Caleb Lee Hutchinson will headline the Harold Shedd Foundation Georgia Music Heritage Community Celebration at The Hub, TODAY June 20
The Harold Shedd Music Gallery will offer a museum-style experience with interactive exhibits, educational installations, rare memorabilia, and curated collections. The June 20 event will also include a vision presentation with the Foundation’s board members, Bremen Mayor Sharon Sewell, R.K. Redding Construction, the Greater Haralson Chamber of Commerce, and Shedd himself for VIPs and media members.
“I am so honored to be celebrated along with great talented artists I signed and produced over the years with this Gallery opening,” said Harold Shedd, Multiplatinum Music Producer. “Since much of the music I developed with them is still played on the radio and streaming platforms, it makes me realize that my 90+ years on this Earth have made a difference. It is my close friends like the guys at Alabama, Billy Ray Cyrus, The Kentucky Headhunters, Caleb Lee Hutchinson and others that are still traveling and performing that make me so proud and keep me moving.”
“We’re grateful to Harold and to the Foundation for letting us be a part of something so meaningful,” said Kentucky Headhunters Richard Young, a longtime friend of Shedd. “West Georgia raised a legend.”
The introduction of the museum will be supported by a busy day of media-friendly events including:
12:30 p.m. — Vision Presentation for invited guests will include a sizzle reel of Harold Shedd’s career and a preview of the Foundation’s plans for the Music Gallery.
1:15 p.m. — Private VIP reception and lunch at The Stockroom.
6:30 p.m. — Free and public Georgia Music Heritage Community Celebration featuring Caleb Lee Hutchinson.
Shedd built a career that took him from local radio to Nashville’s top production rooms. He helped launch the careers of Alabama, Billy Ray Cyrus, Toby Keith, Shania Twain and several others. Shedd produced Alabama’s first single and guided them through 21 consecutive number one hits. He co-owned the Music Mill studio and later became president of Mercury Records and Polydor Nashville. He was inducted in 1989 into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. U.S. Route 27 in Bremen is named “Harold Shedd Highway” in his honor.
The Hub opened in December as a family-friendly park, performance venue and as a gathering space in Bremen.
