The Hatch brothers, known as CR and HH, founded Hatch Show Print in 1879. [7] [6] The first handbill they made was for Harriet Beecher Stowe’s brother, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. [7] [5]

From 1925 until 1992 Hatch was located behind Ryman Auditorium, which allowed for the company to begin making posters for country music singers such as, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Bill Monroe, Minnie Pearl, and more. [7] [6]

The brand was donated by Gaylord Entertainment in 1992 [8] to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and in 2013 Hatch Show Print moved inside the museum. [9] [10]

In 2019, Hatch designed 32 posters for NFL teams for the NFL draft [11] [12] and in the same month celebrated their 140th anniversary. [13] [5]
