About American Currents
Through the annual exhibition American Currents: State of the Music, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum explores the music and events that helped to shape the previous year. Amid a global health crisis, a renewed push for social justice, and more, the powerful role of country music and the stories told through it remained constant in 2020.
Those recognized in this year’s American Currents: State of the Music are:
American Currents: State of the Music includes an Unbroken Circle section, featuring paired artists that illustrate the connection between country music’s past and present; a video compilation of important country music moments from 2020; and a representation of the past year’s chart-topping country albums, singles, and highest-grossing tours as reported by Billboard and Pollstar.
The exhibition American Currents: State of the Music runs March 12, 2021, through February 6, 2022, at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in downtown Nashville. Plan your visit using the button below.
