W I N T E R 2 0 1 4 | g o i n g p l a c e s 49 "W e're in the first phase now, but the second and third phases are coming," promises Joe Chambers, founder of the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum (MHFM). Not to be confused with the Country Music Hall of Fame, the MHFM, located on the first floor of the Nashville Municipal Auditorium, "honours all musicians regardless of genre or instrument." The museum opened in 2006 with displays of rare photos, recording studio set-ups and instruments once owned by greats such as Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. But beyond the famous faces of the superstars are the lesser-known musi- cians who served as their session players and house studio bands and whose sounds made hit recordings possible. As much as the stars, the MHFM honours the memories and contributions of these obscure artists. Each year the facility hosts its Hall of Fame induction ceremony, with the Class of 2014 including Winnipeg's own Randy Bachman, Peter Frampton and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Originally located on the site of the new Music City Center, the MHFM was temporarily closed between 2010 and 2013 while it was relocated to its present digs at 417 4th Ave. N. –J.C. musicianshalloffame.com Admission: adults (18 and up) U.S.$18.95; children (10-17) U.S.$10.95.
