Sparkle & Twang: Marty Stuart’s American Musical Odyssey
Jun 6 – Nov 11, 2007
This exhibition represents more than 40 years of the classic musical greats behind country, bluegrass, rock, and southern gospel music. This uniquely American collection illustrates the impact of fashion and music on the popular culture of America as revealed through performance costumes, accessories, handwritten lyrics, personal letters, instruments owned by country music legends, and unpublished photographs. The exhibition embraces the story of Marty Stuart’s personal experiences with some of the most famous stars of country music. Stuart’s fervor for preserving, protecting and personifying the story behind these indigenous musical art forms served as the inspiration for the exhibition.
