In anticipation of the International Bluegrass Music Association's World of Bluegrass Week (September 26-October 2 in Nashville), the museum presents a full day of bluegrass performances and workshops, featuring top players and a salute to Bill Monroe. Organized by Jim Hurst, an IBMA Guitarist of the Year recipient, the day will alternate between performances in the museum's Ford Theater and more intimate instrument workshops in the museum's SunTrust Community Room. In addition to Hurst, performers will include Chris Jones & the Night Drivers and IBMA award-winning bassist Missy Raines and her band, the New Hip. The day honors late country radio pioneers George and Marjorie Crump. For more details and a schedule of events, visit www.countrymusichalloffame.org. Included with museum admission.
