War Memorial Auditorium

Updated December 13, 2016
The War Memorial Building was built to honor Tennessee’s involvement in the First
World War (1917-1918). It commemorates the lives of 3,400 Tennesseans who fought
and died in the war.
Above the front steps to the entrance of War Memorial Auditorium, a carving reads:
AMERICA IS PRIVILEGED TO SPEND HER BLOOD AND HER MIGHT FOR THE
PRINCIPLES THAT GAVE HER BIRTH AND HAPPINESS AND THE PEACE WHICH
SHE HAS TREASURED.
This statement was made by President Woodrow Wilson on April 2, 1917 when he
realized that war is looming ahead and recommended congress to declare war against
imperial Germany.
In the decades since its dedication, the building’s exterior and the elegant acoustic hall
known as War Memorial Auditorium have served as the backdrop for some of the
region’s most significant military, political, and musical history.
War Memorial Auditorium’s emblem was designed by
renowned American sculptor and Nashville Native Belle
Kinney.
Before Legislative Plaza was constructed, rallies to send
and welcome home those who served in World War II
filled Capitol Boulevard in front of War Memorial
Auditorium.
War Memorial Auditorium was the fourth home to the
Grand Ole Opry (1939-1943).
On July 5, 1939, the Grand Ole Opry moved to War
Memorial Auditorium. For the first time, the Opry
charged a 25-cent admission in an effort to curb the
large crowds, but admission quickly rose to 50-cents.
During the years that War Memorial Auditorium was
home to the Grand Ole Opry (1939-1943), several music artists joined the Opry
Membership including Bill Monroe, Ernest Tubb and Minnie Pearl.
From WMA, the Grand Ole Opry made its
nationally-broadcast debut on NBC Radio on
October 14, 1939. A one hour broadcast of
The Prince Albert Show, the Opry's original
name after its sponsor, Prince Albert
Tobacco, was first hosted by Roy Acuff.
During the Nashville flood (May 4, 2010),
Grand Ole Opry performances were moved
from the Grand Ole Opry House to other
Nashville venues. The first public
performance of the Opry in its former home
since 1943 took place on May 4, 2010 at
War Memorial Auditorium.
War Memorial Auditorium was once the performance home for the Nashville Symphony
(1925-1980).
War Memorial Auditorium’s role in Nashville’s music scene has expanded over time. In
the 1950s, it served as a frequent stop on the African American Theater Circuit, often
called the “Chitlin’ Circuit,” and brought artists such as Ray Charles, The Five Satins,
and Bo Diddley to Nashville audiences.
President Lyndon B. Johnson (1964), President Richard Nixon (1960) and John F.
Kennedy (1960) all campaigned for presidency at War Memorial Auditorium.
On September 28, 1961, Martin Luther King, Jr. acknowledged Nashville’s leadership in
the Civil Rights movement, announcing from the War Memorial Auditorium stage that he
“came to Nashville not to bring inspiration, but to gain inspiration from the great
movement that has taken place in this community.”
War Memorial Building’s front steps served as the location for several Tennessee
inaugural ceremonies including, Governor Winfield C. Dunn, Governor Buford Ellington,
Governor Frank Clement and Governor Hill McAlister.
Hundreds of celebrity artists have performed at War Memorial Auditorium including Ray
Charles, KISS, Willie Nelson, Barry Manilow + Bette Midler, Them Crooked Vultures,
R.E.M., Elton John, The Avett Brothers, Frank Zappa, Mumford & Sons, Jason Mraz,
David Bowie performing as Ziggy Stardust, Ryan Adams, The Eagles, Arctic Monkeys,
Billy Joel, Modest Mouse, and more.
In 1953, BMI held its inaugural country
music awards ceremony at War Memorial
Auditorium.
Jim Croce performed one of his last
performances at War Memorial Auditorium
in 1973.
Charlie Daniels hosted the first ever
Volunteer Jam at War Memorial Auditorium
on October 4, 1974.
War Memorial Auditorium puts the spotlight
on emerging artists in a series of short films
entitled “The Attic Sessions,” in which
touring musicians discuss their song craft
and perform acoustically in The Attic
Lounge, a backstage space remodeled into
a hidden and distinctively Nashville room.
On March 29, 2013, Dolly
Parton and Kenny Rogers
filmed their music video You
Can’t Make Old Friends in War
Memorial Auditorium.
War Memorial Auditorium was
featured in Jewel's music video
for the 2010 single Satisfied.
War Memorial Auditorium
served as the backdrop of
Charles Kelley’s recent music
video for his 2015 hit song The
Driver, which also features Dierks Bentley and Eric Paslay.
On September 21, 2016, War Memorial Auditorium celebrated its 90-year anniversary of
its dedication by unveiling a historical marker by the Tennessee Historical Commission.
The marker stands at the corner of 7th Ave and Union St.
War Memorial Auditorium can accommodate a
maximum seating capacity of 400 on
