Emmylou Harris has made a name for herself in country music since releasing her debut album, Gilded Light, in 1969. She has since become a go-to duet partner for artists like Gram Parsons, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Dolly Parton, and Linda Ronstadt.
Harris has established herself as a songwriter in her own right, particularly in the latter years of her career, in addition to being one of the most well-known song interpreters in American music.
She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008, making her one of the genre’s important characters throughout time.
She reinvented traditional country music, unearthed new songwriters, recorded important songs, and produced albums that served as benchmarks for what is now referred to as Americana music.
Harris will talk about her background as the daughter of a POW, her discovery of the breadth and complexity of country music, her work with Americana pioneer Gram Parsons, and her impressive body of records.
