    1 => 'Dates: April 17 – September 30\\, 2026 \\nLocation: Special Exhibits Gallery\\, Birthplace of Country Music Museum \\nBallads – folk songs that tell a story through narrative verse – have been passed down through English\\, Irish\\, and Scottish oral traditions and continue to echo throughout the Appalachian Mountains today. Ballads have long captured the hearts and imagination of songsters\\, storytellers\\, and listeners\\, including award-winning illustrator Charles Vess. In 1993 Vess was inspired to illustrate the ballads he had loved to listen to for so many years. He worked with several award-winning and ballad-loving fantasy authors to develop scripts and compiled a series of beautifully illustrated comics\\, which he published in The Book of Ballads. \\nThe exhibit\\, Charles Vess: The Book of Ballads\\, features seven ballads reimagined by some of the greatest fantasy writers of our time. The featured comics\\, including “The False Knight on the Road” by Neil Gaiman\\, “Thomas the Rhymer” by Sharyn McCrumb\\, and “Barbara Allen” by Midori Snyder\\, are an excellent introduction to traditional ballads for those not yet familiar and a special treat for those who already are. The exhibit also explores the tradition of ballad singing in Appalachia and traces the origin of each ballad and its journey through time. After all\\, singing is one way to keep ballads alive\\, art is another. \\nAbout Charles Vess\\n \\nCharles Vess is a well-known illustrator of mythic fiction. Born in Virginia\\, he began his career working on Marvel’s “Spider-Man” followed by work for other graphic novels and illustrated books at publishing houses such as Tor\\, Harper\\, Abrams\\, and Subterranean Press while living in New York City. \\nSome favorite collaborations include Ursula K. LeGuin’s The Books of Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition (Saga) and Rose (Scholastic) with Jeff Smith\\, as well as Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (Folio Society) Joanne M. Harris (Honeycomb) and Charles de Lint (The Cats of Tanglewood Forest\\, Seven Wild Sisters). Over the years he has also worked extensively with British writer Neil Gaiman (Sandman)\\, including their novel Stardust\\, which was made into a major film. \\nIn 2022 his first novel\\, The Queen of Summer’s Twilight (NewCon Press) was published. Set in Scotland as well as across the border into Faerie it is based on the ancient ballad of Tam-Lin. \\nAnother favorite is Walking Through the Landscape of Faerie (Faerie Magazine) a book of art\\, story and poetry designed by Vess with contributions from many of his favorite writers. This book is only available through its publisher’s website and from Charles Vess himself. Please drop by his table and pick up a copy. \\nVess’ artwork has also been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. He has won two Hugo\\, four World Fantasy\\, three Chesley\\, six Locus\\, one Mythopoeic\\, and two Will Eisner awards for Best Artist over the years. \\nHe lives on the North Fork River in southwestern Virginia where he works diligently from his studio\\, Green Man Press.',

Her music has been featured in the hit show Landman and her debut EP\\, “Why I Sing This Way” was a collection of covers paying respect to some of her heroes including Reba McEntire\\, Conway Twitty and George Jones. She was recently a writer on a Vince Gill song “Lonely’s What I Do” and released the first piece of a project called “Hymns From a Barstool”\\, inspired by the gospel music that shaped her sound today. She’s toured with Willie Nelson\\, Alabama\\, The Castellows and Tracy Lawrence\\, and is looking forward to headlining venues of her own soon. \\nwww.bellefrantz.com \\n \\n\\nAbout Andrew Sa\\n\\n \\nAndrew Sa steps confidently into the spotlight with his debut album American Rough\\, out on June 26 via Bloodshot Records. After growing up in the Bay learning to sing along to classic country hits\\, Sa eventually moved to Chicago to further his songwriting education through a class at the Old Town School of Folk Music\\, and went on to meet the collaborators that shaped his musical career in Chicago for the years to come: Liam Kazar and Sully Davis. It was Davis who first invited Sa to open for the legendary queer country band Lavender Country at The Hideout and also tapped him for the brilliantly campy music revue Cosmic Country Showcase\\, started by Davis and Dorian Gehring in 2018. It was largely through Cosmic Country that Sa became a sought-after voice in Chicago’s independent music scene\\, enveloping audiences with his signature\\, siren-like croon and delectable charm.  \\nSa’s ever-evolving relationships with his collaborators\\, the city of Chicago\\, and his own songwritership paved the way for this impressive debut. Produced by North Carolina-based H.C. McEntire\\, American Rough is an intimate\\, aching\\, sweet-toned showcase of country-colored indie-folk songs that serve as a cinematic portal into Sa’s relationships with men\\, the city\\, and his own pulsing heart. Across its 10 sparkling tracks\\, we find Sa navigating the complicated dance of masculinity as it’s brought to its most tenuous limits. Sa’s evocative poetry and hypnotic\\, sultry\\, lilt captivate and charm\\, held together throughout by McEntire’s pristine and resplendent musical production recalling Roy Orbison\\, Randy Newman\\, Waylon Jennings\\, and the Everly Brothers. In the world of American Rough\\, men hold each other close and sway along to the radio. Rugged voices coo\\, sunlight filters through half-opened windows\\, hard bodies find each other in the dark and soften\\, dreams linger\\, springs bloom taunts. By album closer “Fightin to be Fightin”\\, we feel the complicated weight of masculinity’s sour burden\\, but still trust in Sa’s vision of a gentler kind of manhood. \\nwww.andrewsamusic.com \\n \\n\\n\\nKris Truelsen and Country Casserole \\nKris Truelsen has spent the better part of the last two decades touring across the U.S.\\, honing his craft as a songwriter and performer. With his latest project fronting Country Casserole\\, he leans into the rock n’ roll side of country music. It’s rowdy\\, loose and unmistakably Kris.
