This resolution honors the contributions of country music to the story and history of the U.S. and encourages the American people to observe “National Country Music Month” with appropriate ceremonies and activities. “Tennessee is the heart of country music, from its birthplace in Bristol to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville,” said Senator Blackburn. “This National Country Music Month, we honor the legendary Dolly Parton, whose iconic voice, songwriting, and showmanship inspired generations of performers and fans. Country music has always captured the spirit of our nation—our faith, our families, and our freedoms—and it is my honor to lead this resolution recognizing this incredible legacy.” “Music has always been a big part of my life, from listening to and playing songs with my family to jamming with friends,” said Senator Kaine. “Bristol is the birthplace of country music, so I’m glad to join Senator Blackburn in introducing this resolution to recognize October as National Country Music Month and celebrate this incredible genre and its contributions to our nation’s history and culture.” | 1 | 2026-09-29T11:07:12Z | 2026-09-29T11:08:49Z |
