A free concert will be held Monday at the Ryman Auditorium, former home of the Grand Ole Opry radio show, and broadcast Saturday on Country Music Television. Actor Tim Robbins will emcee. Performers will include Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, John Mellencamp, George Jones, Willie Nelson, and Brooks & Dunn.

A large number of news outlets are carrying this AP wire story, posted on Sunday afternoon. It is the only mention of the event that I can find, and the web site of the Ryman Auditorium gives no indication that such an event is scheduled. And it sounds suspiciously similar to the CMA awards show last week. So I don't know if it is actually happening.

But if it is, and if you are in within driving distance of Nashville, you owe it to yourself, and to those who are not, to attend this free concert.

And set your TiVo for Saturday.
