The Ryman Auditorium’s first concert, featuring the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, was held May 4, 1892. Captain Thomas Ryman founded the Ryman Auditorium as a church in 1890 after hearing the preaching of Sam Jones during a tent revival in Nashville. After Ryman died in 1904, the building was renamed the Ryman Auditorium.
In 1943, the Grand Ole Opry moved from the War Memorial Auditorium to the Ryman Auditorium. The building served as the Opry’s official home for over 30 years, until the Opry outgrew the venue and relocated to the Grand Ole Opry House complex in 1974. The Ryman is also the birthplace of bluegrass music; in 1945, Earl Scruggs debuted with Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys, making for a lineup that would serve as the archetype of the bluegrass sound.
The Ryman Auditorium, which today can seat 2,362 people, hosted everyone from magician Harry Houdini, actor Charlie Chaplin, former president Theodore Roosevelt, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and an array of musicians including Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, B.B. King, and Harry Styles.
