A comprehensive history of country music in Illinois is the theme of a documentary that will air this Monday by Illinois Public Media.
Director Sarah Edwards and Producer DJ Roach stopped by the WHOW studios this week to discuss the upcoming documentary to be aired on the WILL network of stations around Illinois. Edwards calls it a "101 of country music" in Illinois.
According to Roach, Illinois has quite the story to tell in terms of its history with country music. He says at first he was not sure there was a big enough story but as they began to research he says there was a lot he learned.
The documentary airs this Monday, March 2 at 7 pm on most WILL-TV networks. It will also be re-aired Friday, March 6 at 7:30 pm. Visit will.illinois.edu/illinoiscountry for more on this documentary.
