John Lewis Way S, Nashville, TN 37203 Nightfall at the Hall is the ultimate after-hours celebration exclusively for the museum’s Troubadour members, a community of young leaders, ages 21 to 45, who collaborate with other like-minded professionals in supporting their community and the museum.

Wyoming native Ian Munsick is a seasoned entertainer — having grown up tending cattle by day and playing music in a family band each night. He has toured with country music artists Morgan Wallen and Cody Johnson. Over the past three years, he has accumulated over half a billion global streams and has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow and more. Munsick’s 18-track second album, White Buffalo, encompasses tales of romance and ranch life, anthems with honky-tonk hooks and odes to family and youthful fun. The album’s duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson) was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022 and recently received gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America along with “Long Haul” from his debut album, Coyote Cry.
