Online Speaker Session: Charles Hughes, You Don’t Know My Mind: Country, Blues, and their Connections
Join us on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 for our virtual Speaker Session with Charles Hughes. No two kinds of music have a closer and more complex relationship than country and blues. With this Speaker Session, historian and author Charles L. Hughes will discuss the historical relationship between the two genres. Hughes will consider their shared roots, their continuing overlaps, and what the relationship between them tells us about the larger history of the United States.
