Hosts Beau Carter—a lifelong Boro local and BBQ-loving MTSU alum—and Ellie Rae Dalton—a curious Asheville transplant with a taste for the unexpected—team up to showcase the best places, events, eats, and experiences across Middle Tennessee.
Each episode highlights a mix of Murfreesboro favorites and regional discoveries—from Nolensville dance nights, Franklin coffee shops, Smyrna restaurants, and Mount Juliet concerts, to under-the-radar gems and community happenings across Rutherford, Williamson, Wilson, and Davidson counties.
Whether it’s a buzzy new spot in Murfreesboro or a can’t-miss weekend event anywhere in Middle Tennessee, Beau and Ellie bring humor, heart, and authentic Southern charm to every story.
If it’s worth knowing in Murfreesboro or the surrounding region, it’s on The Boro Beat.
