Directions

When to go

Go by day to dig through vinyl in the second-floor shop, then catch the street-level stages.

Insider tip

The shop moved to 417 Broadway in 1951 and was the home of the Midnite Jamboree; WSM currently airs Opry reruns in the Jamboree's slot, so don't expect the live broadcast.

Heads up

Volatile: it reopened, closed and reopened again between Nov 2025 and May 2026, so check before you go.
