the Nashville Symphony!

ith a growing list of GRAMMY® Awards and internationally distributed recordings, the Nashville Symphony has earned a reputation as one of America’s most exciting orchestras. These 84 amazing musicians don’t just play Beethoven and Mozart — which they do with skill and passion — they’re also adaptable enough to play with contemporary artists of all genres.

A look at the Symphony’s concert calendar offers proof. From classics like Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition to star performers like Sheryl Crow, this orchestra really does it all. Below are some of the highlights of the Nashville Symphony’s schedule at Schermerhorn Symphony Center, a breathtaking concert hall right in downtown Nashville that every music fan should experience firsthand:

The Irish Tenors, March 17-19 The world’s leading Irish vocal trio performs such beloved tunes as “Danny Boy,”“Whiskey in the Jar” and “Fields of Athenry,” along with modern-day classics like “My Heart Will Go On” for a very special St. Patrick’s celebration.

For more information and to buy tickets, visit NashvilleSymphony.org.

Mozart’s Requiem, January 7 -9 A rare opportunity to enjoy Mozart’s brilliant final masterpiece with full orchestra and chorus. This work was immortalized in the movie Amadeus. Hear it brought brilliantly to life in a tailor-made setting.

Cirque de la Symphonie, January 14-16 Some of the world’s greatest cirque performers team with the Symphony to deliver a concert unlike any other. You’ll be awed as contortionists, aerial flyers, strongmen, acrobats and more perform dazzling feats on — and above — the stage.

The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses – Master Quest, January 21-22 Relive all the excitement and adventure of The Legend of Zelda in this multimedia spectacle, featuring 28 years of music from Nintendo’s video game series performed live with video projections.

Diana Ross, February 2-3 The Motown legend takes center stage to deliver chart-topping hits such as “Stop! In the Name of Love,”“You Can’t Hurry Love,”“You Keep Me Hangin’ On,”“Where Did Our Love Go,”“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and, of course, “I Hear a Symphony.”

Willie Nelson & Family, February 11 & 12 Two nights of unforgettable music: “Always on my Mind,”“Crazy,” “On the Road Again,”“Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,”“Whiskey River,” “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys,” and more. Presented without orchestra.

Valentine’s with Sheryl Crow, February 13-14 The nine-time GRAMMY® winner Sheryl Crow in a very special two-night Valentine’s engagement, featuring irresistible songs like “All I Wanna Do,”“Strong Enough,”“If It Makes You Happy,”“Every Day Is a Winding Road,”“Soak Up the Sun,” and more.

Pictures at an Exhibition, February 18-20 Two unforgettable classics in one night: Mussorgsky’s kaleidoscopic and colorful Pictures at an Exhibition, and Beethoven’s lyrical Piano Concerto No. 4.

The Music of the Eagles, February 25-27 “Take it to the Limit” as the orchestra joins a full rock band to pay tribute to hits including “Hotel California,”“Best of My Love,”“New Kid in Town,”“One of These Nights,”“Lyin’ Eyes,”“Heartache Tonight” and more.

Country Music Hall of Fame® & Museum

C

ountry music superstar Keith Urban is the subject of a career-spanning exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum, which follows the multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM Award winner’s path to Nashville, where he’s become not only one of country music’s bestloved ambassadors, but one of the world’s most-respected musicians.

Urban’s road to success has been paved with 19 #1 songs across multiple country music charts, including his most recent “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16”; more than 20 million albums sold; Grammy, CMA and ACM award wins; a reputation as one of the best live performers in any musical genre; and membership in the Grand Ole Opry. He possesses a historic streak of 34 Top Ten songs and is the only male country artist to debut simultaneously atop the allgenre album charts in the U.S., Canada and Australia.

“I developed a love for country music at a very young age. I recall

12

getaway nashville and middle tennessee

seeing artists like Johnny Cash on stage and thinking ‘that’s what I want to do,’” said Urban. “It’s truly amazing to have my life’s journey on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.”

Keith Urban So Far… chronicles Urban’s life from childhood and his early musical influences to his hardwon rise to fame and present day success. The exhibition represents this journey with a wide array of historic and priceless memorabilia from Urban’s collection, including artifacts from his childhood such as an embroidered western shirt and pants worn

by Urban at age ten and photos and documents from Urban’s childhood scrapbooks. Original handwritten song manuscripts and many of Urban’s most cherished guitars are featured, including his 1989 Fender Custom Shop 40th Anniversary Telecaster “Clarence,” which was his primary guitar for many years; an exact duplicate Urban had made of the cherry red 1981 Fender Stratocaster that

was his main guitar in his teens and early twenties; and the Levinson Blade electric guitar played by Urban on his first #1 hit, “But for the Grace of God.” Stage clothes worn by Urban at concerts and award shows are included in the exhibition, along with his 2000 ACM Top New Male Vocalist trophy; 2004 CMA Male Vocalist of the Year trophy; four Grammys for Best Male Country Vocal, for “You’ll Think of Me,” “Stupid Boy,” “Sweet Thing,” and “’Til Summer Comes Around”; and his 2011 Grand Ole Opry Induction trophy.

The exhibit examines Urban’s exceptional talents as an entertainer,

musician and songwriter, attributes that have sustained him for his entire life.

In addition, the exhibit examines his passionate commitment to charitable causes including music education and the arts. Keith Urban So Far… runs through May, 2016.

Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers

L

Celebrating 60 years in 2015

arry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers have been dazzling audiences for 60 years. It all began in 1955, when Larry was six, Steve was four, and Rudy was two. Since those days, the road that the trio has plowed has taken them to concert stages all over the world, and has seen their records top the charts and touch the lives of fans from eight to eighty.

Larry says of their 60th Anniversary Tour, “We’re not calling it a farewell or a final tour. We’re calling it the 60th Anniversary Celebration. By no means are we retiring, but after this tour, we are going to slow down a little bit.

As Larry says, “There are other priorities in life. I have two granddaughters.

Brother Steve has seven grandchildren and Rudy has two kids. We still love the fans and the road and we still love to sing but we want to spend more quality time with our families.”

After performing together as children, Larry went off to college – studying law at the University of Houston. In 1971, he auditioned for the legendary Imperials, Elvis’ backup group. He didn’t get the job, but he met Dottie West, who was the opening act for the legendary Jimmy Dean, who would become one of Larry’s oldest and best friends. Dottie was initially taken with Larry’s resemblance to Nashville songwriter Mickey Newbury.

Dottie told him one night in her backstage dressing room at the Landmark Hotel in Las Vegas, “Larry, you look so much like Mickey Newbury, you’ve just got to be able to write great songs.” After the gig in Vegas, Larry went home to Houston, wrote eight songs, sent them to Dottie, and she sent him a plane ticket to Nashville.

Through Dottie, Larry met Kris Kristofferson, who became a champion of Gatlin’s talent as a writer and singer. Kristofferson introduced Larry to Fred Foster at Monument Records which resulted in a contract with the record label. His first album, The Pilgrim, was released later that year. Johnny Cash, wrote the liner 14

getaway nashville and middle tennessee

notes for his first album, and dubbed him “The Pilgrim,” which is what he called Larry until the day he died. Steve and Rudy moved to Nashville in 1975 and teamed up with brother Larry to form Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers. By 1976, the Gatlin Brothers were in the fast lane, thanks to the chart-topping success of the Grammy-winning “Broken Lady.” The hits continued throughout the rest of the decade, with seven more number one songs: “I Don’t Wanna Cry,” “I Just Wish You Were Someone I Love,” “Statues Without Hearts,” “Love Is Just A Game,” “All The Gold in California,” “Houston (Means I’m One Day Closer To You)” and “Night Time Magic.”

In addition to being inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, the trio was nominated for awards by the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music and the Music City News Awards, among others.

“We won some of ‘em too,” says Larry.

Today, we sound just like we did 40 years ago.... pretty dad burn good. We’re not being run out of the business. We’re not down to bread and milk money. We just think it’s time to do some other things, slow down a little bit, and do it with class and dignity – on our own terms. We are grateful to God for our fabulous run and we can’t wait to see what else He has in store.”

In addition to the tour, the brothers will soon release a new Gospel album on Curb Records, titled, Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers 60th Anniversary Celebration. Larry says, “We were going to call the album, The Gospel According to Gatlin because some of the new songs are a little edgy, a little bit different. And speaking of edgy, Larry says, “Steve and Rudy and I didn’t get where we are by playing it safe. We have always pushed the envelope, we have always crossed borders others were afraid to cross and we’re not going to stop now... and that is the Gospel According to Gatlin.”

S

This February

ongstress Lorrie Morgan has sold over six million records including fourteen top ten hits, twelve recorded albums and four Female Vocalist of the Year awards.

She made her mark with what have now become timeless country standards, “Five Minutes,” “Something In Red,” “Watch Me” and “What Part Of No,” to establish her place as a country star—a modern woman making country music history. This February, she’s back with soulful, reflective new music on her latest album release, Letting Go… Slow, released by Shanachie Entertainment, available in stores nationwide and everywhere digital music is sold on February 12.

Loretta Lynn Morgan was born to make music. At 13, she made her first and everlasting impression on the country music world when she played at The Grand Ole Opry, making her one of the youngest to have made his/her debut at the Mother Church of Country Music. Three short years later, after her dad, country music

star George Morgan’s, passing, Lorrie launched her own career touring with her father’s band. She made history of her own when she became a lifetime member of the Grand Ole Opry at the age of twenty-four, the youngest person ever to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

A Nashville, Tennessee native, Lorrie landed her first recording contract in 1988 and in 1990 had her first number one single, “Five Minutes.” Morgan’s second album, Something in Red, was released in 1991 and became RIAA-Certified Platinum®. Watch Me, her third album, was released in 1992 and contained the number-one single, “What Part of No.” Watch Me also sold over 1 million copies, making Morgan the first female country artist to have three albums in a row to be RIAA-Certified Platinum®. In 1994 she was voted “Female Vocalist of the Year” by country music fans at TNN›s Music City News Awards. She would earn this honor again in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Morgan›s Greatest Hits album, which produced her

third number-one single, “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength”, was released in 1995.

Lorrie’s success is defined by her love of a great song and ability to sell it. Over the past two decades, as musical trends came and went, Lorrie has remained true to herself.

Goo Goo Cluster In 1912, in a copper kettle at the Standard Candy Company at Clark & First Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee, the first combination candy bar was invented.

A roundish mound of luscious caramel, creamy marshmallow nougat and fresh roasted peanuts all covered in real milk chocolate, the Goo Goo Cluster has been delighting Nashvillians and visitors to Music City ever since.

Goo Goo Clusters were originally hand dipped and sold without wrappers under glass at drug store candy counters. With the dawn of hand wrapping, a team of ladies was responsible for swaddling the Goo Goo Clusters in tin foil before they were sold.

Eventually, machinery was put in place to automate wrapping the candy. Today, the process is so streamlined that Standard Candy Company in Nashville can produce 20,000 clusters in one hour!

In the years since the birth of the Original Goo Goo Cluster, the company has introduced two new flavors to their product line: the Supreme, which replaces peanuts with pecans, and the Peanut Butter, a peanut butter center sprinkled with crunchy peanuts then covered in real milk chocolate.

Another exciting addition to the brand’s offerings was added last year, a flagship retail store, the Goo Goo Shop. Located in the SoBro area of downtown Nashville, the Goo Goo Shop is no ordinary retail store. Visitors have the opportunity to take a walk through history as they peruse a 100+ year timeline complete with artifacts from the Goo Goo archives, plus feast their eyes upon Premium Goo Goos being made by hand in a glassedencased confectionery kitchen.

Sold exclusively at the Goo Goo Shop, Premium Goo Goos are a 4-ounce gourmet confection with a wide variety of inclusions.

The Premium menu rotates periodically and new, unique flavors are introduced on a regular basis, with four to six options available on any given day.

In late 2015, the company unveiled yet another sweet offering: the Goo Goo Shop Dessert Bar! Housed within the Goo Goo Shop, the Dessert Bar serves up all sorts of yummy treats, coffee and sodas. From pies to sundaes to milkshakes, there is a little something for everyone.

For more information on Goo Goo Cluster and the Goo Goo Shop, visit www.googoo.com.

JUST LIKE NASHVILLE.

ONE TASTE AND

YOU’RE HOOKED. Whether it’s our original clusters, premium Goo Goo’s, merchandise or the best desserts around, you’ll find every way under the sun to get your Goo Goo at the Goo Goo Shop.

White Lightning, Southern Hospitality, and George Jones

G

eorge Jones Museum offers something for everyone

Less than six months after it first opened the doors, the George Jones Museum has quickly established itself as the go-to place for visitors and locals alike. With more than 40,000 square feet of space spread over three floors, the entertainment complex provides visitors with respite from summer heat, a great place to grab an early breakfast or a late dinner, and award-winning spirits from the White Lightning Moonshine bar.

Your visit starts on the first floor, where vista windows at both ends of the facility provide visitors with two views of Nashville. On the 2nd Avenue side, visitors can take in the sounds of live music while sipping on signature cocktails in the bar, which overlooks the historic street through large, open-air windows. If you enjoy that cocktail, make sure to pick up a bottle or three of White Lightning Moonshine, the 2015 SIP Award-winning libations sold exclusively at the George Jones Museum.

Passing through the gift shop, you arrive in Choices Restaurant, one of Nashville’s newest and most popular eateries. Featuring culinary creations fit for any appetite, you won’t want to miss the fried green tomatoes or the bread pudding. Southern charm meets Southern cuisine at Choices, and diners can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner while taking in the panoramic views of the Cumberland River as it winds its way through town.

If music history is your delight, you’ll want to book an extra hour or two to take in the George Jones Museum, which occupies the entirety of the second floor of the complex. Featuring exhibits from each stage in George’s life, from his rural childhood, through his early days on the radio, all the way through to the memorial concert, the museum chronicles his life and gives fans 18

getaway nashville and middle tennessee

an intimate look behind the scenes for one of country’s most defining artists.

Assembled from the private collections of Nancy Jones, each artifact provides insights into the man’s life, his musical career, and his legacy. You may not need that rocking chair, but take a load off in the theatre anyway, and enjoy an in-depth documentary exploring Jones’s life. After you’re finished with the film, head over to the recording studio and lay down a track or two with the

Possum himself. And, before you go, be sure to take a selfie in the giant rocking chair, which used to adorn the gates of the Jones estate each Christmas.

After the museum, you’re sure to have worked up an appetite and a thirst. So head on up to the George, one of Nashville’s hottest night spots. The rooftop bar offers sweeping views of downtown Nashville, the Cumberland River, and all points beyond. Sip on a cocktail and maybe have a few appetizers while you listen to live music from some of the best up-andcoming musicians in Nashville. Or, just sit and peoplewatch, because you never know who’s going to turn up at the George.

With something for everyone, the George Jones Museum is sure to be a place you’ll tell your friends about when you get home. For more information, visit www.georgejonesmuseum.com. The George Jones Museum is located on 2nd Avenue, next door to the Wildhorse Saloon.

N

ancy Jones invites you for a walk through George Jones’s life.

Experience a winding wall of memorabilia and create some very special memories of your own, including singing with the legendary George Jones. Your experience only gets larger as you visit the Museum gift shop, stop by the tasting bar for a sip or two of White Lightning, enjoy a flavorful dish at Possum Holler Café and then take a ride to the rooftop and see the best view in Downtown Nashville. We will see you there!

Nashville Nightlife Dinner Theater “A Must See in Nashville”

A

re you looking for some good ole’ home cooking, exceptional Southern Hospitality and live entertainment that will have you singing along and tapping your feet? Then Nashville Nightlife is definitely the place to go!

We recently had the pleasure of a night out at the theater. We were warmly greeted at the door and given our tickets. We browsed the lobby area where we found unique, one-of-a-kind souvenirs and gifts. Before long, the hostess called our name and personally seated our party in the dinner theater. A smiling, friendly waitress took our beverage order and directed us to the buffet table. There we found a lovely salad bar and a first-class buffet with country fried chicken and ribs as their entrees that night, complete with all the fixins’. Everything was homemade right down to the peach cobbler for dessert. I had the warm feeling of being in my grandma’s kitchen.

Once the entertainment starts, I guarantee you will be dancing in your seat. We were treated to such a wide variety of music from Hank Williams Sr., Patsy Cline, and

I would highly recommend that visitors to Nashville experience Nashville Nightlife

Conway Twitty to Sara Evans and Toby Keith. There is entertainment for the entire family. The “Best of Country” Dinner and Show, throughout their season, includes guest stars such as “Opry Star” Jeannie Seely, “The Fiddle Man” Tim Watson, Tommy Cash, Diana Murrell, Paula Poe (from the Tammy Wynette Show) and many others.

This is a fantastic show you won’t want to miss! The standing ovation at the end of the show is an indication of the great time the audience had. Following the show there is a meet and greet with the performers. I would highly recommend that visitors to Nashville experience Nashville Nightlife where you will see the best of country from old to new.

Come see why the Nashville Nightlife Dinner Theater presents a Dinner and Country Music Show voted the best combination in Nashville. Don’t miss this Nashville tradition.

T

he Journey Home Project, co-founded by Charlie Daniels, has committed $50,000 to help equip the new Veterans and Military Family Center at Middle Tennessee State University set to open Nov. 5. The contribution comes from funds raised at the 40th Anniversary Volunteer Jam, which took place on Aug. 12 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

Daniels and his long-time manager, David Corlew, co-founded The Journey Home Project as a non-profit organization to assist other not-for-profits to secure funds to benefit veterans.

“Charlie and all of the board of The Journey Home Project are excited about our new partnership with MTSU and the veterans at this incredible university,” Corlew said.

“This center will be the resource that will enable young men and women returning home from their service to transition, along with their families, into their lives as civilians,” he added.

Daniels said, “We are anxious to see this center in action, a place where the many needs of our veterans can be dealt with by capable people who care.”

“Charlie Daniels is a great friend of our university and an inspiration to us all for his commitment to our veterans,” said MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee. “This support

by The Journey Home Project will help us improve the lives of our student-veterans and their precious families.”

“The 2,600-square-foot center, located on the first floor of Keathley University Center, will be the largest and most comprehensive post-secondary center for veterans in Tennessee,” said retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Keith Huber, MTSU’s senior adviser for veterans and leadership initiatives. “It will address a number of student needs, including financial aid, navigating veterans benefits and academic advising,” he added.

The center will have distinctive space for discussions, study sessions and will be staffed by fellow student veterans, who will serve as peer advisers and sponsors, according to Huber. There will also be a conference room for video teleconferencing and employer job interviews.

The university named Dr. Hilary Miller, a military spouse and family member, as center director earlier this summer.

She will lead an experienced staff alongside U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs employees Heather Conrad with VetSuccess on Campus and Veteran Affairs Coordinator Ray Howell.

28 getaway nashville and middle tennessee

Huber also revealed that a VA mental health counselor will also be in-house Charlie Daniels U.S. Army Lt Gen. Keith Huber (ret) to help veteran students and their families cope with post-war traumas, such as post-traumatic stress disorders.

“The new center will encourage and facilitate the success of our veterans as they transition out of uniform into academics, and then into future employment opportunities, as they strive to become leaders in the community much like they were in uniform. It will also help to answer all of their questions and give them a place to go where they’re talking to people with a commonality of background, purpose and focus,” Huber said.

Daniels has had close ties to MTSU for decades. In 1975, the second Volunteer Jam was held at MTSU’s Murphy Center and in 2009, the university presented him with the Joe M. Rodgers Spirit of America Award, an honor presented to a businessperson who has demonstrated the best of the spirit of America through significant contributions in government, education, and/or civic and charitable organizations.

McPhee surprised Daniels in 2013 with a presentation on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry that formally announced the Charlie Daniels Scholarship at the Murfreesboro university, which was created in the singer’s honor through a $25,000 endowment from the International Entertainment Buyers Association.

Inspiring Story Told In

MOTOWN THE MUSICAL

I

At TPAC February 16-21, 2016

n 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. obtained a loan of $800 and founded an enterprise he called Motown Records. Between 1961 and 1971, the company landed 163 singles in Billboard magazine’s Top 20. Gordy launched the careers of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Diana Ross and The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, and The Jackson 5 – to name just a few – and Motown became the most successful business owned and operated by an African American in the U.S. What Gordy and Motown accomplished had ramifications far beyond the world of music. Although Motown was home mostly to black artists, Gordy envisioned the music as “the sound of young America” – meaning Americans of all colors and ethnicities. Gordy and his mega team created a sound that was irresistible, a thrilling amalgamation of gospel, blues, and mainstream pop. Gordy “endeavored to reach across the racial divide with music that could touch all people,” as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame acknowledged.

Gordy’s legacy is celebrated in Motown the Musical, the hit Broadway show that tells his story and the story of Motown. It features a veritable hit parade performed by some of the most gifted artists in musical theatre. For tickets, visit TPAC.org or call (615)782-4040.

New at the Zoo in 2016

2016 brings new and exciting updates at Nashville Zoo, including new animal exhibits, a new entry village, and a sky high Soaring Eagle zip line.

W

ith the support of the City of Nashville and generous supporters and donors, Phase I of the Grow Wild campaign is currently underway with plans of opening new features and exhibits in 2016.

Because of tremendous growth and record breaking attendance in recent years, the Zoo’s Entry Village was a top priority for renovation in order to enhance the guest experience. Once complete, Entry Village will feature state-of-the-art membership and ticket facilities, restrooms, private room for nursing mothers, first aid station, security, new gift shop and more.

Nashville Zoo is excited for guests to see the brand new exhibits currently being constructed for Andean bears and spider monkeys.

The Andean bear is native to Peru, and guests will view the exhibit from a replica of the famous lodge at the base of Machu Picchu, Peru’s “Lost City of the Incas.” Inside this building, visitors will get an unobstructed view of the bears in their natural environment.

Nashville Zoo’s spider monkey exhibit will feature several of these lively primates. For a closer viewing experience, guests will be able to watch the monkeys from a treetop viewing platform.

The renovated tiger exhibit is scheduled to open in 2016, and will be expanded to provide more space for the animals and increased viewing areas for Nashville Zoo guests. The new exhibit will be home to three female Sumatran tigers. The renovation plans include an expanded bridge, waterfall and a second viewing area for an up-close view of these majestic cats.

Kids and adults will also be excited about the new sky high adventure, the Soaring Eagle zip line. The zip line will lift riders 60 feet high and several hundred yards back before releasing them for an exhilarating ride back to the starting point. Riders will be able to view the Zoo’s African Savannah, Historic Home, Festival Field and Gibbon Islands. To learn more about specific opening dates on any of these features, contact the Zoo directly for information and details.

Come see what’s new at the Zoo in 2016! The Zoo is open seven days a week, and most animals can be seen during the seasonal winter hours of 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. If you’re hoping to see a particular animal during your visit, we recommend contacting us in advance to see if it will be available for viewing during the cooler months.

Zoo admission is $15 per adult, $13 for seniors 65 and older and $10 for ages 2-12. For more information about the Nashville Zoo, call 615-833-1534 or visit www.nashvillezoo.org.

Steve Tobin : Southern Roots February 20 - September 4, 2016 (Indoor exhibition ends on May 29)

teve Tobin, a sculptor and artist of international renown, will debut Southern Roots, a solo exhibition of monumental works from his Steelroots series at Cheekwood in 2016. Tobin’s Steelroots evolved from the artist’s bronze Walking Roots, which culminated in the first art memorial in Lower Manhattan commemorating the devastating attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

In the days following the attack, Tobin, whose bronze Walking Roots had been on exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, and were de-installed on September 10, 2001, heard the remarkable story of the old sycamore tree across the street from Ground Zero that “saved St. Paul’s Chapel” and its historic tombstones from destruction. After three years of negotiation with officials at Trinity Church, Tobin managed to salvage the stump and root system from the tree and created the bronze Trinity Root sculpture, which was dedicated on the four year anniversary of the World Trade Center attack at its permanent site of Wall Street and Broadway. Tobin decided that the Trinity Root would be the last bronze roots sculpture in the series.

The Steelroots evolution took the theme of roots from naturalist to modernist, enabling Tobin much greater reach in terms of scale and gestural forms. From the Dancing Roots to the Gothic Arch and minimalist three branch roots, the Steelroots series has expanded

exponentially Tobin’s oeuvre.

The Southern Roots exhibition will span Cheekwood’s vast landscape, including five outdoor areas. The Museum of Art will play host to smaller pieces from Tobin’s extensive portfolio of sculpture. While in the Museum, visitors will have the opportunity to experience Southern Roots in the second floor gallery spaces, each providing an intimate setting to observe a particular style and medium of Tobin’s historic work. A piece Tobin’s work will also be located downtown Nashville at the Antiques & Garden Show of Nashville’s Entry Garden (February 12-14) and then will move to the Riverview Garden. In addition to Tobin’s massive sculptures in steel and bronze, the artist incorporates natural elements such as wood, glass and ceramics into his beautiful, mysterious and dramatic works of art. Tobin’s newest series, using wood from fallen trees in Costa Rica, has never before been exhibited and will be a highlight of the indoor Museum exhibition.

Born and raised on Philadelphia’s Main Line, Tobin’s first awakening to the natural world that

would so profoundly shape his future art work was in the treehouse of his youth, where he carefully observed patterns in nature, shadows and light.

He went on to earn a degree in Theoretical Mathematics from Tulane University, where he also participated in a glass blowing class. This set the stage for what would become a decades-long exploration of the medium of glass, with Tobin distinguishing himself as one of the top artists in the then fertile studio glass movement, culminating with a blockbuster two person show with Marc Chagall in the caves of Nutijarvi, Finland.

Tobin’s segue into metal sculpture proved equally phenomenal, as he quickly became established as one of the top, most ambitious sculptors in bronze and steel in the fine art world where he remains today.

music city trivia & fun facts

DidYouKNOW? DID YOU KNOW… The amount on the price tag on Minnie Pearl’s hat was $1.98. The Centerville native and Grand Ole Opry star would eventually buy a home next door to the Governor’s Mansion on Curtiswood Lane in Nashville.

DID YOU KNOW… That President Theodore Roosevelt coined the phrase “good to the last drop”, words that became a national slogan, after sipping coffee at Maxwell House Hotel. The coffee was a local product of the Cheek family. Their family home is now Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art. DID YOU KNOW… Nashville’s Athena Parthenos is the tallest indoor sculpture in the Western world. She stands an impressive 42 feet high in the temple of the Parthenon.

DID YOU KNOW… Elvis recorded more than 200 of his songs at RCA’s Historic Studio B on Music Row. The red, blue and green lights found in the studio are a remnant from one of Elvis’s Christmas albums. Unable to get in the holiday spirit while recording in July, he was having trouble finishing the album.

The crew solved the problem by installing holiday-colored lights, putting up an artificial Christmas tree in the corner and cranking the air conditioner up as high as it would go to create the festive atmosphere.

DID YOU KNOW… Country singer Randy Travis was a cook and dishwasher at the Nashville Palace before he made it big.

DID YOU KNOW… Belle Meade Plantation was famous for breeding thoroughbred horses. Iroquois, bred at the Belle Meade Farm, was the first American horse to win the English Derby. In addition to Iroquois, there were two other famous horses that can trace their lineage back to Belle Meade: Seabiscuit and War Admiral, both made popular again by the 2011 best-selling novel. For generations removed, the 1930’s horses were descendents of the sires of Bonnie Scotland, Belle Meade’s prize horse, making the family rivalry at the Plantation run deep.

DID YOU KNOW… In 1941, Nashville was granted the first FM license in the United States.

Music City then became the first to enjoy static-free radio.

DID YOU KNOW… The Frist Center for Visual Arts is located in what was formerly Nashville’s main post office, a city landmark, placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The Center went to great lengths to preserve the historical integrity of the building, as the building itself is a work of art.

DID YOU KNOW… African-American artist and native Nashvillan Will Edmonson was the first black to be honored with a one-man exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Edmonson, the son of former slaves, created primitive limestone carvings of animals, angels, Biblical characters, and even celebrities. A photo spread of his work in Harper’s Bazaar led to the historic 1937 exhibit in New York City. Today, his works are on display at Cheekwood.

DID YOU KNOW… Nashville was founded on Christmas Eve 1779 along the banks of the Cumberland River. Two teams of pioneers set forth from the Carolinas to found the new city. Upon arrival, they immediately began building Fort Nashborough. Among the pioneers was Rachel Donelson, who would later become the wife of Andrew Jackson.

DID YOU KNOW… The Hermitage: Home of President Andrew Jackson, the 7th president of the United States, boasts a driveway in the shape of a guitar. Legend says that the driveway was so shaped to please his daughter-in-law Emily. Nashvillians like to think it was a good sign of things to come.

DID YOU KNOW… Standard Candy Company, founded in 1901, created the GooGoo, a true Nashville delight marrying peanuts, caramel, marshmallow and milk chocolate together for a tasty cluster of candy. Today Standard Candy Company uses more than 3 million pounds of chocolate a year. Legend has it that GOO stands for Grand Ole Opry.

DID YOU KNOW… After a May 1885 sermon given by the Reverend Sam Jones at a tent revival, Captain Tom Ryman became an instant convert and immediately began raising funds to build a church. Upon his death in 1904, the church he built as the Union Gospel Tabernacle, was renamed in his honor - Ryman Auditorium. The iconic venue would later host such performers as Enrico Caruso, Katharine Hepburn, and Bob Hope, as well as the Grand Ole Opry from 1943-1974. Not surprisingly, in 2003, 2004, 2010 and 2011, the Ryman was named Theatre of the Year by Pollstar Magazine. Today, the Ryman is open for tours during the day and for concerts by artists of all genres at night.

DID YOU KNOW… Oprah Winfrey was raised in Nashville by her father Vernon Winfrey.

While a sophomore at Tennessee State University (TSU), she was hired as a news anchor at WTVF-TV/News Channel 5, making her the first female and first African American in Nashville to hold such a job.

DID YOU KNOW… That the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is an architectural wonder in itself? One side of the building is a RKO-style radio tower while the main building, with windows resembling a piano keyboard, ends in a Cadillac tailfin-style flourish.

DID YOU KNOW… President Richard Nixon was onstage when the Grand Ole Opry broadcast its first show in the new Opry House in 1974. The former President played “God Bless America” on the piano and Roy Acuff showed him how to yo-yo.

DID YOU KNOW… Nashville is known the world over as “Music City” because WSM radio announcer David Cobb referred to Nashville with that nickname in 1950 on Red Foley’s NBC radio broadcast.

DID YOU KNOW… The Hermitage Hotel which has hosted several political and entertainment figures including John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Al Capone since it opened its doors in 1910 is the only Five-Star, Five Diamond property in the state of Tennessee.

DID YOU KNOW… The Union Station Hotel, a National Historic Landmark since 1977, was originally built in 1900 as the city’s railroad station.

The Grammy Gallery Coming To Music City

T

he highly anticipated GRAMMY Gallery will open early 2016 and will be an 8,500 square foot expansion of the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, which is located on the first floor of the Nashville Historic Municipal Auditorium.

Through educational interactive stations, the permanent GRAMMY Gallery will explore the creative process of making music in a hands on, immersive environment — from songwriting and MHFM exterior producing to engineering, mixing, singing, and rapping. The gallery will explore the role of the DJ and the history of the GRAMMY Awards — the pre-eminent peerrecognized award for musical excellence. In addition, the Gallery will include an exhibit about the history of the GRAMMY Awards and a 3-D view of the making of the iconic gramophone-shaped GRAMMY Award.

“The Musicians Hall of Fame is a diverse multi-genre museum, much like the GRAMMY Museum,” said Joe Chambers, Executive Director of the museum. “Our collection of iconic musical instruments that have been used in live and studio sessions by some of the greatest musicians in the world, married with the GRAMMY Museum’s state-of-theart, interactive, and educational gallery, will be a great experience for all visitors to Music City.”

The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum honors the background musicians who played on thousands of iconic albums throughout history. Yes, Nashville is stereotypically country, but it is by no means the only genre that has been or is being created here. This museum sheds light on the recording sessions that were otherwise closed to the public.

Visitors learn what went on during sessions such as Elvis recording “In the Ghetto” at American Original guitars from Nashville “A” Team Sound Studios 54 getaway nashville and middle tennessee

in Memphis; Ringo Starr recording “Beaucoup of Blues” at Studio 19 in Nashville, or The Beach Boys recording their countless hits with The Wrecking Crew at Los Angeles’s Capitol Records.

The GRAMMY Gallery at Musicians Hall of Fame is a one-of-akind public-private partnership that repurposes a historic city property at a fraction of new construction cost and adds a unique destination and experience for Music City visitors and residents.

“We are excited to develop our one-of-a-kind interactive experiences at the Musicians Hall of Fame,” said Bob Santelli, Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum. “It will explore the intricacies of the recording process, from beginning to end, in a city where so much great music is made.”

The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum also hosts an annual induction ceremony and concert which honors new members, nominated by the American Federation of Musicians and other music industry professionals, and ensures the continued growth of the museum. The 2014 induction included greats such as Barbara Mandrell, Peter Frampton, and Randy Bachman. Nashville mogul Mike Curb was inducted with a Non-performance Award and Roy Orbison posthumously received the inaugural Iconic Riff Award.

Musicians Hall of Fame 2014 Induction show (left to right): Randy Bachman, Will Lee, Billy Gibbons, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Peter Frampton

The Museum is located at 401 Gay St. on the first floor of the Nashville Historical Municipal Auditorium. For breaking news and exclusive content visit www.musicianshalloffame.com, follow @ MHFM on social media, or call (615) 244-3263.
