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.

Over the last two years, other exciting additions to the brand’s offerings are the flagship retail store, the Goo Goo Shop, and the Goo Goo Shop Dessert Bar. Located in the SoBro area of downtown Nashville, the retail store and cafe give visitors the opportunity to walk through history as they peruse a 100+ year timeline complete with artifacts from the Goo Goo archives, feast their eyes upon Premium Goo Goos being made by hand in a glassed-encased confectionery kitchen and satisfy their sweet tooth with delicious baked treats, gourmet confections, and ice cream.

The Goo Goo Shop is the exclusive retailer of Premium Goo Goos, 4-ounce candies made 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.

OPENS FGL HOUSE IN DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE

M

ulti-platinum superstars FLORIDA GEORGIA Line are proud to announce the establishment of their first restaurant and entertainment destination, a four-story 22,000 square foot attraction in Nashville’s trendy SoBro district named FGL House after the famous duo.

FGL House held its’ grand opening on Monday, June 5th just in time for the 2017 CMA Music Festival. FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE welcomed guests inside the hit making

duo’s anything-goes world, four levels of good times and vibey tunes that are designed to make each visitor a part of the FGL tribe.

“What excites Tyler and I the most is always staying creative. We love seeing what fresh things we can come up with to take our music to a new level and turn our dreams into reality,” shared Brian Kelley, a member of FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE along with Tyler Hubbard.

Tyler Hubbard adds, “We want FGL House to be just as welcoming, fun and entertaining for our guests as if they were coming out to one of our shows – nothing but good food, good drinks and good times!”

Situated on 3rd Avenue South in the Country music mecca of downtown Nashville, the new venue features edgy live music every day – focusing specifically on today’s country trends. A world-class kitchen fuses unique Southern style cuisine with California flair, and

bars on each floor serve local craft beers and deliciously mixed cocktails – many featuring the red-hot duo’s own Old Camp Whiskey.

FGL House boasts the largest “Cruise” rooftop bar Nashville has to offer, dedicated to an all-day and allnight party with stunning views of the Music City skyline.

Meanwhile, visitors can step away from the hustle and bustle to relax in the classy “Little Red Corvette” basement-level lounge, complete with its own baby grand piano, cocktail menu inspired by ‘90s pop culture and specialty martinis.

A massive, awe-inspiring video wall continuously showcases the hottest video content from Florida Georgia Line and other country stars – as well as your favorite sporting events – and the internationally renowned Dee Jay Silver spins custom country mixes during can’t miss Country Club Tuesdays.

“It was a cool opportunity in our hometown here in Nashville that we love – a place we could call our own and gather with our friends, our family and our fans and create a cool environment where people can make great memories,” said Tyler.

ake a walk through the historic, mythical and trailblazing career of Virginia Patterson Hensley, better known to the world as the iconic Patsy Cline.

Nashville’s newest museum houses the largest collection of Patsy Cline artifacts in the world. Locked away for over 50 years, personal artifacts, letters, photographs, costumes, clothing, and household furnishings from her Nashville dream house help to pay homage to Cline’s storied personal and professional life.

Patsy Cline was born Virginia Patterson Hensley of humble beginnings and began to experience a career that was about to launch her into superstardom until it was ended too early due to the tragic plane crash that took her life in 1963.

Patsy landed her first recording contract with Four Star Records in 1955, but saw her biggest success when signing with Decca Records, which released her debut project in 1957. In her five and a half year charting career, she scored hits like Walkin’ After Midnight, I Fall to Pieces, Crazy, She’s Got You, Leavin’ On Your Mind, So Wrong and many others.

Patsy Cline became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1960 and broke many ceilings for women. She was the first female to receive headline billing over her male tour-mates and the first female to not only anchor a Las Vegas Casino, but also to perform at New York’s Carnegie Hall.

Despite all these accomplishments and the amazing fact that she has impacted generations of fans more than

50 years after her passing, fans had previously never had a museum to visit to honor her legacy.

The opening of the Patsy Cline Museum represents this opportunity for fans, in the very town whose sound she was so influential in creating. Another exciting first for fans is the opportunity to purchase licensed apparel and collectables; never before available.

Guests will travel back to her humble beginnings in Winchester, VA and see family photos, possessions and even the very booth she waitressed as a teenager at Gaunt’s Drugstore. Never-before-seen costumes that exhibit her transition from western cowgirl to torch singing headliner will also be on display. Many of the costumes exhibited are creations designed and sewn by her mother, Hilda.

Guests will have the unique opportunity to step inside Patsy’s famed Rec Room, where many famous entertainers dropped in to jam and party in the dream home Patsy purchased on Nella Drive in Goodlettsville, TN. The room contains original furnishings owned and used by Cline and her husband Charlie Dick. A vintage jukebox broadcasts her mega- hit “Crazy,” highlighting its distinction as the most programmed jukebox song of all time. A bio film documents Patsy’s career and is hosted by noted actress Beverly D’Angelo, who played the role of Patsy Cline in the 1980 film “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” D’Angelo was nominated for a Golden Globe award for her role in the film.

Located at 119 Third Avenue South, the Patsy Cline Museum is located on the second level of the building which houses the world renowned Johnny Cash Museum.

Guests are educated and entertained via cutting-edge audio and touch screen technology featuring Cline’s numerous audio and video performances. The museum is open daily from 9 AM – 7 PM CT. For more information, visit: www.facebook.com/Patsyclinemuseum and www.patsymuseum.com.

t’s no secret that many of the biggest stars in Nashville’s music history got their start at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis; the original address of Sun Records. Such legendary performers as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and even Conway Twitty passed through the historic studios of Sam Phillips throughout their careers.

That legacy is celebrated at the Sun Diner located at 105 Third Ave. S in downtown Nashville. The diner serves as a tribute to the music that came from Phillips’ studio.

“The musical histories of Nashville and Memphis are forever intertwined with each other, with so many artists beginning their career at Sun before taking their music to Nashville – and all over the world,” said Adam Hesler, President of TC Restaurant Group, the company which owns the establishment and hopes to continue the tribute to Sun Records in cities across the country.

Continuing with the theme of making history, Sun Diner is Nashville’s first 24-hour restaurant to be located in the downtown area of Music City.

“We are excited about being Nashville’s first 24-hour diner to open, especially right off of Broadway in the heart

of the Honky Tonk district,” says TC’s Hesler. “Because of the uniqueness of our always being open, we serve a wide variety of dishes – ranging from dinner to breakfast – for those going home after a night on Broadway, or for those about to start their day downtown.”

The restaurant is a hot destination for tourists – and locals – who are looking for one last taste of southern hospitality during the early morning hours.

The menu at the Sun Diner will most definitely take on a Memphis flavor with such listings as the “Love Me” Tenders – named after the classic Presley hit, as well as the “Cry, Cry, Cry” Hot Wings – with its name taken from the first major hit record from “The Man In Black.” Among the entrees include the “Million Dollar Quartet,” with its moniker taken from the iconic December 1956 session at the label with Presley, Lewis, Cash, and Carl Perkins. Consumers will get to pick their choice of four items among such delicious fare as Crispy Bacon, Sausage Patty, Chef Thomas’ Hash Browns, Cage-free organic eggs any style, Pancake, Waffle, and Granola Parfait.

NUDIE’S HONKY TONK

EMBELLISHES BROADWAY WITH COSTUMES, ARTIFACTS, FOOD & MUSIC

he world-famous Nudie’s Honky Tonk is now open on Broadway in Nashville featuring a three-story entertainment complex housing memorabilia, costumes, multiple bars, stages, and Southern style comfort food for patrons. This must-see attraction celebrates the life of Nudie Cohn and the unforgettable mark he made sewing together Hollywood glamour and country culture.

“The rhinestone cowboy couture was founded in the hands of Nudie Cohn,” says owner Bill Miller, who also founded Music City’s award-winning Johnny Cash Museum, and is prepping the opening of the Patsy Cline Museum.

“This attraction serves not only as a historical record of the epicenter where fashion perfectly fused country and Hollywood cultures, but also provides a museumlike environment for patrons to enjoy great food, drinks and live music.”

Ukrainian-born Nuta “Nudie” Kotlyarenko and his wife, Bobbie, started their world-renowned fashion brand from their garage in the 1940’s.

Nudie’s Rodeo Tailor fashions were donned by the hottest in film and music including Gene Autry, Johnny Cash, John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Robert Redford, Porter Wagner and John Wayne, and more. One of Nudie’s most recognized, ostentatious contributions on display is Elvis Presley’s $10,000 gold lame’ suit that he wore on the cover of the “50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong” album.

Nudie didn’t stop at clothing. He also customized automobiles, installing silver-dollar dashboards, pistol

door handles and gear shifts, extending rear bumpers and trimming vehicles with longhorn steer horns as hood ornaments. Nine “Nudie Mobiles” survive today, with his $400,000 1975 Cadillac El Dorado finding a permanent home on the wall at Nudie’s Honky Tonk.

In addition to Nudie’s iconic vintage suits and country music artifacts, Broadway’s newest offering houses three live performance spaces and Nashville’s longest bar at more than 100 feet. This remarkable destination, located at 409 Broadway, is open Monday-Thursday from 11AM to 3AM, and Friday-Sunday from 10AM to 3AM.

adame Tussauds, the world-renowned wax attraction, is set to open its newest attraction in Music City April 2017. The multi-sensory experience will make guests the star of the show while getting up close and personal with some of the world’s biggest musical talents. Built to honor Nashville and its deep roots in America’s music history, Madame Tussauds will host visitors from around the globe as they enjoy a musical journey through time alongside a colorful cast of figures. The Nashville location will be the first Madame Tussauds worldwide that will center its focus on one theme, music. The beloved brand is excited to be opening an attraction in the U.S. that focuses solely on the lyrical icons that have shaped the musical landscape of America.

Kicking off the project with a groundbreaking ceremony in July of 2016, Madame Tussauds Nashville’s construction is making headway with the sounds of hammers steadfastly working toward the April 2017 opening. Crews have been working tirelessly to transform the space, creating vivid and authentic scenery that will become the backdrop to the dynamic cast of wax figures.

Several music heavy-hitters have already been announced as permanent residents of the brand’s newest locale. Music royalty hitting the stage at Madame Tussauds Nashville will include Beyoncé, Carrie Underwood, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Johnny Cash, Minnie Pearl and Little Jimmy Dickens. More artists will continue to be added to the bill as the attraction nears completion.

Madame Tussauds has been generating excitement within the Nashville community, hosting several surprise figure reveal events prior to the location’s impending opening.

The late Minnie Pearl made her figure debut to Nashville residents and the television viewing audiences around the country, alongside her family members in the city’s annual Christmas parade this

December. Adoring fans waved and cheered as she cruised down Broadway atop a Gray Line bus.

Little Jimmy Dickens’ figure also made a splash on the scene as the Grand Ole Opry legend’s close friend and country superstar, Brad Paisley, introduced Dickens’ look alike on the iconic Opry at the Ryman stage. Paisley paid tribute to his late friend with a performance of his favorite Dickens’ song, to the delight of the crowd. And current Country superstar, Blake Shelton’s figure made its debut on NBC’s TODAY Show on February 27th, while Luke Bryan chose the stage of his Madison Square Garden concert on March 1st to take the first peek at his wax figure.

Attendees of the attraction will not only be allowed, but encouraged to have fun and interact with the figures. Take a selfie with Queen Bey, rock out next to T-Swift or sing a bar with the Man in Black.

Early bird tickets are now available for guests to purchase in order to be among the first to experience the one-of-a-kind attraction. These limited-time-only tickets offer visitors $5 off the regular ticket price. These special Early Bird tickets are redeemable through the end of 2017, after the attraction opens the rate will return to the standard rate of $24 for adults and $19 for children ages 3-12. Ages two and under are always free.

Viewing the unrivaled craftsmanship of each figure is truly an experience that cannot be missed, each Madame Tussauds figure is a work of art, involving teams of professional artists and sculptors who spend months of extensive research and take more than 300 measurements to recreate world-famous icons to achieve the kind of astonishing realism that has been at the heart of the 250-year Madame Tussauds’ legacy.

To stay apprised of all Madame Tussauds Nashville happenings, connect with the attraction on social media.

Bavarian Bierhaus brings a taste of Germany to Music City!

T

here is certainly no shortage of places to grab a beer in Nashville, a city where honky-tonks and craft beer taverns abound. But when it comes to getting an authentic German bier in a warm, friendly Oktoberfest atmosphere, there is only one place to go – Bavarian Bierhaus!

Bavarian Bierhaus opened in April 2017 at Opry Mills, Middle Tennessee’s largest destination shopping center, and is directly across the street from the famous Grand Ole Opry and the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. Only 10 miles from downtown Nashville, the 15,000-square-foot massive bierhall offers the fun, excitement and culture of Bavaria right here in Music City.

The bierhall has 500 seats inside and 120 more seats in the biergarten outside, as well as a large private dining room that can hold up to 100 guests. There are 12 large TVs scattered throughout the restaurant and bar area, so guests can cheer on their favorite sports teams.

Not only is Bavarian Bierhaus a great place to catch a game, it’s also a live music venue featuring authentic German bands from right here in Nashville and across the country. Patrons are encouraged to get up and dance on the benches and swing their steins back and forth like in a true Munich bierhall. There is nothing like this experience elsewhere in Nashville!

Guests come to the Bavarian Bierhaus for more than just the entertainment – they come for the bier and the authentic Bavarian cuisine. Patrons can enjoy 12 beers on tap imported from Bavaria and various German-brewed bottles. Biers can be enjoyed as a flight or a stein along with delicious authentic cuisine.

Menu items include a range of items, from appetizers to soups and salads, to a variety of sausages from Milwaukee’s Usinger Sausage company, to schnitzels. The family-friendly restaurant also offers a children’s menu. Now, Nashville locals and guests are treated to Bavarian delicacies that are hard to come by in this region.

Menu sampling: • Giant imported Pretzels with Sweet Mustard (or try the bier cheese spread!)

• Kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes) • Hot Bacon Spinach Salat • Bavarian Onion Soup • Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich • Reuben • Currywurst • Schnitzel (pork or chicken) 32 getaway nashville and middle tennessee

Oktoberfest Chicken Schweinshaxe (roasted crisp pork shank) Pretzel Pudding Apfelstrudel (apple strudel) Black Forest Cake

How did Nashville get so lucky as to get one of the few authentic Bavarian restaurants in the U.S.? Two American soldiers stationed in Germany met after they returned home and realized they had both fallen in love with the Bavarian culture while abroad. They decided that Americans, especially those in Nashville, home to one of the soldiers, needed to experience the incredible culture they fell in love with, and thus

the Bavarian Bierhaus was born.

The soldiers also wanted to make sure their restaurant created a feeling the Bavarians call Gemütlichkeit, which is a warm, inviting feeling Bavarians exude when they make visitors feel welcome and at home. In Nashville, we recognize this as Southern hospitality.

Don’t miss the opportunity to try this new destination for fun for the whole family in Music City. Find the Bavarian Bierhaus at 121 Opry Mills Drive, Nashville, Tenn. For more information and the full menu, visit www.bierhausnashville.com.

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 Conway Twitty to Sara Evans and Toby Keith. There is

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. D on’t miss this Nashville tradition.

When Man and Nature Create a Masterpiece

T

he story goes, Mabel and Leslie Cheek, Sr. purchased a Victorian-style, gilt wood, mirror and table from an antique emporium in Atlanta, Georgia, sometime in the 1920s. Unfortunately, the mirror was so tall that it would not fit into their home on West End Avenue, where they were living, in Nashville. Leslie, Sr. was not fond of storing such elaborate and expensive items in his company’s warehouse, so he candidly offered two solutions to Mabel: sell the mirror or build a bigger house...

Originally built as the home of Mabel and Leslie Cheek, Sr. in 1929, Cheekwood is one of the finest surviving examples of an American Country Place Era estate. Since being converted into a museum of art and botanical garden in 1960, Cheekwood has presented world-class art exhibitions, spectacular gardens and an historic estate unlike anything else. For the last two years, the mansion has been undergoing a major restoration led by Leslie B. Jones, Vice President, Museum Affairs/Curator of Decorative Arts at Cheekwood.

The newly restored home will feature the never-beforeseen Recreation Room, as well as, many of the Cheek’s original furnishings. When asked about why she wanted to take this project on, Jones shared, “I really enjoyed that this was an historic home located in the south, but that the building and its history represented a broader perspective of southern heritage.” For the last year and a half the motto around Cheekwood has been that we are “looking forward to our past”, but this was not the motto of the Cheeks in 1929.

The Cheeks were looking back. The house was being constructed in 1929, but the Cheeks were not looking at the latest, contemporary 1929 architecture movements. The Cheeks were looking back to the 18th century and hoped to recreate that English, Georgian style. Leslie Cheek, Sr. hired architect Bryant Fleming to bring their dream home to life.

The architecture was profound, perhaps too profound in that the design is so much like its precedent that it often leaves visitors wondering when the home was actually built; and if it had running water or electricity.

The Cheeks were not so different from families in 2017.

Although they did not have the modern likes of HGTV©, they did have magazines and were aware of advertisements which showcased interior design and decoration. When the Cheek’s

decided to build their home, they went the extra thousand miles and traveled to Great Britain with Fleming, stocking up on historical architectural elements, antique furnishings, and fine art that they then brought back to their estate.

In acquiring all of these priceless pieces, the Cheeks were novice collectors. Like many other wealthy Americans, they were able to capitalize on the decline of the European economy and aristocratic culture post WWI. “The Cheeks were simply trying to create a home that looked like what they had seen elsewhere.

They were, in essence, jackdaws; but that was largely what the country place era movement represented with its participants plucking beautiful, historical elements from Europe and placing them in their revival-style American homes,” Jones explains.

The restoration has been about moving forward with society and culture. Jones has been designing not only the interior in the home, but the interpretation of the home and the Cheek family as well.

“My hope is that each time a visitor returns to Cheekwood they learn something new,” she said. “That’s my overall goal with interpretation: to continuously introduce more information but to also have a solid baseline narrative that is easy to understand, relatable, and compelling.”

The Cheekwood Mansion reopened to the public on Saturday, June 17 with the opening of Dressing Downton™ Changing Fashion for Changing Times. For more information visit cheekwood.org. .

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.

60 getaway nashville and middle tennessee

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.
