The United States has long been a hotbed of pop culture – the birthplace of numerous musical genres and some of the world’s most famous singers, songwriters, directors and film stars. 

One museum that celebrates American musical history is GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi. Located in Cleveland, Mississippi, it is the only official Grammy museum outside of Los Angeles, recognizing that Mississippi has the most Grammy winners per capita than any other state.

Why is there a GRAMMY Museum® in Cleveland, MS, one of the poorest regions in the United States?

Discover this answer and more as we discuss the rich musical heritage found in the Mississippi Delta and the influence Mississippi artists have had on various genres in a virtual talk on June 9 at 6 PM MSK.

If you are a music lover or would like to know more about American music, join this virtual talk on June 9 at 6 PM MSK to enjoy a lot of catchy tunes of various genres and to explore the history of the blues and its origins right in the Mississippi Delta as well as Mississippi’s contributions to Country, Rock and Roll, and Hip-Hop!

Led by Katie Hugley, Education and Outreach Manager at GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi.
