The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will feature multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter Herb Pedersen in its in-depth interview series “Nashville Cats” on Feb. 4 in the museum’s Ford Theater.

An accomplished guitarist, banjo player, singer and songwriter, Pedersen is a founding member of the Desert Rose Band and was a member of the Dillards from 1969 to 1971. He has recorded solo albums and performed and recorded with Jackson Browne, John Denver, the Doobie Brothers, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Dan Fogelberg, John Fogerty, Chris Hillman, Gordon Lightfoot, Lyle Lovett, Gram Parsons, John Prine, Tony Rice, Johnny Rivers, Linda Ronstadt, Ringo Starr, James Taylor, Dwight Yoakam, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson and Earl Scruggs, among many others.

The interview will be illustrated with archival photos, recordings and film clips. The conversation is in support of the “Western Edge: The Roots and Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock” exhibit presented by City National Bank, and made possible in part by the Academy of Country Music.

The ongoing “Nashville Cats” series showcases musicians and session singers who have played important roles in support of artists in either the recording studio or on concert tours.

The program is included with museum admission and is free to museum members. Seating is limited, and a program ticket is required for admittance.
