Grammy Award-winner Shelby Lynne loves playing at the Ryman. She says there is no denying that you are singing in one of the great churches of music when you are in that room.

Nashville's "Mother Church" is the best place for live music bar none.

Grab a balcony seat. The view is great and the sound is full on (like a double rainbow).

Bring your own cushion for the church pews if you must, but the shows are so good you'll spend most of the time on your feet. Historic Nashville showplace filled with friendly ghosts of Christmas past

Best place to see live music! Acoustics are the best in Nashville plus there's not a bad seat in the house. Faves that I've seen here are Keith Urban and the Black Crowes, and I'm looking forward to

I saw Imogen Heap here at the Ryman. Amazing experience. Not a bad seat in the whole building. Eat at one of the many restaurants downtown and see a show here. Makes for an excellent night out. :)

Go to Robert's after the show to let the traffic clear out. Go in the back door to avoid the line. Also, get a cheeseburger. You will thank me later.

After Elvis Presley played the “Grand Ole Opry” here in 1954, one show manager told him “not to quit his day job.” He never appeared on country’s most famous program again. (From Aerial America)

If you have a chance to see ANY music act @ The Ryman, GO FOR IT! There's really not a bad seat in the whole place! An awesome, sacred experience, no matter what act you are seeing!

I saw Lady Antebellum play at The Ryman, I had the best time! Also, get a tour of the place! The history of this building is beyond inspiring.
