The Power of Women in Country Music highlights the past 100 years
This month, the Grammy Museum’s The Power Of Women In Country Music opens for a summer run in Los Angeles. The event highlights the past, present and future of country music’s greatest female trailblazers by exploring the rich history of women as a driving force in country music.
The Power Of Women In Country Music will take visitors on a journey through the history of women in country music, from the early years and post-World War II, to the emergence of Nashville as a country music mecca, and to female country artists becoming international pop sensations. The exhibit will feature artifacts or special content from a diverse roster of 70 female country artists.
The exhibit launches on Friday, May 27th, and will run through Sunday, October 2nd. LeAnn Rimes is scheduled for a special Public Program moderated by Marissa R. Moss, author of Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be, to celebrate the new exhibit on Tuesday, May 31st. Tickets are available now via the Grammy Museum’s website.
Kelsey Goelz, Grammy Museum’s Associate Coordinator and curator of the exhibit, chats with us about what artifacts fans can expect to see. She also explains why it’s important that the traveling exhibit continues to grow.
Stick around after the interview where Matt and I chat about Naomi Judd, who passed away last week at 76, and Dolly Parton being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this fall.
