Ryman Auditorium has enchanted residents, tourists, and musicians for years, featuring artists like Elvis Pressley and Johnny Cash.
The Fisk Jubilee Singers from Nashville’s Fisk University put their hometown on the map in the 1800s with their around-the-world music tours that funded the school’s mission of educating freed slaves after the Civil War. When they performed for the Queen of England, she remarked they must come from “Music City”, setting the tone for Nashville’s future as the ultimate destination for songwriting, performing, and music publishing.
