Musicians Hall Of Fame
The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum opened in Nashville June 9th, and honors those who have played and recorded with stars of all stripes, from
Located in an old warehouse just south of the city’s honky-tonk district, the hall is the brainchild of Joe Chambers, a Nashville songwriter and guitar store owner.
Instruments, photos, movies, recordings and other artifacts tell the story of session players and touring musicians from cities like Detroit, New York, Memphis, Los Angeles, Nashville and Muscle Shoals, Ala.
Several new members will be inducted into the hall each year, with other musicians – rather than industry execs – voting on nominees.
Besides the museum, the 30,000-square-foot complex also includes a performance hall, and a fully operating recording studio is in the works. A music school associated with the museum is already open, as well as a gift shop.
