Ringo Starr: Will play at the Ryman on 7/7, traditional 'Peace and Love' birthday at Hard Rock Nashville (Nashville Scene)


Ringo Starr to Play The Ryman on July 7, Celebrate His Birthday at Hard Rock Cafe Nashville

POSTED BY D PATRICK RODGERS ON FRI, FEB 17, 2012 AT 3:07 PM


Perhaps because he recently caught wind of his Nashville-residing imposter (not really an imposter), Richard "Ringo Starr" Starkey has announced that he'll bring his All-Starr Band to Music City's Ryman Auditorium on July 7.

And in case you haven't memorized all of The Beatles' birthdays — as I may or may not have done as an adolescent — July 7, 2012, will be Ringo's 72nd birthday. Tickets will range in price from $45 up to $225 for VIPs, and will go on sale right here Friday, Feb. 24, at 10 a.m. So nothing out of the ordinary there.

There is, however, a mildly strange little nugget in this press release. Allow me, with a little help from our friends at The Ryman, to share said nug:

  At noon on the day of the show Ringo will be at the Hard Rock Cafe Nashville, where he will continue his tradition of recent years by asking those around the world to join him in a wish for Peace & Love.
