(April 3, 2008)

*Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame (EMP|SFM) in Seattle announce an original exhibition featuring the legendary Jimi Hendrix.

Jimi Hendrix: An Evolution of Sound, opening April 26, will focus on the visitor experience and how Hendrix indelibly affected popular music with his unique talents and innovative sound.

"This new exhibition will illustrate Hendrix's musical evolution in five stages, from his early days in Seattle, to his time as a journeyman musician touring the southern "chitlin' circuit" and in New York City, to his explosion on the popular music scene in London and beyond," said Jacob McMurray, senior curator at EMP|SFM. "The exhibition will weave together the various musical styles and cultures that Hendrix soaked up throughout his all-too-short journey."

Within the gallery, visitors can view one hour of Hendrix concert films, including footage of Hendrix performing at Monterey, Woodstock, Berkeley, The Isle of Wight and more. In addition, guests can listen to extensive Hendrix recordings on gallery iPods. The Play On Theater offers visitors the opportunity to view rare Hendrix films and footage.

Jimi Hendrix: An Evolution of Sound closes on Sunday, April 11, 2010.
