TUSCUMBIA-The music community of The Shoals came together for a celebration at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame for the grand opening of a new exhibit on Monday, May 3. Alabama’s Bluegrass was honored with this new exhibit. “Since May is Bluegrass Month, this will be a great time to open the exhibit and honor this genre of music.” said Dixie Griffin, Manager. “This exhibit will be new to the museum and allow the Alabama Music Hall of Fame to host other Bluegrass events during the summer months.”
This exhibit is a temporary exhibit and has been custom designed by David Boley, president of the Alabama Bluegrass Music Association. Boley introduced the exhibit and was on hand to answer questions. Several inductees of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame were on hand to help with the celebration as well as The Shoals Chamber who held a ribbon cutting to kick off the new exhibit.
The Quad Cities Daily along with the Shoals Chamber was on hand to capture the event in photos and we present them to you here:
