Country artist and producer Buddy Miller will host and curate some intimate evening performances in August in his role as the Country Music Hall of Fame’s 2010 Artist-in-Residence. Miller’s performances are set for August 10, 17 and 24 at 7 p.m.

Miller’s residency marks the official re-opening of the Museum’s Ford Theater, which was damaged in the catastrophic flood that hit Nashville in May.

Established in 2003, the Museum's residency program annually honors a musical master who can be credited with contributing a large and significant body of work to American music. Previous honorees include Cowboy Jack Clement, Earl Scruggs, Tom T. Hall, Guy Clark, Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Douglas and Vince Gill.

Miller has played guitar and sung harmonies with Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Robert Plant and Lucinda Williams. As a co-producer, he has added his own country twist to Solomon Burke, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Patty Griffin, Allison Moorer, Robert Plant and Vigilantes of Love. Country artists Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, the Dixie Chicks, Lee Ann Womack and others have recorded his songs.

More recently, Buddy recorded an album for release next year with fellow guitar adventurers Bill Frisell, Greg Leisz and Marc Ribot, as the Majestic Silver Strings, and he's touring this summer with Patty Griffin and Robert Plant, after co-producing albums with both.
