AARP The Magazine is taking a moment to celebrate all that unites us this Independence Day. In the June/July issue, country legends Dolly Parton, Zac Brown, Shania Twain, Loretta Lynn, and many other artists share what they treasure most about the U.S. and how music continues to be a uniting force for diverse communities.
And in this special section, AARP The Magazine also pays tribute to country music. Celebrity country music fans — including Ringo Starr, Lester Holt, Terry Bradshaw and more — tell AARP why they love country music and how it’s shaped who they are today.
In addition, a special report shines a spotlight on the diversifying Nashville music scene. Learn how new artists like Lil Nas X and Brittney Spencer are changing country music from within, featuring an exclusive interview with rising star Kane Brown and an examination of the broadening inclusion.
Plus, there’s a quiz to see how well you know country music, as well as AARP’s playlist of essential country songs and a travel guide to iconic country music sites across the country, including museums, concert halls and backroom spots where music history was made.
