Tommy Griffith is a modern approach to classic style country, complete with smooth, effortless vocals and well-crafted lyrics with solid instrumentation that meets at the dusty crossroads of traditional country and rock From the small mountain town of Cramer, Pennsylvania, Tommy Griffith has hard work and the highway in his DNA An auto mechanic by trade, Griffith left the garage for the guitar in 2008 and headed to Nashville to the bright light lure of the honky-tonk stages where he began writing and recording for his first album Griffith’s self-titled EP is a brew of country and Americana with a drop of rock and roll, and bears six original tracks written by Griffith that fire on all eight cylinders The unconventional project was recorded to tape in a vintage analog recording studio in Nashville to create a warm, organic sound Griffith’s evolution as a musician and songwriter is present in “Let It Burn” and “Don’t Blame Me Amy,” two songs that showcase Griffith’s signature style of a modern day approach to the classic outlaw-style country, complete with a tip of the hat to Merle Haggard and Buck Owens  ]]>

Start Time(s):

"This time, I really wanted to do something different," says Darius Rucker "I went straight from my first album into my second, and it really just picked up where the other one left off So when we went into the studio on this one, we really wanted to take our time and not even start worrying about a record until we had songs that we felt were the right ones And when I heard what would become the lead single, 'True Believers,' played back, I thought, 'Wow, I've never done anything like that before!'" “True Believers,” also the name of his 2013 headlining tour, is a triumphant reflection of the rewards and challenges of sustaining a marriage - was the first song recorded for this project and became the first single and title track for Rucker's third and most ambitious country studio album While his previous two albums, Learn To Live and Charleston, SC 1966 both topped the Billboard Country Album chart and produced five Number One singles, on True Believers he opted to dig deeper, work with new collaborators, and create something more resonant both musically and emotionally "I just started with a list of guys I wanted to write with," says Rucker "The process doesn't really change - you go off in a corner and write - but I really wanted to try not to write 'Alright' again And I'm very happy with what we got I love the song choices, the sound is brighter, and even though I'm not big on listening to myself, I'm really proud of the vocals on this record" Rucker, who first attained multi-platinum status as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Hootie & the Blowfish, wrote ten of the twelve tracks on True Believers - ranging from the feel-good sing-along "Radio" to the sophisticated narrative of "Shine" He expresses special pride in the raw and realistic sentiments of songs like "Miss You" and "I Will Love You Still," a duet with young powerhouse vocalist Mallary Hope ("I don't write a lot of break-up songs," he says, "but on that one, I think there's a whole new freshness to the pain in my voice") The two songs Rucker didn't have a hand in writing are both major events of their own "Love Without You" features Sheryl Crow, with whom Rucker had wanted to record ever since they sang together at a VH1 function almost twenty years ago For his version of the popular Old Crow Medicine Show song "Wagon Wheel," initially based on a sketch by Bob Dylan, Rucker, never expecting them to say yes, invited his tour partners and Capitol Records labelmates Lady Antebellum into the studio With the latter serving as his current single, Rucker says, "they took the whole song three steps up" The singer is quick to give credit where it's due for the fact that all of these elements hang together so cohesively on True Believers For the third time, Frank Rogers served as producer for a Darius Rucker album, along with co-writing three songs "Frank's the guy," says Rucker "He just gets what I want to do He's my George Martin - not to compare myself to the Beatles, but I want him to do everything I do" Since re-introducing himself to the world as a country artist, Rucker has had a truly remarkable few years In 2008, he released Learn to Live; the album's first single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," made him the first African American with a Number One country song since Charley Pride in 1983 It was followed by two more singles that topped the chart - "It Won't Be Like This For Long" and "Alright" - and earned him the New Artist award from the Country Music Association His 2010 follow-up, Charleston, SC 1966, included two more Number Ones, "Come Back Song" and "This" Recently, Rucker was nominated for the CMA's Musical Event of the Year award for his performance of “Stuck on You” with Lionel Richie, and in October, he achieved a childhood dream when he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry Asked if he can believe the unprecedented success of his second career, Rucker just laughs "From where I was five years ago to the CMA’s and the Grand Ole Opry, why would I believe that?," he says "I didn't even know if country radio was going to play my song, but you can’t think about things like that” With the twelve songs on True Believers, Darius Rucker takes his accomplishments to impressive new heights Staying true to the real-life stories that define country music, he has crafted an album that is consistent and complex, full of joy, pain, and passion Now Rucker is looking forward to the next chapter - bringing these new songs to the stage "When I cut a record, I really think about what it will be like to play live," he says "We're already doing some of these - 'Radio,' 'Shine,' 'Wagon Wheel' - and I can't wait to start playing a song like 'Heartbreak Road' These songs were all fun to play in the studio, even just as a jam session, and that's what it's all about If I don't have fun, I know that the audience won't So when I make a record, I look for songs that I'll want to play for the rest of my life" Show starts approx 8PM Dinner available Ticket Proceeds benefit St Jude Children's Research Hospital]]>

Candid and down to earth, with a room-filling smile and a voice that echoes the heart of what she sings, Kristen laughs as she describes her music as “a little more grease than polish” And that grease is an exciting mix, distilled from her country, blues, and classic rock influences into a passionate, playful, often sexy, and always heartfelt reflection of real life as she knows it “I have a hard time singing or writing about something I can’t relate to,” she says, and that philosophy is front and center on her Arista Nashville debut album, co-produced by nine-time CMA Award-winning producer Tony Brown and two-time GRAMMY®-winning songwriter Paul Overstreet “Paul got the ball rolling,” Kristen says A chance meeting at a 2010 benefit concert impressed Overstreet enough to invite her to write with him, sparking a chain of events that ultimately led to her record deal But Kristen was far from an “overnight” discovery Born in Waco, Texas, Kristen Kelly grew up in the country, living on 10 acres in small-town Lorena, Texas “You blink, you miss it,” she smiles She credits her outdoorsy, adventurous spirit in adult life to those days of “simple country living”]]>

The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum pays tribute to one of country music's most iconic artists, the inimitable Patsy Cline, with Patsy Cline: Crazy for Loving You, a biographical exhibit is open for a 10-month run in the museum's East Gallery through June 10, 2013 Employing costumes, personal possessions, vintage photographs, correspondence, career-spanning audio and video and more, Patsy Cline: Crazy for Loving You explores the life and impact of this incomparable artist The exhibition lets Cline tell her story largely in her own words, and its narrative draws extensively from the many letters Cline wrote to her family and her first fan club president, Treva Miller The correspondence offers a wealth of information about Cline's background, touring and recording activities, and the challenges of balancing life as a performer with her roles as wife and mother The centerpiece of the exhibit is a powerful and moving film, created by museum staff, that includes new interviews with four Country Music Hall of Fame members-Harold Bradley, Brenda Lee, Willie Nelson and the Jordanaires' Ray Walker-each of whom knew and worked with Cline; archival performance footage; and audio clips from Owen Bradley's original three-track recordings of some of Patsy's greatest performances For the first time, the public will be able to hear Cline's spine-tingling vocals, isolated without instrumental accompaniment, on "Crazy," "Sweet Dreams" and other classics]]>

Head out to Margaritaville Nashville for live music! Dusty Hundley takes the stage from 12:00pm-4:00pm You can find Dusty most weekends behind a microphone in venues throughout the southeast and weekdays playing the honky-tonks of Broadway in Nashville His shows are loaded with the best classic rock, country, blues, pop and music from almost every genre, taking you back through the years His unpredictable impromptu medleys will amuse you with modern pop that few artists attempt Dusty is influenced by the music of James Taylor, Garth Brooks, and Hank Williams Jr Paul Pace performs from 4:00pm-8:00pm You walk into a bar, and there's this guy on a stool by the window, crouching over his guitar And you just know he's going to try to cut through all that noise with something like "Boot Scootin' Boogie" or "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," anything to grab the crowd's attention But this one doesn't Instead, with the softest of strums, he eases into a satin-smooth version of Don Williams' "Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good" Slowly the chatter at the bar trails off, and heads begin turning his way Now he's got them The singer is Paul Pace, and this is the kind of vocal magic he works every time he performs To top it all off, he knows country music like a librarian knows books Two songs later, he's resurrecting Bobby Bare's "Tequila Sheila," a song so seldom heard these days that even Bare has probably forgotten it Steve Dorian is a singer/songwriter in Nashville, TN and current member of pop A Capella group Rockapella He takes the stage at 8:00pm]]>

Start Time(s):

The southern gothic, supernatural musical Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, written by Stephen King, with music by John Mellencamp and T Bone Burnett comes to the historic Ryman Auditorium on Saturday, September 21This extraordinary collaboration, 13 years in the making, is a haunting tale of fraternal love, lust, jealousy and revenge, which will be performed by an ensemble cast of 15 actors and a four-piece live band The album of the musical will be released on June 4 via Hear Music and the Concord Music Group The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County saga began when Mellencamp told King about a cabin on his land in Indiana where two brothers had gotten in a fight over a girl; one brother accidentally killing the other, only to die along with the girl in a car crash a short time later King came up with an outline for a play in a matter of days And then off and on, back and forth, they began to develop it into a full-length musical The superb blues 'n' roots music of Ghost Brothers reflects the wide range of styles and influences needed for a work that jumps back and forth across decades Rather than use the songs to propel the play's narrative, as in a conventional musical, Mellencamp chose to make them a way to reveal the emotions and inner workings of the characters Set in the tiny town of Lake Belle Reve, Mississippi, the Ghost Brothers' story centers on two sets of brothers: the ghosts of Jack and Andy, dead in an apparent murder/suicide, and their nephews, the living Frank and Drake, who seem to be headed toward the same downward spiral as their uncles Joe, younger brother of Jack and Andy, father of Frank and Drake, has decided it's time to reveal his own terrible secret at the site of the tragedy, before it's too late As the story emerged during the writing of the musical, it became clear to the collaborators that Ghost Brothers had taken them into unfamiliar territory — and they liked it that way "John can make rock & roll records and I can write books for the rest of our lives," says King, "but that's the safe way to do it, and that's no way to live if you want to stay creative We were willing to be educated, and at our age, that's an accomplishment" Putting King's words and Mellencamp's songs on the stage is in the skilful hands of acclaimed director Susan Booth, who calls the musical a "a kind of new age travelling medicine show" "This is a gothic story-driven rock concert," says Booth "I want the emphasis to be on this fantastic score and our great singers and how the story advances us from song to song In most musicals, the songs advance the narrative With Ghost Brothers, the story will advance the songs]]>

The Bakersfield Sound story begins during the Great Depression, when Bakersfield's cotton farms and oil fields attracted a mass migration of Dust Bowl refugees from Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas Born in Texas in 1929, Buck Owens moved with his sharecropping parents to Arizona before heading to Bakersfield in 1951 Merle Haggard's family, driven to the area from their east-Oklahoma farm, lived in an old converted railroad boxcar when Haggard was born, in a Bakersfield hospital, on April 6, 1937 The exhibit will explore Bakersfield's club scene where, in the 1940s and 1950s, the city's plethora of dance halls and honky-tonks provided respite for wall-to-wall, rambunctious workers eager for the boogiefied honky-tonk of the Maddox Brothers & Rose or the eclectic swing sound of Bob Wills Also on the bandstands were enormously influential musicians Wynn Stewart and Tommy Collins, whose classic honky-tonk songs Owens and Haggard would later record, and for whom they worked as sidemen before launching solo careers The exhibit also spotlights Bill Woods, widely regarded as "The Father of the Bakersfield Sound," and other musical architects, including "Cousin" Herb Henson, Ferlin Husky, Billy Mize, Fuzzy Owen, Bonnie Owens, Jelly Sanders, Jean Shepard, Red Simpson and Lewis Talley One of Bakersfield Sound's recurring themes is the connections between all of the artists making music during this fertile period This is epitomized by the careers of Bakersfield's greatest stars, Owens and Haggard As they came to prominence in the 1960s, their careers and personal lives were interwined not only with each other but with virtually all of the other major figures of the Bakersfield scene These two superstars remained faithful to the classic honky-tonk style and, at the same time, gave country music a harder edge in keeping with the drinking, loud talking, fist-fighting and romancing that characterized Bakersfield's nightclub culture Owens and his top-notch band, the Buckaroos, first popularized Bakersfield's amped-up hybrid of honky-tonk, rockabilly and western swing with 1960s chart-toppers like "Act Naturally," "Love's Gonna Live Here," "Together Again" and "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" and Haggard and his equally stellar band, the Strangers, soon followed with the unforgettable gems "Sing Me Back Home," "Mama Tried," "Okie from Muskogee" and "The Fightin' Side of Me" These Bohemian originals scored nearly 60 #l hits between them and created a body of work that continues to influence artists today The exhibit will also focus on the Bakersfield music businesses that evolved in the 1960s, including publishing houses, recording studios, booking and management agencies, radio stations and performance venues, and particularly on Buck Owens Enterprises, the music empire owned and operated by the savvy Owens It will also explore the enduring impact of the Bakersfield Sound on subsequent generations of musicians, singers and songwriters, from country-rock pioneers the Flying Burrito Brothers to Dwight Yoakam and Brad Paisley, and many others Among other narrative elements, visitors will learn about the importance of Capitol Records producer Ken Nelson, who recorded numerous Bakersfield classics, including many of Owens' and Haggard's hits, and who has been elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame; and the role of the Buckaroos and the Strangers in developing the Bakersfield Sound, with emphasis on key sidemen such as steel guitar innovator Ralph Mooney, Telecaster ace Roy Nichols and lead guitarist and harmony vocalist Don Rich The Bakersfield-based Mosrite company, who manufactured instruments and issued recordings, also will be highlighted The Bakersfield Sound story will include hundreds of archival photos, audio and video clips, and a Fort Knox of rare, historic and visually stunning artifacts including: Stage costumes worn by the Maddox Brothers & Rose, featuring floral motifs, elaborate embroidery and fringe, created by famed Hollywood designer Nathan Turk; Wynn Stewart's understated Nudie suit with decorative straps and buckles; several Turk-designed suits worn by Buck Owens; a Nudie suit with motifs from the San Joaquin Valley, worn by Bobby Adamson of the Farmer Boys; and more A plethora of important instruments, including Telecasters belonging to Buck Owens and Don Rich; Speedy West's Bigsby 1948 steel guitar (its whereabouts a mystery for decades); Ralph Mooney's Fender double-neck pedal steel guitar; and Merle Travis's electric guitar - one of the first solid-body electric guitars, designed by Travis and built by Paul Bigsby Legal documents including the marriage license of Buck and Bonnie Owens; and the "Full Pardon for Crimes of Merle Haggard," signed March 1, 1972, by then-California Governor Ronald Reagan Weaving the expansive story together via video screens throughout the gallery is Yoakam, who created a one-of-a-kind oral history - with special guests Merle Haggard and Chris Hillman - especially for this exhibit; the interview was taped at Hollywood's Capitol Records Tower, where many Bakersfield Sound hits were made]]>

Powerful, emotive recording artist Dynamic, charismatic live performer Acclaimed Broadway star Successful film and television actress With an unparalleled resumé that spans more than four decades and several entertainment genres, Reba is country music's ultimate Renaissance woman The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum will pay tribute to this inimitable artist with the cameo exhibition Reba: All the Women I Am, which opens in the museum's East Gallery on August 9, 2013, and runs through June 8, 2014 "Reba is the most successful female country performer of her generation, and a major influence on many of the female recording artists who have followed her," said Museum Director Kyle Young "Her achievements and accolades are almost too numerous to mention: She has sold more than 40 million records, charted nearly 60 Top Ten singles and 24 #1 hits, and been honored with nearly 50 major awards, including two Grammy awards, the Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year award and the Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year award; she is also one of only four entertainers in history to receive the National Artistic Achievement Award from the US Congress And, of course, she was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011 "It's impossible to overstate Reba's impact on country music, and her contributions go well beyond recording," Young continued "She heightened production values for country concerts, adding elaborate stages, video screens and multiple costume changes Such innovations are now de rigueur on the tours of top country artists Furthermore, through her work on Broadway, in film, and as the star of two television comedies, Reba has helped to heighten and expand the profile of country music, lifting all boats in her magnificent wake We are looking forward to telling the rich, inspiring and always entertaining story of one of country music's brightest lights" Reba Nell McEntire was born in McAlester, Oklahoma on March 28, 1955, and grew up in Chockie, Oklahoma, on a cattle ranch, traveling regularly to rodeos with her father, champion calf roper Clark McEntire Influenced by their mother, Jackie, who was a talented singer, Reba and her siblings Pake and Susie began performing as the Singing McEntires while in high school In 1974, Reba sang the national anthem at the National Rodeo Finals in Oklahoma City; cowboy singer Red Steagall heard her and financed a recording session, which led to her signing with Mercury Records in 1975 Reba began releasing singles in 1976, and two years later she scored her first Top 20 hit with "Three Sheets in the Wind," a duet with Jacky Ward In 1980, she notched her first Top 10 single, "(You Lift Me) Up to Heaven," and garnered her first #1s in 1982-83 with "Can't Even Get the Blues" and "You're the First Time I've Thought About Leaving" After a move to MCA Records in 1983, Reba took more control of her career and material and, over the next decade, produced a slew of now-classic country hits including "How Blue," "Somebody Should Leave," "Whoever's in New England," "The Last One to Know" and many more A series of groundbreaking headliner tours to support her hits consolidated Reba's status as a music superstar During this time, music videos became an important vehicle for reaching fans; Reba's clip for "Whoever's in New England" sparked an interest in acting, and in 1990 she appeared in her first film, Tremors She went on to appear in 10 more films, to date In March 1991, Reba suffered a personal tragedy when seven members of her band, her road manager, and the pilot and co-pilot of a chartered private jet were killed in a plane crash Reba took an extended break from touring and recorded the album For My Broken Heart The record, which contained a handful of hits, including the title song, "Is There Life Out There" and "The Greatest Man I Never Knew," became one of her best sellers Throughout the 1990s, Reba continued her chart success: Her many hits during the decade include "The Heart Won't Lie" (with Vince Gill), "Does He Love You" (with Linda Davis) and "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" In January 2001, Reba stepped into the title role of the Broadway musical Annie Get Your Gun Her bravura portrayal garnered universal critical acclaim, with the New York Times hailing the performance as "without qualification the best performance by an actress in a musical comedy this season" Fans of musical theater agreed, as the show was sold out through most of Reba's five-month run From 2001 to 2007, Reba starred in her own hit comedy series, Reba When the show ended, she refocused her efforts on touring and recording; in 2008, she left MCA Records and signed with Valory Music Group, a subsidiary of Big Machine Records Her first album for the label, Keep on Loving You, was released in August 2009; it debuted at #1 on both the Billboard country chart and the all-genre Billboard 200 album chart and featured the #1 single "Consider Me Gone" A savvy businesswoman, in 1988 Reba founded Starstruck Entertainment, a multi-dimensional corporation encompassing booking, management, music publishing, a recording studio and transportation services In 1989, she married her manager, Narvel Blackstock; he continues to oversee Starstruck's many enterprises Although Reba was awarded country music's highest honor in 2011 with her election to the Country Music Hall of Fame, her career shows no signs of slowing down: She is currently starring in the ABC comedy Malibu Country; her most recent album, All the Women I Am, spawned the #1 hit "Turn on the Radio" Reba: All the Women I Am will be accompanied by an ongoing series of programs throughout the exhibit's duration]]>
