Grammy Museum Mississippi will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:00 AM to commemorate and celebrate its first ten years of impact.

Immediately following the ceremony, the Museum will present a free, family-friendly Roots Music Festival on the Museum lawn.

The festival will include free admission to both the event and the Museum, food trucks with food available for purchase, hands-on education programming from 12:00 to 2:00 PM, and live performances by Hi Rhythm, Bobby Rush, Terrence and Marcella Simien, Carla Thomas and Cedric Burnside.

Terrance Simien and his daughter Marcella share the stage for an unforgettable night of traditions, influences, and generations. 

In Creole traditions, zydeco music is a continuation of a family bloodline of rhythm and resistance — handed down through memory and melody. It’s a heritage that lives in the hands of the accordion, the rubboard, and the voices that keep the stories alive while connecting the past with the present.

Join Marcella at English Folk Expo for her showcase at 4PM @ Hallé at St Michael's!
