Convention center to house Songwriters Hall of Fame

Posted:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame has a permanent home at the city's new convention center.

Mayor Karl Dean announced Thursday that the hall will be located in a lobby and will feature artifacts and 55-inch interactive video screens.

Dean called songwriters the unsung heroes of the city's country music industry and called the new Music City Center a fitting space to showcase and honor their creativity.

Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Foundation board chairman John Van Mol said the slogan "It all begins with a song" is a basic truth of the music industry.
