Congress of Country Music

In light of the Neshoba County Fair starting Friday, here’s a look back to where it all started!🎡

This photo shows Marty and his sister, Jennifer, performing at the Pavilion in 1971. Long before the stages, the records, and the crowds, there was a young boy with a guitar and a love for music.

Some things never change!

Strings & Stories🎸🎶

Producing the final album for Porter Wagoner wasn't just a studio credit. It was a full-circle moment.

On his last victory lap, backed by The Superlatives, he stepped onto the stage at Madison Square Garden opening for The White Stripes.

Ricky Skaggs has always had a way of telling stories!

His recording of "Will the Roses Bloom" inspired this mural, a tribute to the question the song asks and the feeling it leaves behind: will they still bloom when someone is gone?🌹

Designed to look like roses beyond a set of windows, the artwork reflects the quiet beauty of Ricky's music and the way his songs continue to resonate with listeners.

Today we remember.

The Congress of Country Music honors the sacrifice of those who gave their lives in service to our country. We also recognize the families who carry that legacy forward every day.

Their service will never be forgotten.

Strings & Stories 🎸🎶

Boxes and boxes of history. Tucked away on the last page of the last book - a treasure. Handwritten, signed, dated: the original lyrics to "Cold, Cold Heart."

Hank Williams defined the emotional core of country music. His songs gave the genre credibility, longevity, and cultural weight that still resonates today.
