SUMMARY:Ongoing Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:enjoy an online tour of our museum with a collection of new behind-the-scenes videos!\nTAKE VIRTUAL TOUR \nThrough beautiful theater experiences\, interactive displays\, and text and artifacts the Birthplace of Country Music Museum shares the story of the 1927 Bristol Sessions recordings\, explores how evolving sound technology shaped their success\, and highlights how this rich musical heritage lives on in today’s music. It’s an immersive\, interactive museum with amazing sights and sounds!\n\nPanels focus on topics such as the development of the modern recording industry and the artists who recorded at the Bristol Sessions\, including Ernest V. Stoneman\, Alfred G. Karnes\, El Watson\, The Carter Family\, and Jimmie Rodgers. The Bristol Sessions were the first recordings of The Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers\, and they quickly became stars in the emerging “hillbilly” music industry. A timeline of audio technology introduces you to the different ways to produce and listen to music\, and the Variety & Voice gallery highlights the history and beauty of the iconic instruments that have created the recognizable sounds of country music. \nVisiting the core exhibits at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum is not a passive experience – we want you to explore the music through a variety of interactive and immersive experiences. Sound surrounds you throughout your visit. You can delve into local history to set the scene for the Bristol Sessions story\, and explore the sounds of the Sessions through clips of all of the songs issued by Victor Records from the Bristol recordings. In other parts of the gallery\, you can listen to the ways later musicians from Lead Belly to Nirvana have arranged some of these classic songs\, give those tunes new sounds at the mixing stations\, and belt out a song with family\, friends and fellow visitors at the sing-along station! \nYou can also engage in multiple film and theater experiences\, beginning with the Orientation Theater film “Bound to Bristol.” In the Greasy Strings Theater\, we explore the philosophy and techniques behind the playing of the 1927 Bristol Sessions recordings. You can take a pew in our small chapel to hear local gospel groups speak and sing about how faith has shaped music and our connection to it. The Immersion Theater makes you part of “the unbroken circle” – and gives you space to dance! Several shorter films explore oral histories of participants in the 1927 Bristol Sessions\, the career of Tennessee Ernie Ford\, and the impact of this music on TV and film. \n\nThe museum’s permanent exhibits won four awards at the 2015 Tennessee Association of Museums conference: Award of Excellence for Permanent Exhibits\, Award of Excellence for A/V – Mixing Station\, Award of Commendation for Chapel Film\, and the Past President’s Award of Excellence.

SUMMARY:I've Endured: Women in Old-Time Music Special Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:March 23 – December 31\, 2023 \nLocation: Special Exhibits Gallery\, Birthplace of Country Music Museum \n“Congratulations to the Birthplace of Country Music Museum for honoring the women of old-time music with their own exhibit. These women were from the hills and hollers of the rural south\, who helped plant musical seeds for all of us. My momma could have been in that exhibit\, since she taught us kids old ballads and immigrant songs\, gave us a love for music\, and access to banjos\, fiddles\, and a wash-tub bass. It’s great to see the seeds growing\, from Mother Maybelle Carter all the way to my fellow-Tennessean Amythyst Kiah.” ~ Dolly Parton \nVisit the “I’ve Endured: Women in Old-Time Music” website. \nThe Birthplace of Country Music Museum in Historic Downtown Bristol honors the hidden heroines\, activists\, and commercial success stories of women who have impacted the roots and branches of old-time music in a new special exhibit\, “I’ve Endured: Women in Old-Time Music\,” on display March 23 – December 31\, 2023. Created by a women-led content team\, this will be the first exhibition curated by the museum that will eventually travel to other institutions. \nA commercial career in music may never have occurred to many women tending large families and domestic responsibilities. Women were frequently tied to the home. Others were discouraged or even forbidden by their husbands to keep their music going at home or to play in public. Some women were influenced by their church leaders to stay away from dancing and the music that surrounded it. In many cases women had fewer opportunities than men to make a viable career from their music. Nonetheless\, several found ways to work within these challenges – and move beyond them – in order to pass on old-time music\, and the related genres of country and bluegrass\, as performing musicians or in other roles in music. \n“I’ve Endured: Women in Old-Time Music” spotlights commercial success stories and iconic musicians like Mother Maybelle and Sara Carter\, Ola Belle Reed\, Elizabeth Cotten\, Lily May Ledford\, Hazel Dickens\, Etta Baker\, and Alice Gerrard. It also includes women who have impacted the genre in other ways\, such as Audrey Hash Ham\, Florence Reece\, Helen White\, Anne Romaine\, and Bernice Johnson Reagon. By showcasing today’s torchbearers and innovators\, the exhibit also illuminates the ways that women are carrying the old-time genre forward and the work still to be done to open it up to other underrepresented communities. Women like Rhiannon Giddens\, Martha Spencer\, Carla Gover\, Suzy Thompson\, and Amythyst Kiah are but a few examples of students of old-time who are blazing new trails. The content development team interviewed dozens of contemporary female old-time musicians and industry professionals as part of the exhibit. \nSpecial Thanks \nThis exhibit has been funded in part by grants from Virginia Humanities\, the Massengill-DeFriece Foundation\, and the IBMA Foundation\, along with local women-led business sponsorship from Friends of Southwest Virginia\, The Crooked Road\, Artemis Consulting Services\, LLC\, Bristol Ballet\, Suzi Griffin (Studio 6)\, Kim Sproles (KS Promotions)\, and Kayla Stevenson (Matte Nail Bar). East Tennessee Foundation Arts Fund provided grant funding for related public programming\, and the Virginia Tourism Corporation provided grant funding for the exhibit’s website.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Songwriting in the Tradition with Alice Gerrard
DESCRIPTION:Dates: Saturday\, December 9 – Sunday\, December 10\, 2023 \nTimes: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 –  4:00 p.m. daily  \nLocation: Birthplace of Country Music Museum \nCost Per Person:\n$150+ tax/fee for adults\n$100+ tax/fee for high school & college students with discount code ALICESTUDENT\n(limited student tickets available) \nBUY TICKETS \nJoin us at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum for a two-day Songwriting in the Tradition Workshop with legendary singer\, songwriter\, and instrumentalist Alice Gerrard. With a career spanning some 50 years\, Alice has known\, learned from\, and performed with many of the old-time and bluegrass greats and has in turn earned worldwide respect for her own important contributions to the music. This two-day workshop will be an opportunity for attendees to dig deep into their creativity and muse in a safe and supportive environment. Students will explore the songwriting process (different for everyone) and have fun sharing their creations. Participants are encouraged to bring along a rhyming dictionary or thesaurus\, notebook\, their own instrument\, recording devices\, and fragments of inspiration\, both melodic and lyric. \nA limited number of scholarships are available to attend; please send inquiries to Toni Doman at tdoman@birthplaceofcountrymusic.org. \n“The Tradition”:\n“I define ‘the tradition’ loosely as southern traditional music including unaccompanied ballads\, country ballads\, and blues to George Jones…as opposed to pop. But I’m not going to quibble about style except that I’m much more familiar with songwriting in that tradition. However\, you will be free to choose the kind of song you want to write. The main goal is to write something and hopefully to grab onto a melody to go with it. Building on the bedrock of “three chords and the truth” is a good way to start. You should be able to accompany yourself (nothing fancy but just know keys and their chords and be able to change chords with ease). This will be easier on a guitar\, mandolin\, piano\, autoharp\, etc. But I (we) can guide you in case you have a melody or fragment of melody but are not sure what chords to use. At the end of the two days\, students will have an original composition and we’ll do a small performance for each other. No particular level is required\, just the desire to write a song or finish a song you’ve started. Songwriting is personal and everyone will have different ideas. There are as many different approaches to songwriting as there are songwriters. You are not alone!” ~ Alice Gerrard \n

Interest in the program spread rapidly with assistance from the National Endowment for the Arts\, NC State Arts Council\, Blue Ridge National Heritage Area and “The Crooked Road – Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail.” \nIn 2007\, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation provided funding to allow the development of a regional infrastructure. The Dana Foundation\, Virginia Commission for Arts\, the Virginia Foundation for Humanities\, the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Harris and Frances Block Foundation and the Tides Foundation have provided funding for materials development. \n“Junior Appalachian Musicians” was incorporated in 2008 as a non-profit 501(c)3 tax exempt corporation to promote a shared vision of JAM and to provide an umbrella through which to offer resources\, training materials and activities to benefit programs individually and collectively.

SUMMARY:Stained Glass Bluegrass
DESCRIPTION:Probably more than any other popular music\, bluegrass has always embraced gospel.  The harmonies of church hymns and hand-clapping songs of praise are part of the roots of bluegrass.  Many festivals still devote the Sunday morning stage to gospel sets\, and it’s common for bluegrass radio shows to play a gospel number or two every hour.  Bluegrass fans have enjoyed the sounds of Sunday morning gospel since 1974\, when Stained Glass Bluegrass  first aired on WAMU-FM.  The show has been continuously broadcast every Sunday since then\, and is a mainstay of Bluegrass Country Radio. Over the years\, we have heard from listeners from just about all faiths and those who somehow relate to or simply enjoy the vocal harmonies\, melodies\, or the instrumentation and sincerity of this music.  We invite you to join host Cindy Baucom every Sunday morning at 10 AM EST\, and become a part of the Stained Glass Bluegrass family right here on Radio Bristol!

SUMMARY:Speaker Sessions: McKenzie Isom on Women in Country Music -- VIRTUAL ONLY!
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, December 12\, 2023 \nTime: 7:00 p.m. EST \nLocation: Virtual via Zoom \nThis event is FREE and open to the public\, but you will need to register HERE. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, December 12 for our next Speaker Session featuring Dr. McKenzie Isom as she examines the experience of women in country music. Throughout the long 1970s\, country music sought to cultivate a traditional\, “authentic\,” and conservative image and sound that would be commercially competitive. Though the study of country music continues to develop\, very little attention has been paid to how this adherence to authenticity and traditionalism impacted its artists’ personal and professional lives\, particularly among its roster of female artists. In her presentation\, Dr. Isom will provide a more nuanced look into the inner workings of the country music industry\, one that sheds light on the highly restrictive atmosphere and working culture that female country artists regularly struggled against during this period. \nAbout McKenzie Isom \nMcKenzie L. Isom is an instructor of History at Trine University\, where she teaches courses related to American history. She received her Ph.D. in History from Purdue University\, where she specialized in 20th-century US history\, gender studies\, and popular culture. Her dissertation\, “Rustic Roots and Rhinestone Cowboys: Southern Identity\, Authenticity\, and the Gendered Construction of Persona in the Long 1970s Country Music Industry\,” examined the evolution of the term “authenticity” within the country music industry and its impact on female artists and their careers over time. Her most recent article about Bob Dylan’s connections to country music will be included in The Politics and Power of Bob Dylan’s Live Performance (Routledge Press). She is also currently working on an article discussing Welsh mythology’s impact on Stevie Nicks’ lyricism and stage persona that will be included in Classic Rock and Ancient History (Bloomsbury Publishing).
