CMHOFM To Host ‘Night Train To Lovenoise: A Generational Journey Of Black Music In Nashville’
The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will host “Night Train to Lovenoise: A Generational Journey of Black Music in Nashville,” a free concert and conversation exploring the evolution of the city’s Black music scene through the point of view of musicians from different generations, on Oct. 12.
The program will include a panel discussion with music journalist and Nashville Public Radio’s Making Noise Host Jewly Hight, Lovenoise Founder Eric Holt, and musicians Frank Howard, Regina McCrary, Joey Richey and Bryant Taylorr. Following the conversation, Howard, Richey, Levert Allison, Ca$h K, William Davenport and The McCrary Sisters will perform with a house band led by Elijah “DD” Holt.
The museum’s current exhibition “Night Train to Nashville: Music City Rhythm & Blues Revisited,” explores how Middle Tennessee’s pioneering R&B activity played a significant role in building Nashville’s worldwide reputation as Music City in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s. For the past two decades, Lovenoise, a Black-owned concert promotion company, has been working to make room for R&B, soul and hip-hop in Nashville’s live music landscape. A four-part series, “Making Noise,” a joint production by WPLN and WNXP, the sister stations of Nashville Public Radio, recently chronicled Lovenoise’s story and impact.
Presented in partnership with Lovenoise and the National Museum of African American Music (NMAAM), the program is free, although seating is limited. For more information, click here.
