(NASHVILLE, Tenn. – September 30, 2025) American Troubadours, a film, television, and music company expanding its creative footprint, is uniting Nashville’s creative community with Hollywood’s cinematic reach. Building on the box-office success of Reagan, the company is extending its impact in major motion pictures with upcoming projects such as That’s Amore!, a romantic musical comedy written and directed by Academy Award-winner Nick Vallelonga (Green Book) and starring John Travolta, Katherine Heigl, Christopher Walken, and Dan Aykroyd.
As audiences worldwide embrace music-centered films, American Troubadours is uniquely positioned to bring Nashville’s voice to Hollywood screens. Music-driven films and biopics have grossed more than $7 billion globally in the past decade, with recent hits like Elvis and Bohemian Rhapsody proving the enduring power of music-centered storytelling. Nashville’s music industry alone contributes $5.5 billion annually to the city’s economy, and more than 60% of major film and television productions now feature licensed music from Nashville writers and publishers. With its deep roots in Music City and creative reach into Hollywood, American Troubadours is uniquely positioned to fuel this growing cultural exchange.
Founded and led by award-winning producer and composer Vince Emmett, the company is dedicated to bringing history, music, and culture vividly to life through timeless narratives across film, television, streaming, and digital platforms. From Nashville to New York, Louisville to Los Angeles, or anywhere the company’s vintage 1954 Airstream carries them, the company brings stories to life across film, television, and digital platforms.
Emmett, whose credits include the feature film Reagan (2024), which opened as the top new film over Labor Day weekend 2024, brings more than three decades of experience working with Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe, and Emmy-winning actors and artists.
“I’ve lived and worked with icons inside an industry that thrives on story in song,” said Emmett. “That uniquely qualifies American Troubadours to build a creative home that vividly bridges music and film while honoring the voices of the past and amplifying those of today.”
