Hatch Show Print
Best Print Shop in Nashville · TN
Letterpress posters since 1879
Hatch Show Print has been pulling letterpress posters in Nashville since 1879, making it one of the oldest working print shops in America. Its bold woodblock-and-metal-type handbills advertised the Grand Ole Opry, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, and generations of country, blues, and rock performers, and the shop still designs and prints by hand from an archive of 19th- and 20th-century blocks.
Now operated as part of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Hatch welcomes visitors into a living workshop: a retail gallery of restrikes and original designs up front, working presses in back, and guided tours that trace how American show posters were — and still are — made.
