Acme Farm Store, a constant stream of artists that appear on Acme Radio Live and our stage, or the curated country music artifacts that cover the walls, Acme’s mission is to stand for, serve, support, share, and save Nashville’s unique identity.
