The Place to Stay and Play

In 1927 musician Ralph Peer made a trip to Bristol that would change his life and those of musicians of that era and beyond. It was at this time that several "founders" of country music we were discovered - the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, the Stoneman family and others - country music was born!
