Ryman Auditorium To Revive 'Sam's Place' Gospel Series
Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium will soon revive the gospel music series “Sam’s Place,” which ran from 1994 to 1999.
Steven Curtis Chapman has signed on to host the “Sam’s Place—Music For The Spirit,” which launches Nov. 2 with Christian artists MercyMe and Tenth Avenue North. Future performers will include Danny Gokey, Amy Grant and Ray Stevens, Brandon Heath, Ricky Skaggs, Michael W. Smith, and Third Day.
Additional artists will be added to the series soon.
Christian radio network K-LOVE, which has more than 400 stations nationwide, will begin airing segments of the show next year.
Future show dates include Dec. 7, Jan. 11, Feb. 15, March 1 and April 5. Tickets for individual shows are priced at $27.50, $34.50, and $39.50. A portion of sales will benefit the charity Show Hope.
“Sam’s Place” is named after Sam Jones, an evangelist responsible for converting Thomas Ryman to Christianity in 1885. Ryman went on to build the Union Gospel Tabernacle, which was originally constructed as a venue for Jones to preach in. The venue was renamed the Ryman Auditorium in 1904.
