Ryman Auditorium is thrilled to bring back its Sidewalk Session series this fall starting on Thursday, Sept. 5.
The pre-show party series will provide live music from today’s hottest up-and-coming artists on PNC Plaza for nine weeks this fall. These events are free and open to the public, feature drinks at the outdoor bar and include giveaways from the new and expanded Ryman Shop.
All guests are welcome, whether they are attending a ticketed show at the Ryman or are looking for free live music in downtown Nashville. Each week, the pre-show parties will kick off on the PNC plaza approximately two hours before Ryman ticketed concert events begin. The Ryman Shop, featuring one-of-a-kind retail items from Nashville’s most iconic stage, will also be open for all guests.
