Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum documents and interprets the history of country music—a musical genre and culture central to the identity of the city, the state, and the nation. Accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the museum proudly combines subject expertise, ambitious research, and preservation of an unparalleled collection with expressions of creativity in music, art, and history. The museum collects artifacts that illustrate the evolving history and traditions of country music while providing diverse learning opportunities. The core exhibit follows the story of country music from its folk beginnings through its emergence as a commercial art form. Rotating exhibits examine a broad range of topics, from country classics to ultra-contemporary and emerging artists in American Currents. The museum owns Hatch Show Print, a letterpress print shop opened in 1879, and it operates Historic RCA Studio B, where Elvis Presley and many others recorded.

Bluegrass & Beyond is one of the hottest bluegrass bands in the Southwest VA / Northwest NC area. Based in Fort Chiswell, VA and Mount Airy, NC, the band performs regularly in the region. You can catch our regular performances at local music festivals, bluegrass events, and regional radio stations such as WPAQ and WBRF. Or, see our schedule for other events. Bluegrass & Beyond is not your typical bluegrass band. While we play mainly traditional bluegrass and bluegrass gospel music, we also like to throw in a few tunes that we call "Beyond Tunes. These are tunes that most everyone knows, but you wouldn't expect to hear them in a bluegrass show. In general, we just have a whole lot of fun and play a whole lot of music. Feel free to poke around the website and learn a little more about us. Check out some snapshots from our live performances, listen to some of our songs, and experience Bluegrass & Beyond. If you have time, drop us a line on Facebook or Google+ or send us an email. We'd love to hear from you!
