The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled its latest American Currents: State of the Music exhibit, which is set to open on March 18.
The exhibit, which is included with museum admission, runs through January 2027 in the museum’s ACM Gallery.
“It’s central to our mission at the museum to report on country music — not just its storied past but also what’s happening right now,” says Kyle Young, CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. “We present stories of collaboration, perseverance and innovation from emerging artists and established luminaries — and the instruments, stage wear and personal items that bring those stories to life. American Currents is a testament to the constant vitality of the music.”
The exhibit will honor musical developments, artist achievements and notable events of the past year, with artifacts and video footage from Tyler Childers, Charley Crockett, Sierra Ferrell, Vince Gill, Ashley Gorley, Charlie Handsome, Sierra Hull, I’m With Her, Alison Krauss and Union Station, Ella Langley, MJ Lenderman, Megan Moroney, Ringo Starr, Billy Strings, Zach Top, Morgan Wallen, Waxahatchee, Wednesday, Jesse Welles, Lainey Wilson, Stephen Wilson Jr, Kaitlin Butts, Luke Combs, Farm Aid, the Grand Ole Opry, Riley Green and Cody Johnson, among others.
A section of the exhibit titled “Unbroken Circle” highlights musical connections between new artists and their influences. Featured artifact pairings include Ken Pomeroy and John Denver, Carter Faith and Tammy Wynette, and Muscadine Bloodline and Turnpike Troubadours.
Additionally, the exhibit will recap the year’s chart-topping country albums and singles and highest-grossing tours, as well as include touchscreen interactives highlighting key awards show moments.
In support of the exhibition’s opening, the museum will host a Songwriter Session with Carter Faith on March 21 and a Musician Spotlight with Sierra Hull on March. 22.
