'Steven Tyler Day' to be proclaimed in Nashville

Nashville mayor David Briley plans to proclaim May 10 "Steven Tyler Day" — and the Aerosmith frontman will be on hand to celebrate in Music City.

Tyler will be in town for the premiere of the new documentary, "Steven Tyler: Out on a Limb," which will open the 49th annual Nashville Film Festival that evening.

Two days later, Tyler will play a concert at Nashville's Woods Amphitheater at Fontanel on Saturday, May 12.

"Out on a Limb" follows the rocker's daring move to make a solo country album in Nashville — 2016's "We're All Somebody From Somewhere."

In a press release, Tyler he was honored to have his own day in Nashville, and to have the film open this year's festival.

"Nashville is a key part of my musical journey and has had an influential place in my career, so this recognition from the city is a tremendous honor."

Tyler received another big honor in Nashville just a few months ago. In December, the Nashville Symphony presented him with the Harmony Award at the annual Symphony Ball.
