Today’s Granoff Music Center Colloquium at Tufts University is “Starting and Running a Record Company – the Rounder Records Story” and features one of Rounder’s founders, Tufts alum Bill Nowlin. Focused on American roots music, Rounder’s catalog of more than 3,000 titles includes records by Alison Krauss and Union Station, George Thorogood, Tony Rice, and Béla Fleck, in addition to re-releases of seminal albums by artists such as the Carter Family, Jelly Roll Morton, Lead Belly, and Woody Guthrie. “Championing and preserving the music of artists whose music falls outside of the mainstream,” Rounder releases have won 54 Grammy Awards representing diverse genres, from bluegrass, folk, reggae, and gospel to pop, rock, Americana, polka, and world music. In 2016, Rounder founders Marian Leighton Levy, Ken Irwin, and Nowlin were inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. Free to the public with no tickets required.
