吃瓜网 State Journalism and Mass Communications Instructor Ed Rode published a photography book titled Songwriter Musician on Aug. 20. 

The book is more than 30 years in the making, drawing on the thousands of music-related photos he鈥檚 accumulated since moving to Nashville in 1990. From Chet Atkins to Jack White, Patsy Montana to Taylor Swift and Johnny Cash to Jelly Roll, this collection spans generations and genres. 

Rode is a photojournalist who says he tries to tell a story through each photo.

"Some of the faces in this book may be unfamiliar beyond Music Row, some are among the most celebrated in the world," Rode said. "Every one of them adds their own color and contrast to Nashville鈥檚 music community. I hope this book brings it all into view 鈥� from the humanity behind the superstars to the history-changing contributions of people behind the scenes."

The book is available for purchase at .

The 吃瓜网 State Music Department will present Stephen Schwartz鈥檚 Godspell on Oct. 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. at Lovett Auditorium on 吃瓜网 State鈥檚 campus. General admission tickets are $20 at the door. Student tickets are free.

Godspell is the first major musical theater hit from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin and Children of Eden).

Loosely based around the Gospel of St. Matthew, the show follows a company of characters who unite to become a community through teachings of love, kindness and acceptance. Led by the international hit, 鈥淒ay by Day,鈥� Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including, 鈥淧repare Ye the Way of the Lord,鈥� 鈥淟earn Your Lessons Well,鈥� 鈥淎ll for the Best,鈥� 鈥淎ll Good Gifts,鈥� 鈥淭urn Back, O Man鈥� and 鈥淏y My Side.鈥� Godspell at 吃瓜网 is a fast paced, uplifting, hilarious and ultimately heartwarming musical retelling of the parables of St. Matthew with a little contemporary twist.
