“That was something for him to do that because he didn’t know me. And he put me in the Ernest Tubb Record Shop just about every Saturday night. Ernest Tubb helped me a lot.”

We turn 75 years old today. On May 3, 1947, Mr. Tubb opened the doors to his vision and no one could have known the impact he and the Ernest Tubb Record Shop would have on the music landscape. Tonight we celebrate Mr. Tubb with a very special Midnite Jamboree at 7pm. We have some great guests lined up and 75th merch that will be available during the Jamboree. Our doors open at noon and they will close at 6pm to get ready for the taping. The doors will re-open and 7pm and we'll all celebrate the way Mr. Tubb would have wanted, with world class musicians and some good old fashioned live music.

We would like to wish a very special 'happy birthday' to the beautiful Loretta Lynn.

ETRS would like to send out our condolences to Wil

ETRS would like to send out our condolences to Willie and the the entire Nelson family in regards to the passing of Bobbie Nelson.

Below is the statement from @willienelsonofficial:

Bobbie Nelson, Beloved Pianist, Musician, and Author, Passes Away

AUSTIN, Texas (March 10, 2022) -- From The Nelson Family: Bobbie Nelson passed away this morning, peacefully and surrounded by family. Bobbie was 91.

Her elegance, grace, beauty and talent made this world a better place. She was the first member of Willie’s band, as his pianist and singer. Our hearts are broken and she will be deeply missed. But we are so lucky to have had her in our lives. Please keep her family in your thoughts and give them the privacy they need at this time.

"It’s with great sadness that we share the news

"It’s with great sadness that we share the news that the Ernest Tubb Record Shop — building and business — will be sold.

Our goal has always been to protect, promote and preserve the great history of the record shop and building. That desire remains as strong today as ever. However, due to changes in circumstances out of our control, it's now clear the best way forward is to sell the business and the real estate.

We are heartbroken that the store, which has existed in its current location in the heart of lower Broadway since 1951, will close this Spring. Preserving the history and tradition of country music remains
at the forefront of everything we do. We remain committed to preservation work and look forward to new projects that will allow us to continue to protect and nurture the invaluable history and tradition of country music."

Willie and Waylon sat atop the country chart with 'Good Hearted Woman' on this day in 1976. The song would go on to earn Single of the Year at that year's

Here are a couple of cuties posing under the original ETRS neon housed at @tnstatemuseum. This is the sign that adorned the front of our building from its opening in 1947 until it was replaced in 1960. If you get a chance to check out the Tennessee State Museum we highly recommend it. And best of all, it's FREE.

Born on this day in 1929 was renowned Wrecking Crew drummer, Hal Blaine. As the backbeat of that collective, Hal was one of the most in-demand drummers in rock history. It would be a near impossible task to list all of the artists that he collaborated with and records he played on.

Hal's drums are on countless albums right here on our shelves. His career would land him in the Rock and Roll Hall in 2000 and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy in 2018. Sadly we lost Hal in 2019, but we know his music will forever live on.

On this day in 1959 the world lost Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper and pilot, Roger Peterson, in a plane crash.

The infamous day would later be know as 'The Day The Music Died'. The tragic event has been well documented. But, when you consider the burgeoning careers of the three young artists lost it really makes you wonder what could have been.

Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper were in their 20s and Ritchie Valens was just a teenager. Here is to three great musicians who gave us so much, but left us wanting much more.

Over the weekend the music world lost a legend and a one of a kind talent who helped shape the Nashville sound as a member of the Nashville A-Team.

Hargus “Pig” Robbins was 84 years old when he passed away Sunday. Pig began his keyboard session playing in 1957 and within two years he had his breakthrough as the keyboard player on George Jones' "White Lightning". That would be the start of a career that saw him play with an unbelievable list of artists that lasted over six decades.

Here is to a true pioneer and an unquestioned integral part of country music and Nashville history.
