Each year, the Museum opens new limited-engagement exhibitions to complement and expand on the storytelling of our core exhibition,\u00a0Sing Me Back Home: A Journey Through Country Music<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our 2020 exhibition lineup includes another broad and impactful mix of musical talent, including Country Music Hall of Fame member Bill Anderson, Martina McBride, Chris Stapleton, and dozens of other artists whose latest achievements appear in our annually updated\u00a0American Currents<\/em>. The Museum\u2019s major exhibition,\u00a0Outlaws & Armadillos: Country\u2019s Roaring \u201970s<\/em>, will also remain through February 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Country Music Hall Of Fame is an institution that shines vibrantly over downtown Nashville, which currently lays damaged and brutally beaten by tornadoes and that national virus that is crippling not only America, but the world. Right now, directly after some personal medical issues I needed to address, I find my self at home pillaging through piles of shows and venues that are closed or out right destroyed.<\/p>\n

The Bill Anderson exhibit particularly intrigues me as a music fan, because as a vinyl collector and music aficionado\u00a0 his past album are some of my pride and joys. His early years on Decca such as the ” I Love You Drops” and ” Wild Weekend”\u00a0 are some of the most iconic Country Music from ANY Legend that still exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mar 13, 2020<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Out of an abundance of caution, the museum, Hatch Show Print, Historic RCA Studio B and the CMA Theater at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will close temporarily to the public beginning at close of business today.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
NASHVILLE, Tenn. \u2013 March 13, 2020 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The Country Music Hall of Fame\u00ae and Museum today announced that the museum, Hatch Show Print, Historic RCA Studio B and the CMA Theater at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will close temporarily to the public starting at close of business today, Friday, March 13, 2020, through Tuesday, March 31, 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health and safety of our guests and staff is our top priority,\u201d said Kyle Young, CEO, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. \u201cWhile there have not been any confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) connected to the museum at this time, we must do all that we can to help ensure a safe and healthy environment for our visitors, employees and community, which at this time calls for us to close temporarily.\u201d<\/p>\n

All upcoming shows at the CMA Theater for the month of March are either postponed or canceled. Ticket holders will be notified of rescheduled dates, and refunds will be issued from the point of purchase for any canceled performances. Visit CMATheater.com for information on individual shows.<\/p>\n

The Museum\u2019s 2020 exhibitions will feature Country Music Hall of Fame member Bill Anderson, Martina McBride and Chris Stapleton.<\/em><\/p>\n

NASHVILLE, Tenn. \u2013 Dec. 4, 2019 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has set its 2020 roster of new exhibitions, aimed at entertaining and enlightening country music audiences and interpreting the ever-evolving story of the music and the people who make it.<\/p>\n

The annual exhibition\u00a0American Currents: State of the Music\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>will return in 2020, to offer insight into the latest chapter of country\u2019s ongoing evolution as a popular art form. In addition, the museum will devote separate exhibits to the lives and careers of\u00a0Country Music Hall of Fame\u00a0<\/strong>member\u00a0Bill Anderson<\/strong>, award-winning powerhouse vocalist\u00a0Martina McBride\u00a0<\/strong>and acclaimed artist\u00a0Chris Stapleton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEach of these artists achieved country music stardom in a different era, and each has a compelling story to tell about early exposure to music, about the decision to pursue music as a career and about the struggle to overcome the challenges created by such a decision,\u201d said Museum CEO Kyle Young.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2020, we will offer our visitors insight into the life of a Country Music Hall of Fame member who has been writing hits for more than 60 years; a magnificent singer who owns four CMA Female Vocalist of the Year awards; and a singer-songwriter who made his way from small clubs to sold-out arenas and four CMA Male Vocalist of the Year awards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now an annual offering,\u00a0American Currents: State of the Music\u00a0<\/em>will open March 6, 2020. The exhibition represents the ongoing research, analysis, vigorous debate, and yes, even argument, among curators and museum staff to determine the most important developments in country music over the previous year.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Chris Stapleton\u00a0<\/strong>exhibition will open June 26, 2020. Before he achieved solo success with the 2015 release of triple-platinum album\u00a0Traveller<\/em>\u00a0and the hits \u201cTennessee Whiskey\u201d and \u201cParachute,\u201d Stapleton proved his musical mettle as a songwriter, with more than 150 songs recorded by a diverse roster of artists including Adele, Luke Bryan, Alison Krauss and George Strait. This exhibit will explore Stapleton\u2019s personal and musical influences and his climb to stardom, including his time in the SteelDrivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud to get to share pieces of our musical journey at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum,\u201d said Stapleton.<\/p>\n

An exhibit exploring\u00a0Martina McBride<\/strong>\u2019s legacy opens Aug. 21, 2020.\u00a0<\/strong>For more than 25 years, McBride \u2013 known for hits including \u201cIndependence Day\u201d and \u201cA Broken Wing\u201d \u2013 has ranked as one of country music\u2019s most powerful voices. The Kansas native released her major label debut in 1992, and had her first Top Ten single in 1993 with \u201cMy Baby Loves Me.\u201d Inspired by forerunners such as Linda Ronstadt and Country Music Hall of Fame members Reba McEntire and Connie Smith, McBride brought a powerful voice and style that set her apart from her peers. In 2019, the Academy of Country Music presented her with the Cliffie Stone Icon Award for her contributions to country music.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving an exhibit in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is something I\u2019ve had on my dream list for a long, long time,\u201d said McBride. \u201cBeing able to share moments and mementos from my life and career with my fans and country music fans from all over the world is both humbling and exciting. I\u2019m so grateful to be a part of country music.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Nov. 20, 2020, the museum will open a special exhibition looking at the life of Country Music Hall of Fame member\u00a0Bill Anderson<\/strong>. Known for his breathy, conversational vocal style, \u201cWhisperin\u2019 Bill\u201d Anderson has logged 37 Top Ten hits as a recording artist. Anderson has earned more than 50 BMI awards for songwriting. His first success came in 1958, when he wrote \u201cCity Lights,\u201d a #1 single for Country Music Hall of Fame member Ray Price. Anderson\u2019s songs have been recorded by James Brown, Kenny Chesney, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dean Martin, and hundreds of others, among them Hall of Fame members the Louvin Brothers, Roger Miller, Jim Reeves, Connie Smith, George Strait, Porter Wagoner and Kitty Wells. In 2005, Anderson and Jon Randall Stewart wrote \u201cWhiskey Lullaby,\u201d recorded by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss. It was CMA Song of the Year, and in 2007, Anderson won the CMA and ACM Song of the Year awards for \u201cGive It Away,\u201d written with Buddy Cannon and Jamey Johnson and recorded by Strait. A Grand Ole Opry member since 1961, Anderson entered the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975, the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2002 and the New York-based Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up dreaming of the day they\u2019d put my ball glove into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, but realized many years ago that wasn\u2019t going to happen. But now, knowing that my guitar and maybe a rhinestone suit or two will be put into an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, more than makes up for it. When our Hall does an exhibit, they really do it up right. I am thrilled to know that I am about to be a small part of their incredible legacy,\u201d Anderson shared. The museum\u2019s continuing exhibition\u00a0Outlaws & Armadillos: Country\u2019s Roaring \u201870s,\u00a0<\/em>looks at the relationship between Austin, Texas, and Nashville during the 1970s, an era of freewheeling cultural and artistic exchange that skirted the status quo and changed country music. The exhibition opened in May 2018 and continues through Feb. 14, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
