Virtual Sandwiched In with Tennessee Walt - The Other Great American Songbook

Join Tennessee Walt for a fascinating exploration of this often-overlooked slice of America’s musical heritage. Walt will offer live performances of some of the greatest songs of some of America’s greatest songwriters, including Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, Johnny Cash, The Carter Family, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow and many others. He will discuss the stories behind the songs and the people who created them, and touch on the origins of country music in the fusion of mountain ballads with African American blues music, the roots of rock 'n' roll in country and R&B, and the evolution of today’s country music. The show's 20 songs span 90 years of America’s musical history, and at the heart of so many of these great songs are great stories. Tennessee Walt's songs and the stories they tell have much to say about the American story and how we see the world. So come prepared to hear compelling tales and to tap your feet to "The Other Great American Songbook.”
