Excited to be a part of this special weekend in Knoxville, hosted by the East Tennessee History Center and celebrating the contributions of women to American old-time music!
On Saturday March 7 at 2:30 we’ll be doing a live taping (our first!) of an episode with special guest Dr. Jessie Wilkerson on the late great songwriter and bluegrass musician Hazel Dickens.
Earlier that day at noon, Emily Hilliard will be in conversation with the one and only Alice Gerrard about her new memoir, Custom Made Woman: A Life in Traditional Music.
All events are free and you can catch other great talks, concerts, and film screenings, and tour the Birthplace of Country Music Museum traveling exhibit “I’ve Endured: Women in Old-Time Music” throughout the weekend. More info here.
