Choose from a selection of classic songs or bring an original composition of your own and let our sound engineer record your rendition right in the Ryman Auditorium.

To record your own composition, please come prepared with a lyric sheet and our engineer will set up to record you playing and singing your own song.

You may bring your own acoustic instrument to record at the Ryman. This includes guitars, banjos, mandolins, violins/fiddles, and dulcimers. We also have an acoustic guitar available that you may borrow. Electric instruments are not allowed in the Make A Record booth.

To schedule a recording time, contact or visit the Ryman Box Office. Our helpful staff will work with you to select a time that corresponds with your Ryman tour. Each recording session will last approximately twenty minutes.
