S.C. native and acclaimed singer/songwriter Marshall Chapman will give a free talk at the Waccamaw Library in April as part of the library’s “First Thursday” speaker series, sponsored by the Friends of the Waccamaw Library.
Chapman will present “Tales from Outlaw Country: A South Carolina Star’s Time in Nashville” at 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 6. Chapman was an integral member of the 1970s “outlaw country” music scene, alongside greats such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. Chapman is also an accomplished author, whose books include “They Came to Nashville” (Vanderbilt 2010) and “Goodbye, Little Rock and Roller” (St. Martin’s 2003).
Chapman recently gave a free performance at the library as part of its musician series, where she proved to be an engaging storyteller.
