Join KUED at the Salt Lake City Library for a special night honoring country music's roots and influence.

You will watch a 35-minute highlight reel from Ken Burns’ new documentary, Country Music, that chronicles the history of a uniquely American art form. From southern Appalachia’s songs of struggle, heartbreak and faith to the rollicking western swing of Texas, from California honky-tonks to Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, the film will follow the evolution of Country Music over the course of the twentieth century, as it eventually emerged to become “America’s music.” Interspersed among the film highlights, you'll enjoy live music performed by local Utah musicians who have each been asked to cover a country music song in addition to their non-country repertoire. Musicians include folk singer Kate MacLeod, rock band Color Animal, and high desert rock and roll band, The Hollering Pines.

About the branch

NOTE: The Main Library's Rooftop Terrace is closed for renovations.

Salt Lake City's Main Library, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie in conjunction with VCBO Architecture, opened in February 2003 and remains one of the most architecturally unique structures in Utah. This striking 240,000 square-foot structure houses more than 500,000 books and other materials, yet serves as more than just a repository of books and computers. It reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The structure embraces a public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium.

A multi-level reading area along the Glass Lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the Library and the Crescent Wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.
