It’s an immersive\, interactive museum with amazing sights and sounds!\n\nPanels focus on topics such as the development of the modern recording industry and the artists who recorded at the Bristol Sessions\, including Ernest V. Stoneman\, Alfred G. Karnes\, El Watson\, The Carter Family\, and Jimmie Rodgers. The Bristol Sessions were the first recordings of The Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers\, and they quickly became stars in the emerging “hillbilly” music industry. A timeline of audio technology introduces you to the different ways to produce and listen to music\, and the Variety & Voice gallery highlights the history and beauty of the iconic instruments that have created the recognizable sounds of country music. \nVisiting the core exhibits at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum is not a passive experience – we want you to explore the music through a variety of interactive and immersive experiences. Sound surrounds you throughout your visit. You can delve into local history to set the scene for the Bristol Sessions story\, and explore the sounds of the Sessions through clips of all of the songs issued by Victor Records from the Bristol recordings. In other parts of the gallery\, you can listen to the ways later musicians from Lead Belly to Nirvana have arranged some of these classic songs\, give those tunes new sounds at the mixing stations\, and belt out a song with family\, friends and fellow visitors at the sing-along station! \nYou can also engage in multiple film and theater experiences\, beginning with the Orientation Theater film “Bound to Bristol.” In the Greasy Strings Theater\, we explore the philosophy and techniques behind the playing of the 1927 Bristol Sessions recordings. You can take a pew in our small chapel to hear local gospel groups speak and sing about how faith has shaped music and our connection to it. The Immersion Theater makes you part of “the unbroken circle” – and gives you space to dance! Several shorter films explore oral histories of participants in the 1927 Bristol Sessions\, the career of Tennessee Ernie Ford\, and the impact of this music on TV and film. \n\nThe museum’s permanent exhibits won four awards at the 2015 Tennessee Association of Museums conference: Award of Excellence for Permanent Exhibits\, Award of Excellence for A/V – Mixing Station\, Award of Commendation for Chapel Film\, and the Past President’s Award of Excellence.

Originally\, window cards and other announcement posters were created to advertise upcoming entertainment events staged by troupes of traveling performers. By design\, they were printed on inexpensive paper or cardboard to last only a few months as they were nailed to telephone poles\, plastered onto the sides of buildings\, and placed in store windows. After the event\, most were discarded or left to deteriorate outdoors. This display features 52 rare\, original concert announcements\, dating back to as early as 1939\, that somehow survived over these many years. \nBased on the vast and wide-ranging collection of Tom Murphy\, the exhibit will give visitors a window into the careers and impact of numerous well-known musicians\, such as Roy Acuff\, Kitty Wells\, Flatt & Scruggs\, The Monroe Brothers\, Lulu Belle and Scotty\, Mac Wiseman\, Clarence “Tom” Ashley\, Jim and Jesse McReynolds\, and many others. The connection between many of these artists to early radio and barn-dance style shows – including Bristol’s very own Farm and Fun Time – is also explored. \nTours of the special exhibit “A Cardboard History of Blue Ridge Music” are included in the price of regular museum admission to the Birthplace of Country Music Museum\, or you may visit the special exhibit only at a reduced cost. Reduced museum admission pricing for seniors\, students\, active military\, and groups of 20 people or more are available. Additionally\, the museum is a participating member of Museums for All\, supporting those receiving food assistance (SNAP) benefits who may tour the museum for a minimal fee of $3 per person for up to four people. \n  URL:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/event/special-exhibit-a-cardboard-history-of-blue-ridge-music/ CATEGORIES:Museum,Special Exhibits ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2024_BCMM_CardboardHistory-Web-1.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
