Country Music

At The East Hampton Library
By
Star Staff

A program of country music performed by Tennessee Walt will take place at the East Hampton Library on Saturday afternoon from 1 to 3. The occasion for the performance is the 90th anniversary of the Bristol Sessions in Bristol, Tenn., during which a producer for the Victor Talking Machine Company, the early record label, recorded blues, ragtime, gospel, ballads, topical songs, and string bands.

Also known as Gayden Wren, Tennessee Walt will discuss the sessions, which Johnny Cash called “the single most important event in the history of country music,” and perform songs by Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter family, Hank Williams, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Mr. Cash. Reservations can be made at the library’s reference desk or at eventbrite.com.
