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.

Both exhibits are a wonderful way to learn about and celebrate this historic milestone in our nation’s history\, and they come with a variety of learning resources for families\, teachers and students\, and interested visitors (see below). \n\n \nVotes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence\nThe story of women’s suffrage is a story of voting rights\, of inclusion in and exclusion from the franchise\, and of our civic development as a nation. Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment and explores the complexity of the women’s suffrage movement and the relevance of this history to Americans’ lives today. \nThe crusade for women’s suffrage is one of the longest reform movements in American history. Between 1832 and 1920\, women citizens organized for the right to vote\, agitating first in their states or territories and then\, simultaneously\, through petitioning for a federal amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Based on the National Portrait Gallery exhibition of the same name\, Votes for Women seeks to expand visitors’ understanding of the suffrage movement in the United States. The poster exhibition addresses women’s political activism\, explores the racism that challenged universal suffrage\, and documents the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment which prohibits the government from denying U.S. citizens the right to vote on the basis of sex. It also touches upon the suffrage movement’s relevance to current conversations on voting and voting rights across America. \nVotes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery. This project received support from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative. The Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative\, Because of Her Story is one of the country’s most ambitious undertakings to research\, collect\, document display and share the compelling story of women. It will deepen our understanding of women’s contributions to the nation and the world. More information about the initiative is available at womenshistory.si.edu. \nThe image used in the header graphic is Equality Is the Sacred Law of Humanity\, c. 1903–1915; Lithograph by Egbert C. Jacobson Courtesy of Schlesinger Library\, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study\, Harvard University \n \nTo Make Our Voices Heard: Tennessee Women’s Fight for the Vote\nTo Make Our Voices Heard: Tennessee Women’s Fight for the Vote\, a new traveling exhibition created by the Tennessee State Museum and the Tennessee State Library and Archives\, explores the history of the woman’s suffrage movement\, Tennessee’s dramatic vote to ratify the 19th Amendment in 1920\, and the years that followed. \nThe exhibition offers a touch-free experience of archival images\, engaging stories\, and introductions to the leaders of the fight for and against the cause of woman’s suffrage. The stories begin by detailing the early challenges of racial and gender discrimination and continuing to the organization of African American and white women’s associations to encourage political engagement. Visitors will also learn about Febb Burn of McMinn County\, whose letter to her son\, Harry T. Burn\, resulted in a last-minute vote that helped change women’s history in the United States forever. The exhibit includes a Tennessee map\, highlighting suffragist activities across the state. \nTo Make Our Voices Heard: Tennessee Women’s Fight for the Vote was organized by the Tennessee State Library and Archives and the Tennessee State Museum with funding provided by The Official Committee of the State of Tennessee Women’s Suffrage Centennial. This project was also funded in part by a grant from Humanities Tennessee\, an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. \n\nCalling All Local and Amateur Historians! \nThe Birthplace of Country Music Museum is also hoping to create a small display about women’s suffrage in our region. Do you have any photographs\, articles\, ephemera\, etc. related to women’s right to the vote or their exercise of that right – past or present – in Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee? If so\, please get in touch with Head Curator Rene Rodgers at rrodgers@birthplaceofcountrymusic.org. \n\nEducational Resources\nMany of the Smithsonian’s museums and other educational institutions have developed materials to commemorate the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution\, and to broaden our understanding of U.S. history through the stories of women. The Tennessee State Museum has also created a website devoted to providing educational content focused on women’s suffrage. \nPlease click on the link below to view the educational resources for these poster exhibits. \nClick Here for Educational Resources URL:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/event/poster-exhibits-centennial-of-american-womens-suffrage/ CATEGORIES:Exhibits,Museum,Special Events,Special Exhibits ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2020_BCMM_WomensSuffrageExhibits_Web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200929 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210329 DTSTAMP:20240328T135140 CREATED:20200921T040000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210616T150055Z UID:10028533-1601337600-1616975999@birthplaceofcountrymusic.org SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Honky Tonk DESCRIPTION:Honky Tonk: Portraits of Country Music\, 1972-1981\, a special exhibit of photographs by Henry Horenstein. \nDates: September 29\, 2020 – March 28\, 2021 \nLocation: Special Exhibits Gallery\, Birthplace of Country Music Museum \nIn the 1970s\, photographer Henry Horenstein shot album covers for upstart bluegrass label Rounder Records. But in his off-hours\, he soon became unofficial photographer to the culture of country musicians great and small\, and their dedicated fans. It’s a world that looks quite a bit like country songs sound: full of hard-working operators and lonely dreamers\, half-full glasses and scorpion belt buckles\, and a few tall hats\, boots\, and bottles as well. It’s the world of the honky tonk. \nA candid\, affectionate glimpse into the real country music scene as it was performed and lived\, Honky Tonk: Portraits of Country Music\, 1972—1981 is a parade through the early years of future great performers like Dolly Parton and Del McCoury\, and already established legends like Mother Maybelle Carter and Don Stover. It is a time capsule of an important era in country music set within family music parks and music festivals\, the Grand Ole Opry\, and Nashville’s Tootsies and other well-loved honky tonks. Horenstein’s lively portraits of the community preserve the scene where musicians and fans\, cowboys and townies\, converged to step out\, strum\, and strut their stuff. \nThe museum will be offering a variety of educational and engaging public programming to accompany the Honky Tonk exhibit. Keep an eye on our website or subscribe to our eNewsletter to learn more! \nSpecial thanks to the Massengill-DeFriece Foundation for their support of the exhibit at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum. \nAbout Henry Horenstein\nHenry Horenstein has been a professional photographer\, filmmaker\, teacher\, and author since the 1970s. He studied history at the University of Chicago and earned his BFA and MFA at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)\, where he studied with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. \nHenry’s work is collected and exhibited internationally\, and he has published over 30 books\, including several monographs of his own work such as Histories\, Show\, Honky Tonk\, Animalia\, Humans\, Racing Days\, Close Relations\, and many others. He has also authored Black & White Photography\, Digital Photography\, and Beyond Basic Photography\, used by hundreds of thousands of college\, university\, high-school\, and art school students as their introduction to photography. His Shoot What You Love serves both as a memoir and a personal history of photography over the past 50 years. \nIn recent years\, Henry has been making films: Preacher\, Murray\, Spoke\, Partners\, and Blitto Underground\, which will premier this fall (2021). Henry is professor of photography at RISD and lives in Boston. \n\nA special message from Eddie Stubbs\, Grand Ole Opry announcer\n \n\nSpecial Collection by Hard Rock\nA supplementary display related to honky tonk music\, including A Selection of Hard Rock’s Country Music Memorabilia and several objects sourced from local collectors and other museums\, will be included with the exhibit. Other programming related to the Honky Tonk special exhibit will be introduced at a later date. \n \nClick here to learn more about the Hard Rock display.

Like more than 175\,000 other young men\, Ezra chose his family–not because he was a coward or a pacifist\, but because he was practical and because he felt his Christian faith called him to do so. Hiding Ezra is also a love story\, as we see the girl of his dreams\, Alma Newton\, try to figure out how to extricate Ezra from his predicament. Finally\, Hiding Ezra is the story of an adventure\, a quest\, and a chase as the authorities–including local boy Lieutenant Andrew Nettles–try to bring Ezra to military justice. \nAbout Rita Sims Quillen\nRita Quillen’s novel Hiding Ezra was released in March\, 2014 from Little Creek Books; it was a finalist in the 2005 DANA Awards competition\, and a chapter of the novel is included in a scholarly study of Appalachian dialect published by the University of Kentucky Press entitled Talking Appalachian. \nRita was one of six semi- finalists for the 2012-14 Poet Laureate of Virginia\, her poetry received a Pushcart nomination as well as a Best of the Net nomination in 2012.

It’s a world that looks quite a bit like country songs sound: full of hard-working operators and lonely dreamers\, half-full glasses and scorpion belt buckles\, and a few tall hats\, boots\, and bottles as well. It’s the world of the honky tonk. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, November 17 at 7:00 p.m. for a Conversation with Henry Horenstein\, including audience Q&A. This event will offer insight into Horenstein’s honky tonk images currently on display at the museum\, his inspirations and influences throughout his career\, and the wide variety of subjects he’s photographed over the years.

From Maybelle Carter to Dolly Parton\, k.d. lang to Taylor Swift—these artists provided pivot points\, truths\, and doses of courage for women writers at every stage of their lives. Whether it’s Rosanne Cash eulogizing June Carter Cash or a seventeen-year-old Taylor Swift considering the golden glimmer of another precocious superstar\, Brenda Lee\, it’s the humanity beneath the music that resonates. \nHere are deeply personal essays from award-winning writers on femme fatales\, feminists\, groundbreakers\, and truth tellers. Acclaimed historian Holly George Warren captures the spark of the rockabilly sensation Wanda Jackson; Entertainment Weekly‘s Madison Vain considers Loretta Lynn’s girl-power anthem “The Pill”; and rocker Grace Potter embraces Linda Ronstadt’s unabashed visual and musical influence. Patty Griffin acts like a balm on a post-9/11 survivor on the run; Emmylou Harris offers a gateway through paralyzing grief; and Lucinda Williams proves that greatness is where you find it. \nPart history\, part confessional\, and part celebration of country\, Americana\, and bluegrass and the women who make them\, Woman Walk the Line is a very personal collection of essays from some of America’s most intriguing women writers. It speaks to the ways in which artists mark our lives at different ages and in various states of grace and imperfection—and ultimately how music transforms not just the person making it\, but also the listener. \nAbout Holly Gleason\nHolly Gleason is a Nashville-based writer and artist development consultant. She’s written for Rolling Stone\, The LA Times\, NY Times\, Oxford American\, No Depression\, PASTE\, Lone Star Music\, Texas Music\, Spin\, Musician\, CREEM\, Interview\, PLAYBOY\, The Palm Beach Daily News The Vineyard Gazette\, Tower Pulse\, Request\, Rockbill\, Bam\, Rock & Soul and Mix.

Mama\, however\, won’t acknowledge who Cent’s become\, even though she’s repeatedly been shown the truth. \nIt’ll take more than popcorn strings and paper snowflakes to heal the rift that’s formed between Cent and Mama.

Songs such as “Your Cheatin’ Heart\,” “Hey\, Good Lookin’\,” and “Jambalaya” sold millions of records and became the model for virtually all country music that followed. But by the time of his death at age twenty-nine\, Williams had drunk and drugged and philandered his way through two messy marriages and out of his headline spot on the Grand Ole Opry. Even though he was country music’s top seller\, toward the end he was so famously unreliable that he was lucky to get a booking in a beer hall. \nColin Escott’s enthralling\, definitive biograph — now the basis of the major motion picture I Saw the Light — vividly details the singer’s stunning rise and his spectacular decline\, revealing much that was previously unknown or hidden about the life of this country music legend. \n  URL:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/event/radio-bristol-book-club-9/ CATEGORIES:Book Club,Radio Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2019_Radio_RBBookClub_WEB.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210129 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210130 DTSTAMP:20240328T135140 CREATED:20210127T050000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210127T050000Z UID:10021425-1611878400-1611964799@birthplaceofcountrymusic.org SUMMARY:Virtual Story Time DESCRIPTION:Gather the family around the screen for the premiere of an all-new Virtual Story Time where we’ll read from Hello\, I’m Johnny Cash by author G.

Traditionally the role and widespread recognition of women in country music has been relegated to a handful of “superstars” who rose to fame in the 1960s and 1970s. But female country artists have been making recordings since the beginnings of country music recording. The impact of these pioneering artists has been somewhat overshadowed by flashier\, pop-oriented female artists in recent years\, but without these trailblazing recordings\, the country music industry as we know it would not exist. With this talk\, Bailey George will take a look at some of the forgotten female artists\, musicians\, writers\, and performers from days long before there were coal miner’s daughters or many-colored coats. \nBailey George has been collecting and researching vintage music since he was 11 years old. He is the host of the popular Honky Tonk Hit Parade on Radio Bristol\, playing country music from the 1940s and 1950s every Wednesday\, 3:00–5:00pm. In addition to his archival work and his time on-air\, Bailey also performs in a duo with Jessica Stiles as “Bailey George and Jukebox Jess.” \n“Before Coal Miner’s Daughters and Multi-Colored Coats: Pioneering Women in Country Music” is free and open to the public\, but please register to attend below.
