The Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame: Inaugural Induction Ceremony is set to premiere on public television November 1 (check local listings) and streaming on PBS.org and the PBS App nationwide.

Welcoming the first class of inductees into the hall, the hour-long special captures the essence of a genre deeply rooted in tradition yet constantly evolving. Step into the intimate setting of this inaugural celebration featuring icons such as Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, Judy Collins, The Indigo Girls, Livingston Taylor, and many more. Through captivating performances and exclusive interviews, viewers are treated to a behind-the-scenes glimpse into this incredible event.

“The documentary captures the magical weekend beautifully as we welcomed both artists and their families for a homecoming of folk music,” said Josiah Spaulding, Founder of FARHOF and Advisory Consultant. “The documentary lifts the veil, showing the personal side of the legends of folk that crafted the songs that served as vehicles for social change and defined generations.”
