The Birthplace of Country Music Alliance is a non-profit organization located in Bristol, Tennessee. The organization was founded in 1998 with the aim of preserving and promoting the rich musical heritage of the region. Bristol is known as the "Birthplace of Country Music" because it was the site of the famous recording sessions by Ralph Peer in 1927 that launched the careers of many legendary country music stars.

The Birthplace of Country Music Alliance is housed in a historic building that was once the site of a bustling downtown department store. The building has been beautifully restored and now serves as a museum and cultural center. The museum features interactive exhibits, artifacts, and multimedia displays that tell the story of the Bristol Sessions and the impact they had on the development of American music.

In addition to the museum, the Birthplace of Country Music Alliance sponsors a variety of educational programs, concerts, and festivals. The organization also operates a radio station, WBCM Radio Bristol, that broadcasts traditional and contemporary country music, as well as interviews and performances by local and regional musicians.

The Birthplace of Country Music Alliance is a vital part of the cultural landscape of Bristol and the surrounding region. It celebrates the rich musical traditions of the area and works to ensure that those traditions continue to thrive for future generations.
