NASHVILLE CATS




These quarterly programs honor and showcase the careers of musicians and session singers who have played important roles in country music history. Through in-depth, one-on-one interviews with the honorees, museum visitors gain a better understanding of how musicians made careers for themselves by backing hit artists in the recording studio or on concert tours. Vintage recordings, photos, and film clips supplement the interviews, and in some cases the honorees demonstrate their techniques and recreate their famous musical contributions. Included with museum admission. Free to museum members.
