From its very beginnings, Nashville grew from a
foundation built on music. Music has been the common
thread connecting the life and soul of the city and its
people. Visitors come here to experience the music that
weaves such a fundamental pattern in its cultural, business, and social fabric.
COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME (Museum)
The world’s largest popular music museum. Current
exhibits features: Blake Shelton; Dierks Bentley; Dylan, Cash & Nashville Cats; The cosmic genius of
Sam Phillips; and Guitars from Bachman-Gretsch
Collection
Since the 1800s, Nashville has been the national center
for music publishing, and its Ryman Auditorium has
hosted so many high profile musical events, from the
opera of Enrico Caruso and the classical music of the
Vienna Orchestra to the rousing John Phillip Sousa, that
it was dubbed the “Carnegie Hall of the South”. It was
also the original home of the Grand Ole Opry.

Though the Grand Ole Opry has moved to the outskirts,
Downtown Nashville still remains a vital music scene
filled with honky tonks, where emerging artists develop
their talents. In addition, the Ryman Auditorium will be
hosting its Bluegrass Nights on July 14, and events take
place at the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum.
