Pre-show party series on PNC Plaza with free live music; Brian Gaylord performs before Sons of Legion.
Brian Gaylord plays the Ryman Auditorium on Tuesday, Oct 20, as part of the Sidewalk Sessions, the Ryman's fall pre-show party series on the PNC Plaza. It's an outdoor set that runs before the main event inside, and it's free and open to the public.
Gaylord is an entertainer and PRCA rodeo cowboy who plays around 250 shows a year. He builds his sets around country music, storytelling, and energy, drawing on his authentic western lifestyle to put together a genuine country or western atmosphere. If you're into that side of country—the storytelling and the rodeo connection—this is right up your alley.
The Sidewalk Sessions are the Ryman's way of turning the plaza into a pre-show party. The series is billed as something almost as iconic as visiting the Ryman itself, with free live music, drinks at an outdoor bar and plenty of giveaways. It's a good way to spend the afternoon before the main show kicks off.

Gaylord takes the plaza first, and once he's done, Sons of Legion take the stage inside. The whole thing gets going at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, Oct 20, at the PNC Plaza, and since it's free and open to the public, you can just show up.
