Rivers of Rhythm is a joint production of The National Museum of African American Music and WSM Radio. Your host is NMAAM Curator Steven Lewis. It's a show, much like NMAAM, that tracks the genealogy of American Music. In each episode, Steven chats with those involved with the museum to tell the stories of the exhibits, the history of the music and the importance of Nashville being the city where the museum will live.
