“From Where I Stand: The Concert Celebration” at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

“From Where I Stand: The Black Experience in Country Music” is a multifaceted, educational initiative including a CD box set, a concert celebration, and a free-to-access online experience. The collection spans a century of music created by Black artists.

As part of the initiative, the Museum and co-producers Rissi Palmer and Shannon Sanders organized "From Where I Stand: The Concert Celebration," presented by Amazon and Riverview Foundation, a multi-artist concert celebrating the many ways Black Americans have created, contributed to, and been influenced by country music.

During the concert, Blanco Brown, Cowboy Troy, Tony Jackson, Hubby Jenkins, Miko Marks, Wendy Moten, Rissi Palmer, Darius Rucker, The War And Treaty, and Barrence Whitfield performed their songs featured on the box set and paid tribute to other artists featured in the collection. Throughout the night, the house band—led by Sanders and featuring Tyler Cain, Rob Cureton, Kery Greene, Olivia Jones, Jon “DJ Smoke” Lucas, MarQo Patton, and Lars Thorson—accompanied the artists. The concert concluded with an all-cast performance of the Staple Singers’ rendition of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”
