Join the Tennessee State Museum Foundation for a festive evening and musical showcase and television taping for the PBS series,  Jammin’ at Hippie Jack’s which is filmed and produced by noted Cumberland Plateau photographer Jack Stoddart. The show highlights the real-life journeymen of the music industry who typically play back-up, tour or write for some of today’s top-charting pop/country luminaries. Through live concerts and interviews, Stoddart’s program features these music professionals in the spotlight, where they perform and reminisce about their personal experiences with their iconic mentors.

The January taping features Tim Krekel, termed an American “original” by Natchez Trace Records, a new Nashville-based label. He has written many top songs for Martina McBride, Patty Loveless, Crystal Gayle, Delbert McClinton, and Kathy Mattea, among others. Krekel’s latest CD release, Soul Season, has been acclaimed on both coasts with critics citing its horn-fired rock-and-soul and his “sizzling” guitar expertise.

Sitting in on Krekel’s second set for a few songs will be Malcolm Holcombe, a raspy-toned gypsy troubadour, who has been compared to John Prine and Tom Waits in his distinctive story telling style. Marshall Chapman, another talented Krekel co-writer, will join him on stage for their collaboration, “I Love Everybody.”

The evening’s festivities are presented in part by Piedmont Natural Gas of Nashville and by a grant from the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to showcase original Americana musicians and songwriters to audiences in our Volunteer State.
