The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and Virginia are the
heart of a region where traditional music and dance are celebrated
as nowhere else in America. This book is a comprehensive traveler's
guide to discovering the many places where this unique music-making
legacy thrives. The book leads readers to more than 160 venues and
events filled with bluegrass and string band music, ballad singing,
fiddling, shape-note singing, gospel music, clogging, and other
traditional forms of music and dance. Vivid descriptions bring the
mountain music scene to life in all its diversity. Nearly 150 color
photographs are partnered with the moving words of musicians
themselves, allowing readers a glimpse into the hearts and minds of
the bearers of this enduring folk legacy. Concise driving
directions and up-to-date maps accompany the entries for the events
covered, which range from small, local jam sessions to well-known
festivals that draw thousands of fans. An engaging and essential
resource for music lovers, this guide invites everyone to
experience a great American musical tradition. The Blue Ridge Music
Trails are a project of the Blue Ridge Heritage Initiative and its
partners, the North Carolina Arts Council, the Virginia Commission
for the Arts, the Blue Ridge Institute and Museum of Ferrum
College, the North Carolina Folklife Institute, and the Blue Ridge
Parkway Division of the National Park Service.
