Springer Mountain Farms presents Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman. Doc Watson

Experience the best in bluegrass on the very stage where bluegrass was born over 60 years ago. The Ryman Auditorium, the Mother Church Of Country Music and the home of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974, is sacred to the history of country music. Especially important to the history of the Ryman is its significant role in the history of bluegrass music. Although Bill Monroe had been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1939, it wasn't until a Saturday night in December of 1945 when bluegrass music as we know it today was born when a twenty-one year old young man by the name of Earl Scruggs stepped up to the WSM microphone on the Ryman stage playing the five-string banjo with a three-finger roll. This was the final ingredient in what we now know as bluegrass music.

Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award-winner Arthel “Doc” Watson is widely known as one of the bluegrass greats. Recognized for his flatpicking and fingerpicking styles and range of genres from folk to gospel, Watson has won seven Grammy awards. He has also been inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor.
