Statler Brothers Get Special Exhibition At Country Music Hall Of Fame June 1

Legendary quartet the Statler Brothers, whose tight harmonies and dynamic stage shows delighted decades of fans and influenced generations of country vocal groups that followed, are the subject of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's newest spotlight exhibit, The Statler Brothers: Havin' Quite a Time, which opens June 1. Incorporating photographs, costumes, instruments and song manuscripts from the Statler Brothers and the Museum's collection, the exhibition, located within the Museum's permanent exhibit, will run through May 2011.

In conjunction with the exhibit, the Country Music Hall of Fame members-Phil Balsley, Jimmy Fortune, Don Reid and Harold Reid-will review their career and discuss the new exhibit on Thursday, June 3, at noon. The program, which is included with Museum admission and free to Museum members, will include an audience question-and-answer session. Following the program, the group will sign autographs in the Museum Store.

The Statler Brothers: Havin' Quite a Time will trace the quartet's nearly half-century career, from their early days touring with Johnny Cash to their eventual status as one of country music's top-grossing and critically acclaimed acts. The Statler Brothers' unique mixture of humor, showmanship, musical talent and patriotism kept the tradition of quartet singing alive in country music and paved the way for subsequent groups such as the Oak Ridge Boys.
