Now in its seventh year, the College of Liberal Arts presents American Strings – a series of conversations with iconic musicians whose sounds have shaped an era. Prior guests have included Keb' Mo', Rosanne Cash, Shemekia Copeland, and dozens more.

Hosted by ethnomusicologist Kelly Bosworth, who picks up leadership of the series from founder Bob Santelli, American Strings offers probing dialogues as well as the opportunity to hear guest musicians performing selections in an intimate setting.

Guests for American Strings are announced six weeks prior to their appearances.
