It's easy to be bombarded with all the landmark sights around Nashville, even if you're one of its residents. With so many places to visit, some of the city's brightest attractions might actually be missed. Try catching a show at the historic Ryman Auditorium the next time you're looking for something to do in Nashville or if you're trying to find a great activity while visiting. The Ryman, which was once home to the Grand Ole Opry, still hosts a variety of amazing acts that come into Nashville, and it also offers one of the most accoustically pleasing environments for live music.

So you've heard about the Ryman and all it has to offer. But did you know that another Nashville landmark is in cahoots with the Ryman? Hatch Show Print is located just around the corner from the Ryman and still does prints for all its shows. The Hatch print for each artist can be purchased at the Ryman the night of their show. In one evening you can experience a great live act and go home with one of the most unique and pleasing posters made today. For a longtime resident or just a passer by, these venues are sure to please.

I recently went to see Rodrigo y Gabriela at the Ryman, and was blessed with one of the finest Hatch Show Prints that I've ever seen. It made the night that much better being able to have the surprise of not only a wonderful piece of art, but something that will help me remember one of the best shows I've ever had the pleasure to see. There's a reason why both spots have been around for so long and continue to thrive, and there's no reason why you shouldn't experience it all for yourself.
