“CRS celebrates the amazing music coming out of Nashville and traces the roots of that music wherever it may be grounded,” said CRS President and panel moderator, Charlie Morgan. “This year, our attendees will have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet and learn from many of the men who created some of the most powerful and enduring music of the last century, when we host the stars of the documentary ‘Muscle Shoals.’ The documentary blew me away personally and I can’t wait to meet these legends.”
Along with the iconic panelists sharing their stories of Muscle Shoals, the session will feature clips from the documentary. Following the panel, a free screening of the movie will be held during CRS After Hours.
