The “Unbroken Circle” part of the exhibit, which spotlights pairings of artists with trailblazers who inspired them, include Ken Pomeroy and John Denver, Carter Faith and Tammy Wynette, and Muscadine Bloodline and Turnpike Troubadours.

“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,” said 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 American Currents: State of the Music exhibit, which is included in museum admission, will open on Wednesday, March 18. It will remain open through January 2027.
