I've only been to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville twice. The first time was back in 2007 for an Interpol show. It was an experience unlike any other. Though the Ryman has a big name, the venue is actually rather small and the stained glass and church pew seating give the place a comforting feel. Besides the venue itself, another great asset of the Ryman is Hatch Show Print. Hatch is one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in the United States and they make amazing concert prints for the Ryman. They're all made by hand with old-fashioned presses that press wood and metal images against the paper. My second trip to the Ryman was earlier this month when we saw Arcade Fire and I picked up another one of these great show prints.
Arcade Fire Print and a very cool video about Hatch Show Print after the jump.
This is the print Hatch did for the Arcade Fire show at the Ryman Auditorium on August 9, 2010.
and here is the previously mentioned very cool video:
