Be inspired by the deep history of a Nashville institution, Ryman Auditorium, when you read this book. Built in 1892, thousands of artists have performed at the Ryman, a tradition that carries on to this day after Emmylou Harris led the charge to save the historic venue in 1994. The Ryman is more than just a Nashville landmark. It is one of the most active and celebrated venues in modern music. From Elvis to Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash to Wu-Tang Clan, Paul Simon to Tom Petty, B.B. King to Kings of Leon, the Ryman is a source of inspiration where legendary moments are still in the making — more than a century after it was built.
