The Country Music Hall of Fame [1] (222 5th Ave. S., 615/416-2100, www.countrymusichalloffame.com [2]) hosts concerts, readings, and musical discussions regularly in an auditorium located inside the hall. These daytime events are often aimed at highlighting one type of country music or another, but sometimes you’ll find big names playing.
Admission is free with your paid admission to the hall, so it is a good idea to plan your trip to the hall on a day when there’s a concert scheduled (separate admission to concerts is not available). Check the website for a listing of upcoming events.
