The Kentucky Voices of "American Currents: State of the Music"

A group of rising musicians, including S. G. Goodman, Nat Myers, and Kelsey Waldon, are bringing old and new Kentucky sounds to the world. The music is often about making alliances with outsiders, and it is made by peers who are in alliance with one another.
Born in the tiny town of Hickman on the Mississippi River in westernmost Kentucky, S. G. Goodman grew up singing Baptist hymns and listening to storytellers. They taught her that a sense of place is as important as the characters in your stories.
Nat Myers spent his early years on the move-from birth in Kansas to time in Tennessee-before his parents settled in northern Kentucky. Along the way, he began to embrace the poetry he found in music as a way of navigating the world.
Raised in the small rural community of Monkey's Eyebrow in the Ohio River bottoms of far western Kentucky, Kelsey Waldon grew up steeped in the sounds of country music, deciding she wanted to be a country singer after seeing Kentucky star Patty Loveless in 1994.
“American Currents: State of the Music,” the annual Museum exhibit spotlighting country's latest chapter, is now open. From the Appalachian Mountains in the east to the Mississippi River in the west, explore the stories of Kentucky artists carving new paths in the musical landscape.
