POETS AND PROPHETS




These quarterly programs honor and showcase the careers of songwriters who have made significant contributions to country music history. Through in-depth, one-on-one interviews with the writers, museum visitors gain a better understanding of how songwriters work behind the scenes to create famous songs. Historic recordings, photographs, and film clips supplement the interview. Oftentimes, the honoree will perform some of their songs during the program. Included with museum admission. Free to museum members.
