On Sunday, May 4, the Morrison Hotel Gallery will celebrate a new series of music photography at the Bluebird Cafe, with a day of music stories told by music photographer Henry Diltz and Peter Blachley. The gallery will cover the walls of the Bluebird Cafe and will represent more than 80 music photographers. A spotlight show featuring Blachley and Diltz begins at 6 p.m. on May 4. Tickets can be purchased at ticketsnashville.com.

Singer-songwriter Holly Williams will join the celebration by offering prints of these photos for purchase through her clothing boutique, H. Audrey, located across the street from The Bluebird Cafe. These archival printed, signed (or estate signed) editions and framed photographs will be exhibited through Sept. 21, 2014.
Morrison Hotel Gallery (MHG) was founded in 2001 by former record company executive Blachley, retail music industry professional Richard Horowitz, and photographer Diltz. In 2012, author, director and photographer Timothy White joined the team, launching an additional West Coast Gallery at The Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood.
