NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - For more than two decades Nashville resident Lauren Lucas has rocked stages, churches, and songwriting circles at legendary music venues like The Bluebird Café .

Now, Netflix subscribers around the world are hearing Lucas’ voice in one of its top-rated sitcoms.

" Leanne " stars Tennessee native Leanne Morgan , whose comedy about Jell-O salad, marriage and menopause has launched the long-time married mother and grandmother on a meteoric rise to fame.

Monday night on WSMV4, News4 anchor Tracy Kornet takes us behind the music, where Lauren Lucas is teaching the next generation of songwriters how to write a hit, many of whom have no idea of their college professor’s robust resume.
