The “Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman” series has been celebrating the history of bluegrass music since its inception in 1994, playing a significant role in the revival of the Ryman Auditorium post-renovation. Over the years, it has become a key event in honoring the legacy of bluegrass pioneers, including Bill Monroe, commemorated with a life-size statue on the Ryman’s Icon Walk in 2017.
