NASHVILLE (CelebrityAccess) – Springer Mountain Farms’ “Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman” returns to Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium for its 30th year starting Thursday (June 13) and will continue on Thursday nights through July 25. The series kicks off with Del McCoury Band, followed by Steep Canyon Rangers with Lindsay Lou, The Earls of Leicester, Della Mae with Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley, and Dailey & Vincent, leading up to the final night with a performance from Country Music Hall of Fame Member and 14-time Grammy Award-winner Ricky Skaggs.
Season passes include all six shows and are on sale now. Single tickets go on sale Friday (February 23). All shows begin at 7:30 pm CT and will be preceded by a 6 pm CT pre-show “Pickin’ on the Plaza” event on the Ryman’s PNC Plaza, featuring live music from local bluegrass artists and bands presented by WSM Radio.
“Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman” was first introduced in 1994, after the Ryman underwent renovation and reopened its doors after sitting vacant for nearly two decades after the Grand Ole Opry relocated to its new home. The first of what would become its annual series featured Bill Monroe and Alison Krauss. Now, 30 years later, the Ryman continues to celebrate bluegrass music’s contribution to music history with artists and fans alike. The venue honors Monroe’s legacy with a life-size statue on site, unveiled in 2017.
