This past Tuesday evening, October 2nd, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum offered a sneak preview of its newest exhibition, Emmylou Harris: Songbird’s Flight. A lovingly curated display of instruments, photos and artifacts chronicling the career and life of the Hall of Fame legend. The unveiling was celebrated with an invitation-only event attended by Harris’s family and friends, fellow musicians and songwriters and more, with special performances by Harris’s friends, Buddy Miller and Patty Griffin.
Miller, who performed Harris’s 1976 Top Five country hit, “One of These Days,” spoke of the way Harris has always championed the underdog, musing that today she is just as well-known and respected for the work she does for actual dogs through her Bonaparte’s Retreat dog-rescue organization.
Emmylou Harris: Songbird’s Flight officially opens to the public Today, October 5th and will run through August 4th, 2019.
