Alabama – Song of the South Exhibit
Check out the exhibit that traces the musical beginnings, the challenges, and the successes of this Country Music Hall of Fame band.

Cousins Jeff Cook, Teddy Gentry, and Randy Owen formed their first group as teenagers in small-town Fort Payne, Alabama. For a decade, the band honed its unique, crowd-pleasing blend of country music and Southern rock, playing nightclubs in the Southeast. In 1979, the group recruited Massachusetts-born Mark Herndon to become their drummer, and the band signed with RCA in 1980. Alabama would go on to become one of the most beloved bands in the country, scoring over 40 chart-topping singles, selling more than 70 million albums worldwide and setting concert attendance records.

Events celebrating authentic aspects of Irish culture will be available all over Nashville.

For those who love theater, The Final Days of Wolfe Tone, a heart-wrenching original play deeply exploring the character Theobald Wolfe Tone who gave his life in the attempt to free Ireland, will play at TPAC. For history buffs, The Hermitage will celebrate the 250th birthday and Irish genealogy of President Andrew Jackson and his family connections to Ireland. Come trace your own heritage to see if there is green blood flowing in your veins. Of course, one cannot have an Irish celebration in Nashville without music. Altan and The Chieftains, two of the most iconic bands in the history of Irish music will be thrilling audiences with their foot-stomping jigs and reels. McNamara’s Irish Pub is the heart of Nashville’s Irish food and drink and is the place to be on St. Patrick’s Day! This March, Music City has something Irish for everyone Go Green. Go Nashville.

A self-made star who hit the road with her husband visiting radio stations to introduce her debut record five decades ago, Loretta has become one of the Opry’s most celebrated legends. Her countless accolades include three Grammys and eight Country Music Association Awards. In 1972, she became the first female artist to win the Country Music Association’s coveted Entertainer of the Year award. Now a member of the Country Music and Songwriters Halls of Fame, she received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010.

Loretta Lynn: Blue Kentucky Girl
2017-08-25 - 2018-08-05 | Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, 222 5th Ave S, Nashville, TN, 37203, United States
Loretta Lynn: Blue Kentucky Girl
Check out the exhibit now on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum!

By telling her own truths, and by writing about her experiences with a perspective and voice unlike any other Southern storyteller, Loretta Lynn has become an American hero and a country music standard-bearer.”I am so happy the Country Music Hall of Fame has asked me to be one of their main exhibits in 2017…gonna show off my 50 some odd years in country music,” exclaimed Lynn on hearing news of the exhibition. “They best have a big space…I have a lot of stuff! I’m so proud to share my life, and music with the Hall of Fame. Y’all come see us!”
Her one-of-a-kind tale has been told in a feature film (with an Oscar-winning portrayal of Lynn by Sissy Spacek), two autobiographies, and a public television American Masters documentary. But her fascinating journey is worthy of further exploration. Examining the Coal Miner’s Daughter through her music and her rich collection of personal artifacts will provide fresh insights into one of country music’s most important artists. Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988, Lynn received a Grammy nomination in 2017 for Best Country Album for her latest release, Full Circle.
