"Sam's Place - Music for the Spirit" takes its name from charismatic evangelist Samuel Porter Jones (1847-1906), who gained fame in the region for his energetic sermons filled of fire and brimstone during the mid-1880s. On May 10, 1885, he led a tent revival in downtown Nashville for more than 5,000 which was attended by riverboat captain Thomas Green Ryman (1841-1904). Ryman experienced a conversion that night and, inspired by the multitude unable to find room under the tent, made it his mission to construct a great tabernacle "for all denominations" to join in worship. Seven years later, the Union Gospel Tabernacle opened its doors in 1892. It was Jones, while delivering Ryman's eylogy at the Tabernacle on Christmas Day in 1904, who proposed the building's name to be changed to Ryman Auditorium to thunderous agreement.To find out more information about Sam's Place, please click here.
