Delve into the creative and personal journey of one of country music’s most influential female artists, Trisha Yearwood, with the exhibition Trisha Yearwood: The Song Remembers When at the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. The exhibit chronicles Yearwood’s life, career, and critically acclaimed musical achievements.
The story begins in her tiny hometown, Monticello, Georgia, and is followed by a move to Nashville, where Yearwood becomes a music business major at Belmont University. In the Music City, the future three-time Grammy award-winning artist began her career in music, spending time first as a tour guide at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and as a receptionist at a record company. Now, millions of albums and countless accolades later, Yearwood is among the best-selling female artists in country music history. With a powerful voice and inspiring music, she became the first female country singer to have a debut album sell one million copies in its first year, driven by her first #1 single ‘She’s in Love with the Boy.’
The Grand Ole Opry member has since established herself as a lifestyle maven with three New York Times best-selling cookbooks, including her most recent, Trisha’s Table, and as host of the Emmy-Award winning Food Network show, Trisha’s Southern Kitchen, which is currently in its sixth season. This spring, Yearwood also released a new line of cookware, Trisha’s Precious Metals, and unveiled her own line of furniture, The Trisha Yearwood Home Collection, in partnership with Klaussner Home furnishings.
In the museum’s exhibit Trisha Yearwood: The Song Remembers When, visitors can peruse a vast array of artifacts and memorabilia as they review Yearwood’s story, from her small-town roots to her life as an award-winning country music star and bestselling author.
