Music of the Carter Family, Appalachian folk traditions, & beyond with award-winning Appalachian Folk Singer-Songwriter, Ash Devine.

Coming all the way from the Blue Ridge Mountain region of southwestern VA, Ash Devine weaves an evening of song, story, and traditional tunes from the Appalachian regions featuring music of Maybelle Carter & the legendary Carter Family band, country blues master Leslie Riddle, and ballads collected by traditional bearers of the southern Appalachian region. Throughout the show, Devine discusses the historic folkloric contributions from song collectors in the southern Appalachian region such as Cecil Sharp, Maud Karpeles, Bascom & Lunsford, Olive Dame Campbell, the Carter Family, Leslie Riddle, and later, contemporary folklorists such as Mike Seeger, Jean Richie, and Sheila Kay Adams.
