Ryman Auditorium Honored

The METRO NASHVILLE CITY COUNCIL will adopt a resolution recognizing the RYMAN AUDITORIUM and its 130 years as MUSIC CITY’s most famous and respected concert venue, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to NASHVILLE each year. The resolution states, “The venue is most famous for being a home for Country music ... Its legacy has been defined by showcasing one of the most expansive lists of diverse performers ranging from Jazz, Pop and Bluegrass to Rock and Roll, Classical, and Hip Hop. From its very beginning, the RYMAN has been a stage to just about every type of music and every type of performer.”  

Since the first concert held on MAY 4th, 1892, the RYMAN has welcomed an array of entertainment acts and all genres of music – from magician HARRY HOUDINI to comic actor CHARLIE CHAPLIN and former President THEODORE ROOSEVELT to civil rights leader MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., plus music icons from all genres including JOHNNY CASH, PATSY CLINE, B.B. KING, SHERYL CROW, GARTH BROOKS, LIZZO and HARRY STYLES, a press release notes.

“The RYMAN is the crown jewel of NASHVILLE, and we are so excited to celebrate 130 years of MUSIC CITY’s most famous concert venue,” said Council Member FREDDIE O’CONNELL. “Whether you are a Country music superstar or an up-and-coming artist, music lover or history buff, out-of-towner or Nashvillian, the RYMAN is for everyone.”
