Oral history project created for Nashville’s Music Row
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Anyone who has been a part of Nashville’s famous Music Row has been invited to take part in an upcoming oral history project.
The Tennessean reports (http://tnne.ws/1EKnERS ) the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Music Industry Coalition are partnering with the Nashville Public Library and others for “Voices of Music Row,” an oral history project for those who worked on the famous music business corridor.
The library will begin holding open sessions on May 29 for those involved with Music Row to tell their stories.
Last year, philanthropist Aubrey Preston prevented the famous Studio A from being torn down. After that, Music Row stakeholders say they were inspired to record the history of the 60-year-old district.
Those interested in participating in the project can sign up at musicrowstories.com.
