The program, Brothers & Sisters: The Rise of Southern Rock, will begin at 1:30 p.m. in the museum's Ford Theater. Hosted by Family Tradition co-curator Michael McCall, the panel will include five figures central to the genre's success: Bonnie Bramlett of duo Delaney & Bonnie; legendary artist Charlie Daniels; Mike Hyland of Capricorn Records; and Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ed King. The group will discuss how they and others fused blues, country, rock and soul into a distinctly southern sound-a sound that influenced Hank Williams Jr. and many other country artists since the 1980s-and in the process created music that helped heal racial divides while resurrecting pride in their southern heritage. This program is included with museum admission and is free for museum members. The program will also be streamed live at www.countrymusichalloffame.org.
