MURFREESBORO — A
winter storm in Maryland has resulted in the cancellation of renowned folk
scholar Stephen Wade's planned MTSU campus visit this week.
The visit,
which was to have included free public concerts and chats as well as classroom
discussions with students, will be rescheduled and announced later this year as
part of MTSU's Tom T. Hall Writers Series, organizers said.
Wade, a
Grammy-nominated folk musician/scholar/author,planned to perform for and talk
with MTSU audiences this week, but the winter storm around his Maryland home
has made travel too dangerous.
Wade
incorporates live music, projected imagery and spoken narrative to explore the
stories behind his award-winning 504-page book, “The Beautiful Music All Around
Us: Field Recordings and the American Experience.”
“Beautiful
Music” is a collection of Library of Congress field recordings spanning from
1934 to1942 and hailing from Southern Appalachia down to the Mississippi Delta.

The Tom T.
Hall Writers Series in the College of Mass Communication at MTSU celebrates
songwriters, authors, poets and screenwriters and offers students, faculty,
staff and the public a chance to learn more about the creative process as well
as the business end of success.
