For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900154@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T120110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260401T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260401T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling. \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

Through a combination of panel discussions\, flash talks by faculty-student pairs\, and interactive workshops\, the event will create a space for students\, faculty\, alumni\, and community members to reflect on how movements for racial and social justice have shaped higher education and to envision new strategies for democratic engagement today!Each year\, SCOR is proud to host an annual social justice symposium. This event is a part of SCOR’s legacy and a testament to our commitment of fostering dialogue and awareness surrounding the academic\, social\, and cultural journeys of graduate students of color at the University of Michigan. While the symposium is thoughtfully designed with the needs and experiences of graduate students in focus\, we extend invitations to both undergraduate students and faculty\, recognizing that our experiences are not only unique to us. We understand it is important to garner a supportive community. We seek support from faculty who have navigated similar paths and from other students who resonate with the symposium themes. This is also an opportune time to connect with others who are contemplating their next steps after undergraduate or masters studies. Aligned with our mission\, SCOR welcomes everyone\, irrespective of identities\, religion\, culture or abilities to participate in the symposium\, showcasing the rich diversity and wealth of scholarly talent that Michigan graduate students have to offer. In pursuit of our objectives\, this year's symposium revolves around the theme \"Express Yourself—a vibrant celebration of self-expression.\" Our aim is to cultivate a safe and encouraging space for students to explore creative outlets and illuminate how their multifaceted experiences shape their research\, hobbies\, and other interests in the face of challenging realities.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

The Information Age Behind the Iron Curtain: Bulgarian Computers and The Society They Tried to Build DESCRIPTION:How did a small Balkan state become a Cold War power in the electronic field during its socialist period? During the years of late socialism\, Bulgaria developed a computer industry that commanded the export market of the Eastern Bloc. Users and states from the Inner German Border to Vladivostok\, and many states in the Global South\, were equipped with Bulgarian computers\, drives\, and tools. Developed as a prestige project by a communist party that sought a ‘golden goose’ industrial niche\, the industry spawned a far-spanning vision of socialist modernity that touched on all aspects of socialist Bulgaria: from political economy and planning\, to labor and gender\, to children\, literature\, and concepts of the human-machine hybrid that was the future. The talk\, based on the author’s first book\, will try to see what the information age looked like behind the Iron Curtain\, and push back against narratives of the failure of socialism to enter the information economy. It shows an Iron Curtain that is far more porous than expected\; an Eastern Bloc connected to the Global South through business dealings as well as development\; and the impact of such stories on the narrative of 1989 as a convenient end point for the socialist past.\n \n Victor Petrov is a historian of the modern Balkans\, with interests in the history of technology & science\, the Cold War\, utopian thinking and alternative knowledge communities. He is Associate Professor of History at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville. His first book\, Balkan Cyberia: Cold War Computing\, Bulgarian Modernization\, and the Information Age Behind the Iron Curtain came out with MIT Press in 2023. He is currently pursuing projects in the post-socialist explosion of supernatural phenomena in Bulgaria\; and histories of outer space\, especially of the 'space commons' approach of the socialist states' Interkosmos program.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

This paper analyzes the extent to which these differences reflect causal effects of marriage versus selection. We develop a dynamic Roy model that allows for selection into and out of marriage\, with cognitive skill evolving according to a dynamic latent factor model. A long panel of marriage decisions permits identification of unobserved heterogeneity jointly affecting both marriage and skill development. Model estimates indicate that marriage improves skill development. A decomposition analysis suggests that differences in the technology of skill formation between the married and single states explains 30% of the skill difference between children growing up in two-parent and one-parent households while income differences explain 16%.

This program culminated in the Veneziano amplitude which gave birth to string theory\, but was abandoned as an approach to the strong force after the identification of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) as the microscopic theory of hadron physics. Yet QCD at low energies remains largely unsolved. I will describe how modern bootstrap methods\, powered new theoretical insights and computational techniques\, allow us to revisit this classic program with unprecedented rigor. Consistency of pion scattering — with minimal assumptions about the lightest resonances — leads to the emergence of Regge trajectories from the bootstrap bounds. The bootstrap approach becomes particularly sharp in the limit of a large number of colors. The low-lying spectrum of the extremal solutions shows a tantalizing\, and still somewhat mysterious\, quantitative proximity to the real-world meson masses. I will discuss what we are learning from these results and outline open questions on the path toward a bootstrap solution of large N QCD.

In this talk\, we give an overview of some basic tools used in the study of 4-manifolds and use them to give an outline of the construction of exotic R4\, a smooth manifold which is homeomorphic to the standard R4 but not diffeomorphic.

They satisfy remarkable Hodge theoretic properties that are satisfied by a smooth projective variety. These special properties became the start of combinatorial Hodge theory\, and played a key role in the resolution of the Heron-Rota-Welsh conjecture on log-concavity of characteristic polynomials of matroids\, and the Dowling—Wilson top-heavy conjecture. I will survey some properties of Chow rings and K-rings of matroids\, including the construction of an exceptional Hirzebruch—Riemann—Roch theorem. I will touch on some progress on open conjectures surrounding real-rootedness of Poincare polynomials of the Chow rings of matroids\, and their connection to combinatorial commutative algebra.

One can ask when $q$ can be represented by $Q$ - that is\, whether there exists an $n \times m$-integer matrix $T$ such that $Q \circ T = q$. Naturally\, a necessary condition is that such a representation exists locally\, meaning over the real numbers and modulo $N$ for every positive integer $N$. In the absence of local obstructions\, does a (global) representation of $q$ by $Q$ exist? This question is particularly delicate when the codimension $n-m$ is small\, with codimension $2$ being the most challenging.\n\nIn the first talk\, we will give a broad introduction to Linnik-type equidistribution problems (e.g. for periodic geodesics on the modular surface) in the context of the above question for quadratic forms. We will also explain some ideas of Linnik’s ergodic approach to such problems.\n\nNote a second talk in the Geometry Seminar on Thursday.

Native Texan\, Crowell is a multi-Grammy Award-winning troubadour with fifteen number one hits. Over the course of his career\, Crowell has gracefully blended his own mainstream success as an artist with a prolific catalog of songs cut by the likes of Emmylou Harris\, Johnny Cash\, Waylon Jennings\, Keith Urban and more\, making him a master among his peers. \n\nWith more than 40 years of American roots music under his belt\, Crowell has also been cited as the architect of Americana music\, extending his genre reach\, but owing to the distinctly universal\, literary quality of his writing\, he has also penned beloved songs for artists as diverse as Bob Seger\, Etta James\, the Grateful Dead\, John Denver\, Jimmy Buffett and countless others.\n\nA member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame\, Crowell is also the author of the acclaimed memoir\, Chinaberry Sidewalks\, and teamed up with New York Times best-selling author Mary Karr for Kin: Songs by Mary Karr & Rodney Crowell in 2012\, with Karr saying of her collaborator\, “Like Hank Williams or Townes Van Zandt or Miss Lucinda\, he writes and croons with a poet’s economy and a well digger’s deep heart.” Crowell was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award in 2017\, and that same year released the album Close Ties\, which spawned another Grammy nomination for “It Ain’t Over Yet” with Rosanne Cash and John Paul White in the category of Best Americana Song. 2019’s Texas was a collection of Lone Star-centric collaborations with Ringo Starr\, Willie Nelson\, Ronnie Dunn\, Steve Earle and more\, and Crowell’s most recent album release is the 2021 set\, Triage. \n\nCrowell came up in Nashville’s songwriting heyday alongside Guy Clark\, Townes Van Zandt\, and Steve Earle and has continued that legacy of camaraderie and kinship with his peers well into the iconic era of his career. As many say - “your favorite song was probably written by Rodney Crowell.” Crowell has four daughters and lives with his wife and dog in Tennessee. He writes every day and loves tending to his garden.
