CMHOFM To Host Music & Conversation Event With The Fairfield Four
The Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum is hosting a Music and Conversation: The Fairfield Four event on Aug. 2 at 2:30 p.m. CT at the Ford Theater.
The Fairfield Four, an a cappella gospel quartet, was founded in Nashville more than 100 years ago, and has been instrumental in preserving and revitalizing one of the oldest styles of traditional gospel singing. They were named National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellows in 1989, received the Tennessee Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994, were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1999, and have won three Grammys.
During the program, current and recently retired members of the Fairfield Four will discuss the group’s history and legacy with Jerry Zolten, a Penn State educator, author, leading expert on Black gospel music and producer of two Fairfield Four albums. The program will also include a brief performance, and is included with museum admission, but a program ticket is required. It is free to museum members.
