Explained simply
Rock the Ryman is an annual concert celebrating the shared heritage of rock and roll and country music at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, one of America's most historic music venues. The event, now in its second year, was created to honour Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees who have performed at the Ryman, which gained official landmark status with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
The concert brings together musicians from different genres who are connected to the Ryman's storied past. Performers interpret songs from artists who shaped their own musical journeys, with this year's lineup including Wynonna, YOLA, Devon Allman and others. The event is hosted by John Oates, the musician known for his work with the rock duo Hall & Oates.
Money raised from ticket sales supports music education and preservation work at both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Ryman Auditorium. This connects the concert to broader efforts to maintain America's musical heritage and support the next generation of musicians.
