Back Roads & Back Stories
Three Southern songwriters. One room. The songs, stories, and places that shaped them.
Join us for an intimate evening of live music and conversation hosted by Drew Young and featuring Cary Hudson of Blue Mountain and Shelby Kemp of Royal Horses.
Presented in a songwriter-in-the-round format, get a close-up look at the stories behind the songs — where they started, what they carried, and how the back roads, small towns, hard seasons, and second chances of the South find their way into music.
Rooted in Mississippi and the broader Southern musical landscape, this free event is open to the public. Please let us know you’re coming to help us prepare.
