Tomorrow, February 4th is the Fifth annual Free Admission Day at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. If the word “Free” isn’t enough to get you downtown, the list of events for the day might help out. Hunter Hayes, whose top 15 hit “Storm Warning” will be performing and signing autographs. If you don’t know who Hayes is, ask any pre-teen girl. The 21 year old country music heartthrob has been performing since the age of 4, and wrote his first song at the age of 6. He moved to the Country Music Capitol of the World three years ago. The Oak Ridge Boys will also be signing autographs. With events for the kids such as hands on musical instruction as well as free admission to the museum this is a perfect opportunity to expose your family to the roots of that which we Nashville Natives are so known for: Country Music.

Open from 9am to 5pm the Country Music Hall of Fame has been gathering iconic memorabilia from the lives of Country Music stars since 1967. The visually stunning $37 million dollar building that currently houses the accredited collection was dedicated in May of 2001 and sits just steps away from the historic Ryman Theater and the honky-tonks of Broadway. All these landmarks have helped generate millions of dollars of revenue for the City of Nashville, provided down-home attractions for tourists, and a reminder to never forget what makes this great city of ours so well known.

Hunter Hayes will be performing at 2pm. The Oak Ridge Boys and Hunter Hayes will be signing autographs at 3pm. There will also be an 11am demonstration by the Hatch Show Print Staff, a behind the scenes look into American Letterpress: the Art of Hatch Show Print, the current travelling exhibit on display in the museum. This Saturday, February 4th is a perfect time to experience Nashville through the eyes of a tourist all over again, and do it for free!
