The line-up was assembled by David Cobb and Shooter Jennings who aimed to bring together veteran and new artists drawing from the outlaw country style that took on Nashville all the way from Austin, Texas during the Outlaw Country Era.
The incredible night of music will set the stage for the ongoing exhibition, which according to a press release will include "the still where storyteller Tom T. Hall and the 'bootleg preacher' Will D. Campbell made whiskey, the Randall knife that once belonged to Guy Clark's father, the paintings of Susanna Clark, the outfit worn by Joe Ely when he worked at a circus, the remarkable photography of Leonard Kamsler and Marshall Fallwell Jr., the Gibson guitar played by Cowboy Jack Clement, and the Armadillo art of Jim Franklin."
