Get to Know Avery
Meet Avery Barkley (played by Jonathan Jackson)
Avery’s a dead sexy East Nashville hipster with tons of talent—and the swagger to match.
He’s been in Music City two years and feels like stardom is long overdue. Avery’s passionate and headstrong, and he writes alt-country songs that the critics will love—if they ever get a chance to hear them.
For now, music means grinding out local gigs and hustling his demos. It’s tough, humbling work, but thankfully he’s got Scarlett at his side. She's a supportive partner, and helps soothe his frustrations with a music business that doesn't yet know it needs him. See Avery's Photo Gallery »
