"Meridian Rising" with Paul Burch

Join us for a book reading and live performance by musician, author, and scholar Paul Burch.

Burch’s debut novel, "Meridian Rising," is an imagined memoir that traces the life of Jimmie Rodgers—the Father of Country Music. Deftly blending history and fiction to create a vibrant alternate life, Burch brings another dimension to Jimmie’s story, the lives he touched, and the lives he inspired. Blues historian and host of MPB’s "Highway 61," Scott Barretta, will join Burch in conversation.

Part-concert, part-book reading, this event is presented in partnership with the Jimmie Rodgers Museum.
