British singer-songwriter Yola released Walk Through Fire, her debut album for Easy Eye Sound, in 2019. Produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, the album blends country and soul with lush orchestral arrangements. She was nominated for four awards at the 2020 Grammys, including the all-genre Best New Artist award, and has been named Artist of the Year at the UK Americana Awards twice. Yola is also featured in the “Unbroken Circle” portion of the exhibit American Currents: State of the Music alongside one of her idols, Dolly Parton.

Tune in to Instagram Live every Tuesday at 8:00 PM CDT for songs and stories from hit songwriters. This interactive program is a spinoff of the museum’s popular Saturday Songwriter Session, a live performance—in which audience questions are welcome—offered weekly in the museum’s Ford Theater. The museum brings this program to your home online through Instagram Live.
