Acclaimed songwriter Natalie Hemby shares stories from her life and career and performs some of her biggest hits as part of the Museum's "Poets and Prophets" series, which honors songwriters who have made notable contributions to country music. Throughout the program, Hemby discusses her upbringing in a musical family, including the influence of her grandfather, George Hemby, and her parents’ work for Amy Grant. Hemby learned piano at a young age and later picked up guitar, and was brought into the country music world through work singing demos for song-publishing companies, including many for the publisher Jody Williams, who introduced Hemby to her husband, producer Mike Wrucke. Through Wrucke, Hemby met Miranda Lambert, then an emerging artist, beginning a long-standing friendship and musical partnership that has produced several chart-topping hits.
