Country Music legend and 2013 Hall Of Fame inductee Kenny Rogers will participate in a special interview at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on Saturday, August 16. The special interview event will take place in conjunction with the debut of Kenny Rogers: Through the Years, a biographical exhibit in the museum’s East Gallery opening August 15, 2014, and running until June 14, 2015.
The interview will be held in the museum's CMA Theater at 2:30 p.m. Rogers will share personal stories and memories from his storied life and career, which will be supplemented by archival photographs and video. Complimentary program passes are available with museum admission or membership. Those unable to attend in person are invited to view the event live online via countrymusichalloffame.org/streaming.
This interview is one of several special events promoting the debut of Rogers' new museum exhibit. Other upcoming programs include an August 16 Songwriter Session with Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Don Schlitz, who penned Rogers’s signature classic “The Gambler" among numerous other hits; and an August 17 film screening of 2001’s Kenny Rogers: Live by Request.
“Kenny Rogers redefined and elevated country music superstardom in every sense,” said Museum Director Kyle Young. “He blurred traditional genre lines and substantially expanded the core demographics of country music’s audience, all by being true to his unique artistic vision. His versatility is astounding. We could not be more thrilled to share this detailed presentation of his story.”
