Once in a while you stumble across an entertainer who is so engaging, so charismatic, so talented,
that you have to go back time and time again . Chelsea Field is one such entertainer . But as much as Chelsea enjoys writing and performing, she loves the connection with her audiences even more . “To hear that something I wrote or a performance I gave touched someone means everything to me,” she said . “That’s what my music is really all about, giving expression to love and loss, hopes and dreams, joy and sadness . Those are experiences and emotions we all have and if my music can help someone through a rough spot or give their joy wings, then I can’t ask for any more than that .”
Chelsea has become a regular opening act for such well-known artists as Big & Rich, Jason Aldean, Keith Anderson, Billy Currington, Dierks Bentley, Tracy Byrd, and Miranda Lambert, to name a few . On select dates, Chelsea will be making special appearances at Tequila Cowboy and the Wildhorse . Find Chelsea at www .chealseafield .net and at myspace .com/chelseafield .

are you looking for some good ole’ home cooking, exceptional Southern Hospitality and live entertainment that will have you singing along and tapping your feet? Then Nashville Nightlife is
definitely the place to go! We recently had the pleasure of a night out at the theater . We were warmly greeted at the door and given our tickets . We browsed the lobby area where we found unique, one-of-a-kind souvenirs and gifts . Before long, the hostess called our name and personally seated our party in the dinner theater . A smiling, friendly waitress took our beverage order and directed us to the buffet table . There we found a lovely salad bar and a first-class buffet with country fried chicken and ribs as their entrees that night, complete with all the fixins’ . Everything was homemade right down to the peach cobbler for dessert . I had the warm feeling of being in my grandma’s kitchen . Once the entertainment starts, I guarantee you will be dancing in your seat . We were treated to such a wide variety of music from Hank Williams Sr ., Patsy Cline, and
Conway Twitty to Sara Evans and Toby Keith . There is entertainment for the entire family . The “Best of Country” Dinner and Show, throughout their season, includes guest stars such as “Opry Star” Jeannie Seely, “The Fiddle Man” Tim Watson, Tommy Cash, Diana Murrell, Paula Poe (from the Tammy Wynette Show) and many others . This is a fantastic show you won’t want to miss! The standing ovation at the end of the show is an indication of the great time the audience had . Following the show there is a meet and greet with the performers . I would highly recommend that visitors to Nashville experience Nashville Nightlife where you will see the best of country from old to new . Come see why the Nashville Nightlife Dinner Theater presents a Dinner and Country Music Show voted the best combination in Nashville . Don’t miss this Nashville tradition . Located at 2416 Music Valley Drive in Music Valley Village across the street from the Gaylord Opryland Resort and the Grand Ole Opry . Call 615-885-4747 or 1-800-573-7973 for information and reservations or go to www .nashvillenightlife .com . Tour groups are welcome .

This isn’t just a museum; it’s an experience, an exciting and entertaining destination in Nashville with something for everyone . Rhinestone costumes,
seasoned instruments, and tear-stained lyric sheets are only the beginning . Add incredible architecture along with our famous hospitality, and a day at the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum turns into the memories of a lifetime . During your visit, you will experience the story of country music from its beginning with the exhibit, Sing Me Back Home: The Journey Begins, Folk Roots to the 1960s, and tracks its evolution in the exhibit, Dreaming My Dreams: The Journey Continues, 1960s to the Present . Through hundreds of artifacts, photographs, original recordings, and archival films, the ever-changing core exhibitions immerse the visitor in the history and sounds of country music’s early years . Artists represented include Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Bill Monroe, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Ray Prince, Roy Rogers, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and many others . While experiencing your favorite artists, be sure not to miss the limited engagement exhibits the Museum has to offer . You will be sure to enjoy Patsy Cline: Crazy for Loving You, a biographical exhibit open in the museum’s East Gallery through June 10, 2013 . The centerpiece of the exhibit is a powerful and moving film, created by museum staff, that includes new interviews with four Country Music Hall of Fame members-Harold Bradley, Brenda Lee, Willie Nelson and the Jordanaires’ Ray Walker-each of whom knew and worked with Cline; archival performance footage; and audio clips from Owen Bradley’s original three-track recordings of some of Patsy’s greatest performances . For the first time, the public will be able to hear Cline’s spine-tingling vocals, isolated without instrumental accompaniment, on “Crazy,” “Sweet Dreams” and other classics .
On the Museum’s second floor, don’t miss our popular exhibit, The Bakersfield Sound: Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and California Country . This exhibit explores the roots of West coast country and examines two of country music’s most respected, influential, and successful artists, Merle Haggard and Buck Owens . Emerging in the 1960s from the thriving Bakersfield, California music scene, Haggard and Owens became the best-known exponents of the distinctive “Bakersfield Sound,” the name given to
their sharp-edged, commercially-viable alternative to the smooth Nashville Sound . This exhibit will draw on the Museum’s rich collection of artifacts, vintage film footage, photos, costumes, and more to tell the story . In addition to your Museum tour, you can also experience Nashville’s only studio tour at Historic RCA Studio B . The studio provides a glimpse into the heart of Nashville music making during one of its most exciting and classic periods . “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” by Elvis Presley, “Kiss an Angel Good Morning” by Charlie Pride, “Only the Lonely” by Roy Orbison, and “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton are just a few of the milestone recordings that got their start at Studio B . (Historic RCA Studio B seats are limited, so book your tour today . Tours depart daily from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and are available only in conjunction with Museum admission . Roundtrip transportation to and from the studio on Music Row is included in your admission price .) Finish off the day shopping the extensive collection of hard to find country music CDs, DVDs, books, souvenirs, apparel, gifts, and more at the Museum Store . Also make plans to have lunch at the Museum’s full service restaurant, Two Twenty • Two Grill & Catering, featuring regional favorites with a contemporary spin . Don’t miss a chance to experience Nashville’s crown jewel, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum .

There is only one Music City, and today Nashville continues its emergence as a cultural, artistic and entertainment-rich
destination, filled with unique music, a myriad of art galleries, botanical gardens and greenways, historic homes, honky-tonks and culinary delights . There’s a whole host of attractions that have made Music City famous . The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which includes over a million artifacts exploring country’s connections to blues, R&B and pop, will also feature the temporary exhibit, The Bakersfield Sound: Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and California Country opening in March 2012 . Across the street stands the home of the Grammy-award winning Nashville Symphony, the dazzling $123 million Schermerhorn Symphony Center . Inspired by the greatest concert halls in the world, the 197,000-square-foot classically-
columned venue offers an unparalleled acoustical experience . Nashville has a pristine collection of antebellum estate mansions: Belle Meade, where a string of winning thoroughbreds was raised; The Hermitage, presidential home of Andrew Jackson; and Belmont Mansion, drenched in Victorian grandeur . Tour the beautifully-restored hilltop State Capitol building, then walk down to the Tennessee State Museum for an educational tour of the state’s history and culture . Dubbed the Athens of the South for its elegance, style and many academic institutions, Nashville claims a full-size replica of the Parthenon in Centennial Park, complete with the 42-ft high statue Athena, the tallest indoor sculpture in the western world . The Frist Center for the Visual Arts, an exquisitely converted Art Deco post office, hosts roving exhibitions changing every couple of months . The mansion at Cheekwood houses an extensive art gallery surrounded by 55 acres of divine gardens . What truly sets the city apart is the music . Music is the very heart of Nashville . Long recognized as the world’s capital of country music, Music City also boasts sounds of pop, rock, gospel, bluegrass, jazz, classical, contemporary Christian, blues and soul . Supported by rhythm tracks of culture and history, Nashville is uniquely and authentically “Music City .” In Nashville you can hear great music 24/7, 365 days a year . A great place to begin a tour is on Lower Broadway where honky tonks line the street . Here you’ll find evocative names like Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and Robert’s Western World, and you never know who you might see (or hear), a current star or the next big thing .
You’ll catch star-dusted pickers and songwriters all over town, in places like bluegrass venue Station Inn, the rockin’ Exit/In, the honky tonkin’ bars on Broadway, the song-centered Bluebird Café or the legendary Ryman Auditorium . Of course, the ultimate country venue is the Grand Ole Opry House, where legends and current stars perform on the nation’s longest-running live radio program . Eating and drinking are high on the list of priorities . Nashville’s palate offers everything from Southen fare to haute cuisine with quite literally everything in between . Here, a perfect barbecue is as celebrated as the most spectacular creation from any of the city’s award-winning chefs . Whether it’s a family-friendly meal, dinner and a show or a romantic repast, the city’s restaurants serve every dish with a side of Southern hospitality . With its charming mix of musical, historical and cultural flavors, Nashville is truly a city for all seasons and styles . So whether it’s listening to live music, soaking in the art scene, exploring history or simply relaxing, you’ll find many ways to enjoy Music City and discover why music calls us home .
