Virtual exhibit is available in March
The GRAMMY Museum announces a career spanning Ringo Starr program that features new and archival interviews conducted with Bob Santelli, Founding Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum, as well as a virtual version of the groundbreaking 2013 exhibit: Peace & Love. The exhibit was both the first major exhibit ever dedicated to a drummer and the first to explore the extraordinary career of the multi GRAMMY Award winner. The scope of the exhibit spanned Starr’s life, starting with his early life growing up in Liverpool, to Raving Texans turned Rory Storm, to The Beatles, to becoming a solo artist and then to the All Starrs with whom he continues to tour and just celebrated 30 years, marked by the publication of the stunning book, Ringo Rocks: 30 years of the All Starrs. The virtual exhibit, which premieres in March, will include images from the unique collection that included diverse artifacts, rare and never before seen photographs, documents, and personal letters.
The Museum’s Public Programs digital series features new intimate sit-down interviews with artists and musicians recorded via digital conferencing. Since the Museum opened 12 years ago, it has offered more than 1,000 Public Programs. The Museum is also releasing a new exhibit with several photo slideshows.
COLLECTION:live is the GRAMMY Museum’s new official online streaming service available for $2.99/month or $29.99 a year. Proceeds benefit the Museum’s music education initiatives and help keep the Museum’s mission alive while the physical location remains closed due to COVID-19.
Starr will release Zoom In on March 19th featuring appearances by Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh, Corinne Bailey Rae, Eric Burton (Black Pumas), Sheryl Crow, FINNEAS, Dave Grohl, Ben Harper, Lenny Kravitz, Jenny Lewis, Steve Lukather, Chris Stapleton and Yola.
