MO Humanities: The Center of Nowhere: The Spirit and Sounds of Springfield, Missouri (2020)

The Story of Us: Missouri Through Film is a series featuring films that are culturally important to Missouri in general, and the Ozarks in particular. This FREE series is sponsored by the Missouri Humanities Council and presented in partnership with Drury University. There will be a discussion following the film with a member from our Springfield community.

The Center of Nowhere (The Spirit and Sounds of Springfield, Missouri), featuring musical legends Merle Haggard, Dan Penn, Brenda Lee, and others, is a history and celebration of “America’s most overlooked music scene,” weaving the tale of how the rogue city on Route 66 shaped a compelling sound that influenced country, folk, gospel, rock, and roots music globally.
