Country Music Hall of Fame, Ford TheatreScreening and Discussion with: Glen Campbell, Julian Raymond and George DoughertyPresented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Nashville Public TelevisionIn partnership with Capitol Records and Sin City Marketing"Meet Glen Campbell: A Documentary" invites the re-discovery of a legendary American musical master through the inspired creation of his latest album release. Starting out on the road as a fourteen year old prodigy with a seven dollar guitar, Glen is recognized today among players across generations and music genres as a "musician's musician."

The film traces some of the major influences on Glen Campbell's accomplished musicianship from his rural Arkansas roots growing up in a musical family to recording with some of the biggest stars in music and his eventual rise to become one of them himself. See the story of his new album Meet Glen Campbell (produced by Julian Raymond) in this special screening session and his return to his long time record label Capitol Records.

Presented in partnership with the Americana Music Association, Glen Campbell, filmmaker George Dougherty, and album producer Julian Raymond will screen a sneak peek of the film, discuss the recording process, and take questions from the audience. Free to AMA conference registrants. Included with museum admission or free to museum members.
