This exhibition of 53 rare, original concert announcements, dating back to as early as 1940, are now on display at the Strawberry Plains Campus Library through June 15, 2026. From the private collection of Tom Murphy, who has been preserving window cards, handbills, mailers, broadsides, and other posters of various genres for over 50 years, these ephemeral pieces document the story of bluegrass, country, and old-time music from our region.

The exhibit was made possible by the Pellissippi State Libraries Appalachian Heritage Project, which was developed with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and offers quarterly programming and scheduled exhibits to support humanities education at Pellissippi State and in the community.

Narration by Tom Murphy and filmed by Tate Johnson.
