A musical mystery at a museum becomes a perfect backdrop for love in Hallmark Mahogany’s brand new movie, A Nashville Legacy. It stars Degrassi: The Next Generation‘s Andrea Lewis and The Game‘s Pooch Hall.
Here’s what you need to know about the film that’s rich in music history, culture and romance.

SYNOPSIS
Naima moves to Nashville (aka Music City) to uncover secrets about an undiscovered music group. Naima, who got her love of music from her late grandmother, moves to Nashville to intern at a prestigious museum, while pursuing a PhD in ethnomusicology. At the museum, she meets Damian, a volunteer and music producer and feels immediate chemistry, but is focused on her work and finding a subject for her dissertation. Luckily, as she is looking into the backstory of some donated items, a beautiful vintage dress leads Naima to uncovering a mystery surrounding a classic hit and the perfect dissertation focus. As Naima and Damian develop a friendship, he works with her to investigate the secret surrounding the dress but they soon find that the truth hits closer to home than either of them realized.

The filming locations for A Nashville Legacy include Birmingham, Alabama and the National Museum of African American Music in Nashville, Tennessee.

American Idol season two winner and R&B superstar, Ruben Studdard, makes a cameo in the movie. So does Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Curt Chambers. Chambers has written and co-written songs for Eminem, Lenny Kravitz, Miguel, Jamie Foxx and Dr. Dre. His own unique sound is a blend of rock, country, soul and hip-hop.
