About "Chris Hillman: Time Between":

Long time resident of Ventura, Chris Hillman is a national treasure. Along with frequent collaborators Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gram Parsons, Stephen Stills and Steve Hill, he was a key figure in the development of country rock, virtually defining the genre through his seminal work in “The Byrds” and “The Flying Burrito Brothers”, and later became the leader of the country act “The Desert Rose Band”.

Hillman lost part of his home in the Thomas Fire but was grateful that firefighters and first responders were able to save the residence. This legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has loaned the museum for display some of the memorabilia collected in his six decade long career as a musician, singer and songwriter. Speaking about the exhibit, Chris Hillman expressed, “I am very honored to be a part of the Museum of Ventura County’s exhibit on my life in music. I feel so blessed to have been able to seek out and accomplish all that I dreamed of as a young man”.

The exhibit ran at the Museum of Ventura County from January 11, 2019 thru March 31, 2019. For more information on "Chris Hillman: Time Between", watch our Exhibit Sneak Peak: https://youtu.be/QckucNEIBKQ
