Balancing Tradition and Innovation in Bluegrass Music

Barry Bales, Jason Carter, Michael Cleveland, Jerry Douglas, Vince Gill, and Alison Krauss discuss balancing tradition and innovation in bluegrass music.

"I think the language has to be the same as the old songs, where you can't give away too much," Krauss says. "It has to be a timeless thing where something could have been sung a thousand years ago, and be sung still, and it still pertain to whatever's happening."

Presented in support of the Museum exhibit _American Currents_, which explores the storylines of artists shaping the genre today. Reserve tickets: https://countrymusichalloffame.org/ca…
