We did the VIP tour. This was a smaller group than usual tours (max 10 people) and we got to see a lot of backstage areas such as the dressing rooms that aren’t part of the regular tour. The guide made it special because she had a lot more information and fun facts than we would’ve gotten from the regular self-guided tour. We are not country music fans, but we very very much enjoyed this tour, and we recommend it to everyone.

Went to the Old Dominion concert Monday night and as sick as I was, I still enjoyed the show. The venue is old and quaint which is what made it fun. I commented a couple of times that I thought the loudness of the concert was just right. It's not a play for gods sake and people that says it's too loud well maybe you should stick to that. It was just enough to make you feel like you were at a concert but you could still talk to the person next to you. And Old Dominion is not by any means a quiet group so I thought it was perfect. Only thing I really despised as there really is no organization on getting in. We stood at the top of the steps but apparently they had a line going off to the side and up the block for quite a ways. So we had to wait for the entire line pretty much until one security guy who was really cool finally just said, go ahead on in. If we would have known that was the setup we would have gotten in line but they had only ONE line to get everyone in so it took quite a bit of time.

Make the splurge and get the backstage tour! Our endearing tour guide, Annabelle, shared history, interesting stories and highlighted the contributions of women to this iconic venue. You get to go on stage, snap photos and visit the exhibits of costumes some Of the greats (Dolly, Taylor, and Cash) and memorabilia. It’s a feel good tour and your learn lots about bluegrass and country music! Also don’t miss the movie-it’s a really cool and immersive and will have you toe tappin’ as you head into the hall. If you take the self guided tour, your access is very limited to a few exhibits and a short movie.

We visited the Ryman yesterday. You can feel the history as you step inside. What an iconic venue! We took the guided tour that includes many of the dressing rooms and we got to step onstage. (We also received a free picture of us standing onstage in front of a microphone.) Our tour guide was Dakota and he was excellent. He was friendly, very informative and made the visit so historically interesting. We also saw a beautifully made film of the history of the building. We wandered around and even sat on those church pews. It was a tour I will long remember.

I thought this might just be a walk around to see the auditorium, take some photos and out again...but no! This is a full on tour to learn of all the history and find out some of the people who have been on stage here (many of them are surprising non-musicians). There is also a small museum section with stuff such as Ray Charles old suit and early Elvis contact. Best of all, there is an immersive video show that goes all around the room and is very cool to hear about the beginnings as a church building. Make sure to go to the stage for the photo opportunity before leaving - you pick up your snap at the gift shop up the street.

If music (all kinds - just well done) is your love, this tour is for you! My husband and I made time to do the guided back stage tour. WOW! JT, our guide was FULL of information and definitely loves giving the tours. We saw the dressing rooms where all the wonderful legendary musicians prepared for their concerts. We learned how this building was once a tabernacle that was built by someone who previously didn’t even believe in God. We also learned that Nashville had a red light district and was pretty rowdy! Original benches and parts of the stage. When you go in the building you can appreciate the love, care and excitement it has had over the decades. Ticket included: guided tour back stage access (worth it!), self guided tour, professional photo, Johnny Cash’s bus. PS we attended- Ledisi R&B -concert the night before… amazing acoustics!

We did the VIP tour and it was totally worth it. Our tour guide, Drake, showed us all of the behind the scenes dressing rooms and production spaces. We were able to take our time and ask a ton of questions and really enjoy this amazing, historic venue.

Sometimes a song (or a whole show) can take us far away from the days’ grind or worries. A perfect example is this song this night this 2 hour two set show by Band Of Horses. It didn’t hurt that our own Nelson @clermont1 proposed to his lady April just moments before. But really music can be our connector, or equalizer or simply a way to drift into a little state of bliss. Who does it for you? For us -for me- it’s half our clients, it’s #bandofhorses at #theryman it’s #thenational or #boniver at #chastainpark amphitheater. #ClemSnide at #pinhook or any number of thoughtful #indiemusic stalwarts new and old. We’ve been privileged And I mean it truly is our privilege- to work with and see and hear some of the most talented creators artists and #songwriters ever. From #sigurros to #wilco to @jason Lytle (go get the new one! And the new” @grandaddymusic !) and continue to support hard working artists of all types. Also come to teamclermont.com to hear unknowns and popular peeps, tell us who moves you, tell us who our next signings and clients should be. Who isn’t being heard by enough people yet!? We are in this community together. Spread the word. That’s what we do. And go congratulate @clermont1 … but mostly share the music that moves you. 🥰🤙 @clemsnidemusic you’re next

We came to town to see Amy Grant And Vince Gill do one of their Christmas shows and enjoyed the heck out of it. Once we got the tickets that we wanted (which was tricky) everything was great. The singing, musicianship and acoustics was top notch. Seating in this beautiful historic theater is pew style curved benches with a large balcony above. Enjoy!

My daughter and I went to see Mitski in concert here. Very nice place, with lots of history. Although it can seat a lot of people, it feels intimate. My only complaint was that the pews can get uncomfortable rather quickly and if you don’t get the right seats, you could have a pillar obstructing your view.
