E AND MUSEUM
The history of country music is a big subject, but The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum covers it all. From Kitty Wells to Chet Atkins to the Bakersfield Sound, the museum offers an authoritative look at every facet of the music’s development. Here’s a show featuring some of country’s finest performers, all pulling together to benefit the museum. In its fourth year, We’re All for the Hall sports musical directors Keith Urban and Vince Gill, who combine vocal finesse, instrumental skills and a feel for country history. Also appearing are such hot acts as Pistol Annies, Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum, along with longtime hit-makers Alabama and Rascal Flatts. For lovers of bluegrass-tinged song, Alison Krauss & Union Station mix up old-time chops with newfangled material. The pop-country cusp is represented by Little Big Town, who are busy fashioning the sounds of country’s future.
