Billy Strings & Bryan Sutton Ryman Auditorium | Nashville | September 14-15, 2025 | Concert Print

Step into the mystical atmosphere of Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium with this captivating fan-made art print, celebrating the legendary performances of Billy Strings & Bryan Sutton with Royal Marat in September 2025! This unique piece, titled 'The Listening Tree,' is a visual homage to the soulful energy of bluegrass and Americana music.

Inspired by the iconic Schaefer Ryman Auditorium, the artwork reimagines the historic stage with an Appalachian tulip poplar growing from its center, its crown subtly shaped like a guitar pick. The tree’s trunk rises to form a living portal within the ornate proscenium, while concentric rings behind its crown create a radiant mandala—a harmonious blend of a soundboard and a stained-glass rosette. Delicate, pick-shaped seed pods glow from the tree's branches, their 'seeds' transforming into the venue's iconic curved pew patterns, symbolizing the profound way music blooms from sound within this hallowed hall.

The print features deep night blues and warm amber tones, evoking a sacred hush before a downbeat. It cultivates an intimate, reverent, and quietly psychedelic mood, reminiscent of stepping into a night forest where the air itself listens. Discover subtle 'Easter eggs' woven into the design, such as fret-mark constellations, a miniature flat-top guitar silhouette, and abstract tri-star petals, all rendered with a beautiful woodcut-leaning, hand-drawn aesthetic.

Note from the artist:

The Listening Tree at the Mother Church: A Ryman Reverie

Step into the hushed reverence of the Ryman, reimagined through the mystic pulse of sound. This piece, which I've titled 'The Listening Tree,' springs from the very soul of the Schaefer Ryman Auditorium, transforming its iconic architecture into a living, breathing testament to music's power. Here, the grand proscenium arch frames an Appalachian tulip poplar, its crown subtly echoing a guitar pick, serving as a portal to a luminous mandala. This intricate rosette, crafted from concentric rings and jewel-toned facets—rubies, teals, and amethysts—is both a cosmic soundboard and a stained-glass ode, casting a warm, ethereal glow across the darkened hall.

Each detail is a whisper of the music itself: delicate, pick-shaped seed pods hang from the tree's branches, their falling 'seeds' unfurling into six luminous filaments that become the Ryman's iconic pews, blooming from the very sound. Fireflies orbit like constellations tracing fret marks, while guardian moths flutter near the light-source. A brook-like ribbon of light flows across the stage, a timeless journey threading through a carved bridge motif. I’ve woven in subtle nods to the craft, from a miniature flat-top guitar in the tree rings to the "615" laser-etched into a pew finial, honoring Nashville's deep musical roots.

My intention was to capture that sacred hush before a downbeat, an intimate and quietly psychedelic atmosphere where amber and honey tones radiate into a deep indigo night. It's like stepping into a forest where the air itself listens, where nature becomes the instrument, and the building a vessel for sound.
