‘Culture At Large’ To Launch First Live Performance Event

/by

Marcus K. Dowling‘s Culture At Large will launch its first live performance event, “R.O.O.T.S.: An All-Female Roots Music Jam Session,” on April 7, at Nashville’s Anzie Blue.

The event will feature performances from ​​Bluegrass Music Association-winning fiddle player Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, Folk Alliance International Spirit of Folk award-winning pianist and vocalist Lilli Lewis, and Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and International Bluegrass Music Association Vocalist of the Year Jaelee Roberts. Tickets to the event are available now.

Dowling launched the Culture At Large podcast in October. The weekly music industry podcast is recorded live from Nashville’s Anzie Blue.

“Two-thirds of the version of The Carter Family, which introduced country music as a commercial genre in 1927, were women,” shares Dowling. “One hundred years later, Billboard‘s top-selling pop albums and singles artists are two different women known for their work in country music. Building lasting connections between music, people, and culture requires changing expectations to boost creative innovation. Therefore, events like R.O.O.T.S. emphasize that it’s time for country’s mainstream pop cultural comeback to expand beyond a single genre and into a broader American and global scene that deepens and expands country music and Western culture’s influence.”
