Join us at the Woody Guthrie Center on Jan. 10, 2026, at 2 p.m. for a special conversation between author and historian Michael Scully and Senior Director Cady Shaw as they explore how Scully’s remarkable archive reflects and strengthens the center’s mission to preserve and share the voices that shape American folk traditions. Scully, who generously donated his research papers and interview recordings used for his book, “The Never-Ending Revival: Rounder Records and the Folk Alliance,” to the center in 2018, will discuss the stories behind his work and why the Woody Guthrie Center felt like the truest home for his materials. As part of a recent grant-funded preservation project, Scully’s archival interview recordings will soon be available to researchers and the public. This event promises an inspiring look at the enduring legacy of folk music and the importance of preserving its history.

Richie Owens — a longtime Nashville producer, performer, and cousin of Dolly Parton — brings decades of musical lineage and collaborations with artists such as Vince Gill, Michael Stipe, and The Bangles, while Bob Ocker handles harmony and string work with soul and restraint, adding texture and nuance to every tune. Their performance unfolds as part concert and part living history. This evocative showcase of storytelling promises an unforgettable journey through the past and present of American roots music.
