Over the course of his near 50-year career, country music legend John Anderson, to the surprise of many, has never headlined Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. That all changed on Sunday, May 21, when the veteran singer-songwriter took the stage at the historic "Mother Church" of country music.

"The Ryman is one of my favorite places to perform, period," Anderson shared with The Tennessean prior to his concert. "Personally, it's a special deal for me."

Before a full house, Anderson slayed through hit after hit, performing classics such as "Swingin," "Seminole Wind," "Straight Tequila Night," "Money in the Bank" and many more.

“I was part of Waylon’s last album recorded there and have been a part of Marty Stuart's Late Night Jam a few times," says Anderson. "But to have a whole evening with my fans felt very special.“
