Emily Kinney, Alan Menken and More Make Up the Month of June at GRAMMY Museum

This June, the GRAMMY Museum is highlighting a unique array of people like the man who shaped the lives of Disney fans in the ‘90s and a young woman whose character met her maker on a hit television series and subsequently went on to focus on her singing career.

Alan Menken | June 1
Those who have a fondness for the music that came from Disney classics of the ‘90s have Alan Menken to thank. He was the man behind the score to such movies as “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin” and “Beauty and The Beast.” His career spans almost 40 years and in that time he’s taken home eight Oscars and 11 GRAMMYs. Menken will be in the Clive Davis Theater to talk with Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares, Scott Goldman, about his fascinating life as well as what’s next on his agenda.

Emily Kinney | June 2
She played Beth Greene on AMC’s “The Walking Dead” until the ‘15 season when she was taken out with one shot. But alas, Emily lived on in reality and while she’s still acting, she’s also focusing on her vocal talents. With a few records under her belt including her latest “This Is War,” Kinney will be chatting with Scott Goldman about her rising star and then she will give fans an intimate show. The singer/actress will be sticking around to sign CDs after the performance as well.

Greatest Hits | June 16
ABC is about to air a six-week event that brings some of the biggest artists, both past and present, together to celebrate hits that defined music from the ‘80s, ‘90s and ‘00s.

This event includes the screening as well as a panel discussion featuring film director/producer Keith Maitland, executive producer and GRAMMY telecast co-producer Terry Lickona and film producer Sarah Wilson.

Goo Goo Dolls | June 23
Since the late ‘80s, this band has sold more than 12 million albums and they’ve showed no signs of slowing down. With hits like “Slide” and “Iris” in their discography, they’ve managed to remain a relevant band all these years later and fans continue to show them love with each new release including their latest, May’s “Boxes.” They’ll be at the Museum to talk about their legacy along with their current album and tour and will also be treating fans to a performance.
