The Read
Sawyer Brown brings the kinetic end of '80s and '90s country to a building better known for reverence. That mismatch is useful: the Ryman can sharpen the band's harmonies without requiring Mark Miller to stand still.
The Venue
Ryman Auditorium
116 5th Ave N
The best-sounding hall in American music. A riverboat captain built it as a tabernacle in 1892, the pews are the originals, and artists talk about getting to play here the way athletes talk about a title.
