NASHVILLE, Tenn.

“We are happy to make these special events available to fans at such a nominal
cost,” said Pam Matthews, general manager of the Ryman Auditorium. “Our
programming is a great addition to the other Fan Fair activities taking place downtown,
and no trip to Nashville would be complete without a visit to the historic Ryman
Auditorium.”
