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 .

N othing says “Nashville” quite like a night at the Grand Ole Opry – the show that made country music famous—, and there’s no better season than autumn to visit the Opry Complex . With star-packed shows in both

September and October, plus the Opry’s birthday celebration throughout October, any given Opry show this fall is a must-see for folks visiting Music City . Opry shows in September will feature some of today’s biggest country music stars as well as all-time favorites, includ-ing Deana Carter, Terri Clark, Diamond Rio, Crystal Gayle, Hunter Hayes, Dustin Lynch, Craig Morgan, Marty Stuart, Thompson Square, and Mel Tillis . In October, the Opry is set to celebrate its birthday with weeks of special shows and events, and conveniently falls in the same month heralded as “country music month” from coast to coast . Among those confirmed to visit the Opry stage during its birthday month are the likes of Clint Black, Joe Diffie, Marty Stuart, and Steve Wariner, who will also perform a spe-cial birthday matinee concert on Saturday, October 5 . Fans can do it all that first weekend in October with the Grand Ole Opry Birthday Bash package, which includes a ticket to an evening Opry show as well as to Wariner’s matinee concert, and more . October will also feature special Opry Country Classics shows on Thursday evenings at the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville . These shows shine a spotlight on some of country music’s most-loved classic country songs that made many country music lovers fans . The shows include per-formances from today’s artists as well as popular legends of the genre, and guests will hear performances of classic songs such as “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Crazy,” and many others that perhaps inspired the artists performing them as they were making their own paths to country music stardom . Meanwhile, CMA award-winner Blake Shelton is set to welcome fans to the Opry House daily as the video host of

daytime Opry House Backstage Pass Tours, a one-of-a-kind experience that gives guests a look behind the scenes of country’s most famous show . For guests attending an Opry show this fall, a post-show tour is available and features video host Darius Rucker, the Opry’s most recently inducted mem-ber . To experience the Opry like a true VIP, the Opry has made available the Behind The Opry Curtain VIP Tour . Now guests can go backstage as preparations for the show are happening, see the inner workings of what goes on behind the scenes just before a show begins, and even stand backstage as the big red curtain goes up for the first performance of the night . Many of today’s biggest country music stars grace the Opry stage frequently, and can be heard saying what a special experience it is to play the storied stage . It all started back in 1925, when Nashville radio station WSM announcer George D . Hay introduced fiddle player Uncle Jimmy Thompson as the first performer on a new show called the “WSM Barn Dance” . Now in its 88th year, the show Hay started has launched countless country music careers and led the way for Nashville to become Music City . Early Opry performers such as Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, and Bill Monroe became musical founda-tions for the Opry during its years in residence at the historic Ryman Auditorium, later welcoming to the stage artists who would become entertainment icons in their own right, includ-ing Patsy Cline, George Jones, and Bill Anderson . Today, hundreds of thousands of people make pilgrim-ages from around the world to see and hear Opry greats including Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Loretta Lynn, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Riders In the Sky, Connie Smith, and Keith Urban . Millions of other fans tune in to enjoy the Opry via 650 AM WSM, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, syndicated radio, opry .com, or the Opry’s mobile app . Today’s fans also get more up-to-the-minute information and news by following the Grand Ole Opry on Facebook and Twitter . Not bad for 88!Happy Birthday, Grand Ole Opry!

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 .

DID YOU KNOW…Nashville’s Athena Parthenos is the tallest indoor sculpture in the Western world . She stands an impressive 42 feet high in the temple of the Parthenon .

DID YOU KNOW…Elvis recorded more than 200 of his songs at RCA’s Historic Studio B on Music Row . The red, blue and green lights found in the studio are a remnant from one of Elvis’s Christmas albums . Unable to get in the holiday spirit while recording in July, he was having trouble finishing the album .

The crew solved the problem by installing holiday-colored lights, putting up an artificial Christmas tree in the corner and cranking the air conditioner up as high as it would go to create the festive atmosphere .

DID YOU KNOW…Country singer Randy Travis was a cook and dishwasher at the Nashville Palace before he made it big .

DID YOU KNOW…Belle Meade Plantation was famous for breeding thoroughbred horses . Iroquois, bred at the Belle Meade Farm, was the first American horse to win the English Derby . In addition to Iroquois, there were

two other famous horses that can trace their lineage back to Belle Meade: Seabiscuit and War Admiral, both made popular again by the 2011 best-selling novel . For generations removed, the 1930’s horses were descendents of the sires of Bonnie Scotland, Belle Meade’s prize horse, making the family rivalry at the Plantation run deep .

DID YOU KNOW…Standard Candy Company, founded in 1901, created the GooGoo, a true Nashville delight marrying peanuts, caramel, marshmallow and milk chocolate together for a tasty cluster of candy .

Hepburn, and Bob Hope, as well as the Grand Ole Opry from 1943-1974 . Not surprisingly, in 2003, 2004, 2010 and 2011, the Ryman was named Theatre of the Year by Pollstar Magazine . Today, the Ryman is open for tours during the day and for concerts by artists of all genres at night .

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 .
