Interview and Performance: Rosanne Cash

To celebrate the opening of the exhibition Rosanne Cash: Time Is a Mirror, Rosanne Cash will sit down for a one-on-one interview with the museum’s RJ Smith. Beginning in the 1970s and continuing to the present day, Cash has staked out a distinctive place in American music. Her songs have drawn on rockabilly rhythms, the truth-telling of folk-rock songwriters, West Coast country-rock energy, new wave flash and deeply rooted country music. A four-time Grammy winner, Cash’s hits include “Seven Year Ache,” “Blue Moon with Heartache,” “I Don’t Know Why You Don’t Want Me,” “I Don't Want to Spoil the Party,” “It Hasn’t Happened Yet,” “Tennessee Flat Top Box," “No Memories Hangin' Round” and “Never Be You,” among others. Throughout her career, she has maintained an unwavering artistic spirit and vision. In 2021, Cash became the first female composer to receive the MacDowell Medal, awarded since 1960 to an artist who has made an outstanding contribution to American culture. The interview will be illustrated with archival photos, audio recordings and video clips. Cash will also perform during the program. Offered in support of the exhibition Rosanne Cash: Time Is a Mirror.
