The inside story
The Ryman Auditorium stands as a testament to the power of music, bringing people from all walks of life together in Nashville. Known as the "Mother Church of Country Music," the Ryman has hosted some of the biggest names in the genre, like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton.
But the Ryman's history extends far beyond country music. Built in 1892 as a place of worship, the building's soaring ceilings and ornate stained glass windows lend it an air of reverence that's palpable the moment you step inside. Over the years, this musical chapel has expanded its melodic horizons ranging from opera to rock and roll, and its stage has been graced by more legendary performers like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Elvis Presley.
