The Ryman Auditorium and Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame have collaborated on a new exhibit, Rock Hall at the Ryman, showcasing the Ryman’s mark on rock & roll history.

Now open to the public, Rock Hall at the Ryman honors the 100+ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees who have performed on the Ryman stage throughout its 130-year history. The exhibit features a selection of inductees, including James Brown, The Byrds, Eric Clapton, Foo Fighters, Joan Jett and Dolly Parton, in addition to icons such as Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Hank Williams, who were early practitioners of what would become rock & roll.

Housed in the Ryman’s newly-transformed 5th Avenue vestibule, the exhibit features instruments, stage costumes and personal artifacts, including Clapton’s “Blackie” model Fender Stratocaster guitar, Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins‘ outfit worn during a performance to induct Rush at the 2013 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Jett’s red latex halter bra top worn onstage at Vans Warped Tour ’06, and Presley’s full-length belted suede coat worn c. 1970.

Entry to Rock Hall at the Ryman is included in all daytime tour tickets at the Ryman, which also includes a souvenir photo on stage, Soul of Nashville immersive theater experience, and other exhibits.

In celebration of the new exhibit, the Ryman will host a variety of shows featuring Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Members U2’s Bono (Nov. 9), Lynyrd Skynyrd (Nov. 13), Smokey Robinson (Dec. 16), and a three-night residency with John Mellencamp (May 8-10), with more to be announced.

Earlier this year, the Ryman was designated as an official Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Landmark and joined 11 other rock institutions throughout the country, including Austin City Limits and Whisky a Go Go, among others.

Warner Chappell Music has announced the signing of pop singer-songwriter Patrick Droney to a global publishing deal.

A native of South Jersey, Droney was a musical child who became enamored by New York City. He frequently gigged in Manhattan clubs and eventually attended the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU. Droney moved to LA and signed a publishing deal before relocating to Nashville in 2018 to make his self-titled EP.

He signed to Warner Records in 2019 and released his debut album State of the Heart in 2021. Droney played sold out shows across the country throughout 2022 and appeared on festivals such as Bonnaroo, Jazz Aspen and Hyde Park with the Eagles.

Of the deal with Warner Chappell, Droney shares, “I approach storytelling with reverence, and in regards to songwriting, believe that our unique truth is our power. Representing this truth in song connects the world intrinsically, as we all embody the same, but different, quintessence. There’s a responsibility here to help people articulate their states of heart and I’m proud to be working with the amazing team at Warner Chappell who champion this pursuit everyday.”

“Patrick has become a force to be reckoned with. His timeless and evocative lyrics transcend genres and deeply connect with listeners. We’re excited he’s entrusted us to be on this journey with him,” says Christina Wiltshire, Senior Director, A&R, WCM Nashville.

Spencer Nohe, Senior Director, A&R, adds, “Patrick is a writer’s writer and an artist’s artist. He is an exceptionally prolific talent who continues to raise the bar for himself and deliver timeless records. It’s an honor he’s entrusted us to partner with him for this next chapter of his career.”
