Celebrated Nashville bassist Alison Prestwood first fell in love with the instrument when she saw the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. She bought her first bass at age thirteen, and after attending the University of Alabama—where she played in the school’s jazz ensemble—she spent twelve years performing in Atlanta’s live music scene. Upon moving to Nashville in the 1990s, Prestwood found touring work with Rodney Crowell, Patty Loveless, Olivia Newton-John, and others. She also became an in-demand studio bassist and can be heard on several of Blake Shelton’s early hits, including his chart-topping debut, “Austin,” and his version of “Ol’ Red.” Prestwood has also recorded with Trace Adkins, Frankie Ballard, Brooks & Dunn, Faith Hill, LoCash, Tim McGraw, Little Richard, Jessica Simpson, and more. In recent years, she has served as Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member Peter Frampton’s touring bassist. During this program, Prestwood will discuss her life and career with the Museum’s, supplemented with rare photos, audio and video. After the program, Prestwood will sign commemorative Hatch Show Print posters. Ford Theater.
