Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum Oral History Project

Project Summary

The Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum's Video Oral History Project (VOHP) includes oral history interviews documenting the history of Bluegrass Music. The project includes life stories of many musicians known as "Bluegrass Music's First Generation," as well as those who have carried the genre around the world. Topics include early musical influences, the influence of other musical genres, touring, festivals, as well as the music business. The Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum was formerly known as the International Bluegrass Music Museum (IBMM). The organization is often addressed by its former title throughout the interviews.

This collection is currently in process. As a result, the interviews marked "restricted" remain unprocessed and unavailable for access at this time.
