We talk with writer and journalist Craig Havighurst about the history of the Station Inn and its fate after the passing of owner JT Gray. We also discuss what Craig is excited about for the rest of 2021.

In addition to being a writer (he wrote Air Castle of the South: WSM and the making of Music City in 2011), Craig is a staff music producer for WMOT Roots Radio. He is also a regular contributor for WPLN in Nashville and Nashville Public Radio, and he has produced short documentaries for permanent exhibition at the Earl Scruggs center.

Craig has been senior producer, co-host and show journalist for Music City Roots, a weekly Americana radio show for over a decade. Music City Roots is in a production hiatus while the show builds a custom venue in Nashville, which he also talks about in this episode.
