Hometown singer at the Ryman

Columbus native Chaley Jackson, a member of the cast of television’s “Nashville,” recently added another feather to her performance cap. She sang days ago at the famed and fabled Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, as part of a benefit for the African Children’s Choir. Jackson, known professionally in the entertainment world as Chaley Rose (her middle name), crooned the gospel classic, “Take My Hand, Precious Lord.”
